No, it’s not. You obviously never went to film school. Unless you mean “short” family movie of your kids opening presents and you left the handycam in the van. No aspiring film maker would ever touch a DSLR for something as important as a short, especially if it’s a reel they will be handing out to get noticed. People who are using these cameras are merely trying to prove a point. “Hey look at me! I can shoot movies with a DSLR!” A filmmaker should always use the best gear they can possibly get their hands on, and at this time, that is still a real motion picture camera.

I don’t know about shooting an entire feature on the D90 but its a good option to shoot a short.

Not saying Good video isn’t possible with the D90, it is. I cant find the link but some ones actually shot commercials from big companies using the D90.

You my friend are a moron.

Have shot and edited video (what its called from digital capture) from a RED and from various prosumer cameras I can safely say I do know what I am talking about. RED cameras output in REDCODE which is visually lossless (although mathematically compressed) and allows many of the same benefits of RAW in still photography.

Motion JPEG on the other hand is only useful for showing video to your aunt on the scratched LCD of your D90 in broad daylight!

I’d much rather shoot on a DV recording prosumer 3CCD camera using a fixed lens than on a D90.

I could go on but I fear you wont read it you ignorant, stupid, sack of…

Respect restored, no worries

The big difference between this “feature” and Laforet’s video, is that Laforet worked well within the limits of the 5D to produce a stunning visual work.

These guys made little effort to work with, or around, the rolling shutter in the D90. They could have used (or used a better) steady cam, limited the horizontal panning and put the darn thing on a tripod or very steady mount.

While I applaud their efforts to produce a feature length film with an inexpensive solution the quality comes up way short.

Are we concerned about quality or quantity? The D90 film is better quality than the average YouTube point and shoot pimple popper video, I see nothing that would convince me that this is a better tool than prosumer camcorder and a letus adapter.

These guys have made a big score in publicity for themselves, but if I were going to buy a VSLR solely based on this film and Laforet’s then I’d go with the 5D.

This film and its buzz around the D90 has little to do with the D90, because the visuals are sub-par. These guys have been savvy about using the D90 to create a buzz for them, and we are suckers for thinking its about the D90.

NR Admin, I’m a little dissappointed you were gullible enough to give this rumor so much credit. Because even if by chance it’s a real movie, it’s not a movie to report about, even if shot on a D90.
