Video for an Alternative

Alternative Images has mentioned in past posts that it has been investing in DSLR camera equipment to produce small video sequences for clients. The path here is not to produce large productions with complicated editing but to supply a straight forward answer to many companies that want to use video on their web sites. Maintaining a good quality with an achievable Pro Res 422 but keeping all within the allocated budget. This system I think is the answer. Shooting in HD using a 36 mega pixel chip the quality is quite amazing and suites many applications.

It is mainly used to be more static on a tripod situation. The lenses are the same as if using it as a still camera, so panning in and out is possible but limited. The microphones are external of good quality and are used for background or voice depending on the situation.

Being what it is the system is very transportable and if desired you can transform from video to stills and shoot images at high resolution and then switch back again as needed. If a more involved shoot is required beyond this system then Alternative Images can provide more comprehensive camera equipment and editing services. But this is available at high quality for the smaller budget.

This video was produced and donated to the Rickmansworth Waterways Trust by Alternative Images in support of the work they do. Shot on DSLR with 50mm lens and Mono Pod. Some shaky parts but ‘hay they have beer at canal festivals and I was in my own time’   Enjoy
