EOS Rebel T3i: Using A SLR To Film A Movie

Posted by: the screenwriting mofo on Monday, April 25th, 2011

Recently I saw on Twitter that Edward Burns was filming a movie using a Canon SLR digital camera. He was using the Canon EOS 5D. Personally, I think the 5D is a bit expensive to use to film your own movie. Especially when you can get a digital SLR that is almost as good as the 5D for under $1,000 – the Canon EOS Rebel T3i.

Both cameras shoot in HD video. My question is thus, have any of you used a SLR digital camera to shoot your own movie? If so, how was the experience? Was the quality what you hoped for? If you have never used a SLR to film a movie – would you? Supposedly Burns filmed an entire feature with all Canon 5Ds recently. Certainly makes movie making more accessible to all of us.

More on the EOS Rebel T3i can be found at: Canon EOS Rebel T3i and EOS Rebel T3i Review
