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.
