DSLR Filmschool is designed to be an organized, visually interactive learning center that makes it easy for users to quickly access the information they need without having to scour forums, blogs or YouTube for information.
“Over time we’ve personally recognized what a value it would be to consolidate the principles of cinematic video capture into digestible video curriculums, in one place. While there’s helpful information regarding video production on the web, there’s also lot of controversial information out there regarding best practices and it’s tedious to personally compare different video capture and editing methods by trial and error.
What we want to do with dslrfilmschool.net is create a website where people can come and, for example, type “Noise Reduction,” “Color Grading,” or “Canon 5D Setup” into a search bar, and find all the interactive content they need get going in any specific facet of film capture and editing.
We believe streamlining the learning process with visual instruction on-screen will help many people improve their videography or learn for the first time without intimidation. Learning any worthwhile craft is hard work. We’d like to take the complication, bookwork, and endless searching out of it.”
