Heather & Matt - Same Day Edit - Oquirrh Mountain Temple

Heather & Matt - June 24 2010 - Oquirrh Mountain Temple from Dathan Hight on Vimeo.

 

This week was a week of firsts... This was my first time shooting at the Oquirrh Temple, as well as my first time shooting completely on the Canon 7D for a wedding and my first official same day edit off the 7D.

One of the latest trends in wedding, event and short film production is the use of HDSLR cameras (like the Canon 7D, 5D, T2I, Etc).  The cameras have large sensors and allow the use of different lenses.  These features combine to produce fantastic, film like images and allow a videographer much more visual control.

But nothing in this world is free...  These cameras have steep learning curves and are not without limits.  But it's in the limitations where I find the real beauty of these cameras because they force a film maker to learn the fundamentals of the trade.  It makes us all become better videographers.
