This allows the look of traditional cinema films with with the subject sharp but the background and foreground objects in very soft focus. To all those people who bought a DSLR that records video to use for a video camera. You should have waited.These are the cameras you really wanted. __________________________________________________

This is a low budget movie with Hollywood production values. Run time approx 30 min. This was shot with a DSLR and separate sound recorder. This is an excellent example of what can be done on a low or almost no budget. After watching this movie for a while you feel that you are watching a big budget Hollywood production. The cinematic quality is much the same as you could expect from the new generation of large single chip video cameras. I suspect DualEyes or PluralEyes was used in editing to sync the Audio recording to the video. Watch the movie in HD here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMy-6RtoOVU&hd=1 ______________________________________________ Introducing DualEyes
DSLR cameras that shoot video have taken the world by storm. Although the pictures are fantastic, it is hard to achieve the same level of quality for audio recorded onto the camera. The preferred solution is dual-system audio: capture sound on a separate recorder and substitute this for the camera audio in post-production.
DualEyes™ makes this complicated process a snap. It uses the same underlying technology as its big brother, PluralEyes®, to automatically sync and cut the audio recording into clips that match the video clips. Bring them into your favorite NLE and you’re ready to start editing with great audio quality. Because DualEyes is a standalone application, it can be used with any NLE software application, from consumer level to comprehensive professional production suites. A free 30 day trial of DualEyes can be downloaded from http://www.singularsoftware.com/dualeyes.html
