How to learn DSLR filming ? : My favorite DSLR Filming Learning Resources

When I began my journey of learning to make DSLR films, I spent lot of time hunting for artilces, videos, books. There wasn't much available as it was quite a new wave. However still there were poineers talking about it. There were lot of blogs/vidoes that helped get foundation. Below I give some of the videos / books/ links that helped me :-

1.) Philip Bloom :-
Philip Bloom is one of the early adapters of DSLR and a poineer in the area. He has many videos on DSLR video. Going through these videos provide us with very good foundation. Explore :

2.) Youtube Tutorials by this Gentleman :- 

3.) Book : DSLR (Crafting Cinema Look) by Kurt Lancaster 
 
This is an excellent book for beginners , particularly because it is a nice collection of real time case studies and gives links to many good resoureces on internet. It also gives basics of cinematography (although very superficial) and various DSLR terms/functions. This is particularly good if you are a Canon 5D/7D user as it talks about them at a lot of place. Any canon user will find it quite useful while other DSLR maker will also learn a great deal.

However I would not recommend buying this if you want absolute value for your money. But if you have some budget to buy a book. Go ahead and buy...It'll certainly help.

Final Tips  :
At the end I'd just like to say that we cannot learn everything from one place or source. One has to read, see movies, meet people, make movies and do whatever is possible to learn about DSLR film making. For me the best way to learn has been by making movies and analyzing them "how could it have been better ? " and taking feedbacks from other people.
Spend a lot of time in understanding basic technology  - aperture, shutter speed, fps, ISO, Coloring, White balance, editing techniques...it all pays off !

Most importantly, put into use whatever you learn ASAP so that it imbibes into your mind's learning. Keep the learner in you alive and be observant ! Rest will just start falling in place !

Good luck ! :-)
