If you are putting a new camera on the market these days, you better include the capability to shoot HD video. Most of the consumer/prosumer digital SLR cameras have the feature to shoot video now, but I was always curious as to what you could actually create while shooting with a digital SLR with a range of lenses. Well Pentax has done that using the K-7, and the DA 10-17mm fisheye, DA* 16-50mm and DA* 60-250mm lenses. The results are really very impressive. Watch them after the jump!
The first of the two films is called Uncle Jack by Jamin Winins. A creative and entertaining short film.
Get ready for a wild ride with UNCLE JACK in this nocturnal odyssey of a desperate fugitive. A mad clown, magic pills, a bedtime story and more add up for a fast-paced, riotous adventure. Cheer for a troubled character with a big heart in this short film shot in Denver, Colorado entirely at night with the PENTAX K-7 and the DA 10-17mm, DA* 16-50mm, and DA* 60-250mm lenses.
The second video is called the Rider and is about a snowboarder being a bum up in the mountains. I didn’t like the content of this one as much, but it is still a proof that you can shoot a movie on a digital SLR. Oh and as for the “ketchup/mayo” tomato soup, totally been there and done that but usually with a couple sides of relish packet.
Cool stuff. I am interested to see what else you can create with your Pentax DSLR.
