There is a an exciting movement in the world of indie and professional film and television that completely changes the landscape for small and indie producers; cinematographers are choosing HDSLR picture cameras to shoot their productions.

Yes, you read correctly – using a picture camera to shoot movies.

The above video shows a cinematographer who shoots CSI Miami on a Canon 7D – a camera which will run you a little under $2000, with lens. A show like CSI Miami can afford almost any camera and the fact that a high budget show chooses a camera like this shows that they are more than capable of making a AAA image. And he’s not alone in Hollywood, the Canon 5D was used on the season finale of House.

The quality of image is nothing short of stunning and it makes independent film making more affordable than ever before.

Brilliant! Time to make a film.

Chris Anderson’s “Next Industrial Revolution” article in Wired a few month’s ago is something that anyone who simply wants to CREATE should read. It’s inspiring, incredible and it’s happening right now. This video is like a highlight reel:

The single greatest thing about the techno-creative world that we live in – is that the only major barrier stopping anyone from creating and sharing is action.

Have you always wanted to make a book – an insane book, 300 full color pages of the photo’s from your childhood?

What if you wanted to make a font, out of your handwriting?

Or if you wanted to make custom pieces for your action figures?

Or are you crazy enough to make your own car?

The previously closed-off world of manufacturing, distribution and creation are available to almost anyone and are becoming more open each and every day.

Do you have a dream to create something?

What’s stopping you?
