About

I set up this site to keep an overview on a very exciting development in cinematography: the convergence of digital SLR cameras and cinema-quality moving-image cameras into HD video capable digital SLR cameras, or in short: HDSLR cinema.

My background is in digital cinema, I’ve been working in this domain since 2006. I was very thrilled when I heard that the RED camera was being developed, and even more when Nikon, Canon and the others started putting HD video inside SLR cameras. I remember seeing Vincent Laforet’s “Reverie” (Oct 2008) and realizing the game had been changed.

My name is Peter Forret and you can contact me on peter@hdslr-cinema.com .

  • Hi!
    I love your blog.
    I recently directed a book trailer for my wife’s novel, YOU ARE NEXT, using my Canon 7D (except for two flashback shots that were shots on a toy Harinezumi camera).
    I would love it, if you would take a look.

    The vimeo link is:

    I hope you like it.
    Thanks again for your wonderful blog.

    Best,
    Oliver Lief
