Much can be said about the rise of the DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) Camera as a viable film making tool. This project helmed by Vincent Laforet & Canon shows how powerful this tool really is. Vincent Laforet became somewhat of a underground star of the DSLR film making world with his video commissioned by Canon to show what their DSLR's could do.
The idea behind "Beyond the Still" was to start a story with a short film and then get to pass the story on to film makers to tell the next chapter. Once the winner of the chapter was announced the competition was opened again and film makers were invited to continue the story using the last chapter's film as a point of reference.
The result is a short film in 8 chapter which makes surprisingly compelling viewing. Not only is the story a fun ride, but the films really show the versatility and ability of the DSLR as a quality film making tool.
Here are all the eight chapters of "Beyond the Still"
