DOF - Depth of Field Effect With Video Cameras

Simple hack to get the depth of field effect. I know the guys that sell expensive lens rail systems for this will be very pissed off at me for this video tutorial, but too bad for them.

If your video camera has a good macro (super macro) like the Sanyo cameras have, you can get this effect without spending another penny on it.

@Greatmanbo When you walk back & forth to get focus.

Fascinating, KH! As a lifelong photographer with years of analogue film behind me, I know depth of field well, and I've written it off as undoable with these modern automated little cameras. I spent major bank on both my Canon camcorder and my digicam to GET the ability to control shutter, aperture, focus, and ultimately depth of field. I adore my HG-21, but you just screwed me out of a ton of bucks. LOL

(Not really, but those are some damn clean clips on that $100 toy. I'm impressed.)

@anmoose Thanks. I was amazed at what could be done with that camera too. I didn't even adjust any other settings (white balance, etc. Just automatic) I thought the only way to get the DOF effect was to buy a DSLR. Then I was playing around & figured out this trick. Saved myself some serious moola! I also see guys buying expensive lens contraptions on ebay to get DOF. Its a total waste of money.

Maximum respect!

Now I do enjoy watching KingHuman videos but let me point a few things out here. DSLR's are not purchased for the "Cinema Depth of Field Effect" they are purchased because of the video quality and grain usually they leave behind in video which is sparse to none consider you can control the amount of ISO, Exposure and Shutter Speed of the DSLR. That's why those cameras have such a high selling point because you need those features to create real cinematic looking videos on a professional level.

[KingHuman]

@elementrinity523 Oh, OK. Well, I see people on ebay buying these DOF add on gizmos that have a motorized lens that focuses on an inner ground glass screen and it has to be placed on a rail. Plus you have to shoot upside down, etc. The whole thing is a pain in the ass & expensive. Just thought I would try to save some of these people from some pain.

Cheers!
