Many of ourreaders are drawn to the creative possibilitiesoffered by video, but it’s a subject too vast forAP to do justice to in just a few pages permonth so we decided to build a new websitededicated purely to the art of ﬁlmmaking usingDSLRs and CSCs. Launched this week,TheVideo Modefeatures a mix of video-relatednews, gear reviews, technique articles andvideos on all aspects of ﬁlmmaking, as well asproﬁles on interesting videographers and theirwork.
