First feature film to be shot on a DSLR?

I'm glad you put that question mark on the end of the thread title, but it's a shame the people who wrote that other piece didn't question it.

It's not the first feature film to be shot on a DSLR, not by several years. Tim Burton's Corpse Bride was entirely shot with a Canon 1D Mk II and was released in 2005.
 
not to nit-pick but corpse bride was an animation (for some reason they aren't "feature films"- at least on my course they arent!) and it was done using stop-motion. So the camera took all the photos!

This is the first film to actually be "filmed" on a dslr!

god! i'm not making any friends by doing this am i :lol:

Actually I didn't think about it, it was just the way I wrote it :p I'd say it's a different kettle of fish to be honest with you and hyperbole aside, it is very exciting indeed.

I think if Canon or Nikon (more probably Red) develop more affordable bodies for independent film-makers to shoot on, it will be very interesting indeed (still no compensating for a decent script/decent direction/decent acting - of course).

I made a short film on digibeta recently and needed to use a pro-35 adapter with a nikon F-mount adapter and it was a right pain. Digitbeta deinterlaced does look alright but nowhere near as beautiful as some of the test footage I've seen on the HD stills body.

Trailer looks a bit like a Wes Anderson film though elements of his website look a little too 1994 for me. What's that about?!
