World’s First HDR Video Makes Me Weep At Its Beauty [Photography]

We’re big fans of HDR photography , and now that the iPhone 4 shoots HDR , we’re going to be seeing so much more vibrant images. Something to search even more forward to is HDR video .

This example from Soviet Montage Productions was shot using two Canon EOS 5D Mark II DSLRs, chosen because ” they’re just fantastic cameras which might be affordable and within sight of even one of the most modestly funded filmmaker,” consistent with Michael Safai from the film production company.

While they haven’t revealed yet just how they managed to layer two identical images perfectly, we do know that they used a beam splitter and the two DSLRs with varying exposures-one overexposed, and the alternative underexposed. There was no question many post-production processing tools were used here, but until Soviet Montage lets us in on their little secret, we’ll just come back to writing begging letters to Canon to include a HDR video setting in its cameras.
