Better Dslr Video Tip - Lower aperture

Today I want to show you the value of using faster lenses with your DSLR especially when shooting video to do this i'm going to compare the canon kit lens to the 50mm f1.8 the american adventure brought to you by the Jeep corporation it takes guts to go where no one else goes I used a DSLR for years without grasping the value of buying and using lenses with the wider aperture like a lot of people I imagine, I limited myself to lenses that came with my DSLR and i had a very hard time getting images and video that were properly exposed without cranking up the ISO very high. To demonstrate the difference that the aperture size has on the amount of light coming into the camera i had videoed the same scene with all things constantly using the two different lenses only changing the aperture each case. As you can tell increasing the aperture which is lowering the F Stop number allows you to video in lower light situations using a lens at a lower f stop not only allows you to fill in the lower light situations but it also has a side effect of giving you shallower depth of field which can be a pretty cool thing
