news.FIU.edu videographer featured on national filmmaking blog


By now, many of you have seen the outstanding videos created by our own Doug Garland. He is an FIU senior and liberal studies major. He works with the news.FIU.edu team helping us to tell the FIU story on film.

Garland has been behind some of the most viewed videos we have created, most recently a football video that has been a big hit.

What’s unique about Garland’s videos is that he chooses to create them using still cameras, rather than traditional video cameras. “The DSLR camera produces a film-like image with depth of field that a traditional video camera can’t,” he explains.

Garland was recently asked by DSLRNewshooter.com to write about his work. The website features filmmakers who use the latest digital single lens reflex cameras for news, documentary and factual shooting.
