In the fall of 2008 Vincent Laforet was the first one to use the Canon EOS 5D Mark II which was the first digital SLR capable of recording full HD video. The short film he shot mostly at night, called "Reverie", become popular over night. Something that Canon never intended got more and more in focus of amateur filmmakers all over the world: Shooting films and commercials with a stills camera. It only took a few month and the first accessories were released. Since then a lot has happened and a lot of TV shows like "House MD" or "CSI Miami" used DSLRs on set. Philip Bloom, another pioneer in digital filmmaking, used cameras on the Lucas Film production "Red Tails".
