In short however, there really aren't any good tools that will enable you to shoot video and stills at the same time. Unfortunately in most cases the quality of one or the other suffers to much to make technigues like setting the cameras on a rail or dual tripods effective. The only possible option would be to buy a video camera of such high resolution that great still photos can be taken from a single frame of the video. There is such a camera on the market, but it is very very expensive. You can check them out at red.com, but they are system cameras, so by the time you add on all the little bits you need to make it work you will be lucky if it comes in under $100,000 Not only that but they aren't exactly user friendly devices. You want to be sure that you know your way around a broadcast video camera before you order one - I am not sure now but the waiting list used to be over 12 months long.
Hello! How might I start it's own thread?

Thanks!
