Is this actually filmed with SD quality, and rendered out as HD? kinda looks like it is, but sick anyway!

What exactly does a 35mm or 30mm adapter do?

a 35mm adapter allows you to put 35mm lenses (nikon, canon, minolta, pentax, ect) on a video camera. which makes it so you can have shallow DOF like you would on a slr camera.

a vibrating adapter has a motor in it which vibrates the focusing screen. by doing the the amoint of grain gets reduced because there ground glass is always moviing. in a static adapter there is no motor so the screen will be the same the entire time. a lot of people prefer a vibrating one because they do not like the grain, but some might prefer a static because the grain can look kinda artsy
