$30 over your budget? http://www.amazon.com/CyberpowerPC-Gamer-Ultra-GUA880-Desktop/dp/B0089KDCIU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374956693&sr=8-1&keywords=pc

Thanks for the advice! :) I'm writing the letters tomorrow, so I'll bear everything in mind.

I'm actually thinking of putting together a small reel of VFX and some shots I've done included with the e-mail. Might increase my chances. We'll see.

Thanks for the help everyone :) I'll talk to my careers advisor, as well as shoot some of the companies a few e-mails to see what they say, it's worth a shot I guess.

Does the fact that the majority of the work I will be doing will be unpaid have any effects on the employment regulations? Also, I saw an ad where someone in my city was interested in assembling a filmmaking crew unpaid and mainly for experience, would those regulations still apply? Thanks.

Yeah, I'd try to see if it I could turn up at weekends of possibly after school if it's nearby. I think some of the indie studios would be better for this. I'll definitely talk to my careers advisor when my school starts back. If a parent was on set with me at all times, would I still have to...

Hi, I'm saving up for a new editing PC and I'm nearly there! :) However, I'm going to need to pay around £150 or so for the monitor I want, which is going to take me a couple of more months to save up for. In the meantime however I intend to do some freelancing with video editing and visual...

I'm building myself an editing computer too at the moment. I'm on a <$1000 budget at the moment and after doing some research came up with this build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1cT0h I'd imagine it should handle all the Adobe products well, even when dealing with 4K files.

Never knew some of the movies on the list were made with such a tiny budget, especially paranormal activity. I'd be interesting to see how some of these films got distribution.
