Yeah, I know the feeling all too well. But even the Nikes will give you the same message: Just do it. :P That is, learning with what you've got. First of all, you may want to wait for what the others have to say about this. Some may just have a point of view that's totally different from mine...

Hi Sam. First of all, I'm not an "accomplished" filmmaker or anything, but that doesn't mean I can't help of course. :) The rule of thumb is: Work with what you have. It's not because you don't have a RED cam that you can't have fun in the meantime. More importantly, you can still learn mostly...

Hi! I own a 550D, and I absolutely love it. I did my research before I bought it though. If you think you can live with the specific cons of DSLR video, then I would recommend the cam. I'm sure you've already done some research, but I think the following can be useful nonetheless...

<arty>Oh noez, Alcove! You must keep your recordings pure! All the real artistes have already thrown their compressors and limiters out of the window!</farty> ;) Seriously though, that was a great read. Thank you.

And by building your own pc from scratch, you get to know about what's actually in your computer. So indeed, we have no idea what we're talking about. In all honesty though, if you're collaborating with other mac users, then it might not be a bad idea to consider getting a mac yourself...

Pardon me for asking, but I feel I have to. Why a mac? If you've already decided you definitely want a mac for some reason, then I'll rest my case and leave it up to the mac gurus here to answer your question. If not, I highly recommend building a computer yourself, choosing every part...

Your blend of darkness, surrealism and humor reminds me of David Lynch. Really really love it!

Awesome color grading, cool locations, great use of sound. Wow! I'm not sure if I truly "get" it (the narrative), but that didn't stop me from really enjoying this.

Great, great visuals, if I may say so. I guess those camera movements took a lot of planning. Also, your DIY shoulder rig looks pretty impressive! :)

Hi Mike! I'll watch your work in a minute. Nice to see there's filmmakers in the vicinity. Well, somewhat in the vicinity, I live in Antwerp. Dus als je eens hulp kan gebruiken bij één van je projecten, dan zeg je het maar. :) Right now, I would call myself pretty proficient in music...

Good point about the collaboration thing. It just seems like you're kind of alone in your endeavours sometimes. I wouldn't know what I'd like the least in the entire process. It ALL seems like tons of fun to me :). But yeah, finding people with lighting equipment/exp or field audio recording...

Thank you very much! Perfect Newbie... has a nice ring to it. :P A pleasant thought, also! But yes, I've done a lot of research. I love doing that, actually, if the subject matter interests me a lot. I chose the DSLR way after reading some stuff about it. A free DSLR-guide I got from...

Hello fellow movie lovers! My name is Dimitry. You may call me Dimi if you like. I live in Antwerp, Belgium, where we speak Dutch. In fact, most Belgians speak Dutch, not French. =) Okay, that aside, I'm 27 years old, I have a lot of "home studio" experience (read: ten years of goofing around...
