Hmm, I'll have to look into that. I'm already a full time student.

What are the strengths of each of the following? Final Cut Pro Final Cut Express (a cheap verison of Pro) iMovie (a freebie) Adobe Premier I own a Mac. Does the Adobe program come in a Mac format? Currently, I am editing all my DV shorts on iMovie, then saving them as Quicktime files or...

Excellent! I loved it, that was quite a "first film" on "no budget". Excellent cinematography. A question: what equipment are you using? Any steadicams? Or just a camera and tripod? Also, what program did you use to edit it? Again, great job!

I'm looking at getting a camera of my own, and the Sony SCR-HC20 is looking mighty nice: it's cheap ($380 of eBay), it has a great user interface, and it takes very nice footage for its price. Plus, it's MiniDV. Does anyone have this camera? What do you think of it? I'd also like to get some...

Ha! No, it wasn't that kind of video, more like a lot of skits and messages from me and her friends. Thanks, everyone, for the warm welcome. Seth

Nice, quick, to-the point flick! One suggesstion, the first time the blonde waitress hits the rude male customer, the first "smack" sound comes a little too early. Other than that, I liked it! (This is my first post, by the way). :)
