Here are some hints on mine - independent film, premiered at a Cannes film festival.

going to sleep, will write more tomorrow...

Of course a lot of it was out of focus and had color/exposure issues, but I attribute that to the low end camera. Being able to tell a story is much more important to me,especially when dealing with limited gear. Anyone with money can buy a high end camera, anyone can learn the technical stuff...

I thought it was great especially considering the gear you were working with. I like how the music was mixed with the camera audio in the beginning with the car door, rolling up your sleeves, etc. I liked most of the camera work too, how you transitioned, camera angles, telling the story...

also, if you decide you need dedicated audio editing software "reaper" is an awesome deal and a great piece of software too. you don't even have to pay for it if you're willing to put up with a 20 second delay when you start it up after the trial expires. if you buy the license it is...

nope, not spielberg. this guy only made 4 movies but he won several awards.

nope, nickclapper was right... ."let the right one in"

Yes sir.

I'll go:

Wow, that's really impressive. How long did the various phases - pre, prod, post - take? What was your budget? How many people were in your crew? What video/audio gear did you use? How many shorts have you made? How long have you been doing it? Thanks!!!

I would check out the CHDK firmware. It enables a ton of features that are already in the chipsets of the powershots but that are disabled for marketing/product management reasons. It's free and I expect it will extend the useful life of your SX20. If nothing else you'll get lots of cool...
