I'm considering buying a DSLR camera. Right now all I have is an HVX. I wanted to spend no more than $500 and get something that comes with a standard 50mm lens for this price. Is this possible? And does anyone have any suggestions on what type I should get? So far I've been looking at the...

Looks good enough to work on one of my no budget movies!

For sure. I was trying to make a giallo style slasher. I'm glad it came off that way.

Pink in the front. Blue in the back. Next question.

Sounds like you are one of those people who talks about their passion, rather than doing something about it.

Here's a short teaser I made for my latest short film: House of the White Lotus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oARXcRFVCRo Check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks.

Saturday Night Fever 10/10 Everything you need to know in life can be learned from this movie.

You don't have to give him your entire budget. I wouldn't give mine out. But you could be courteous and give him rough percentages... like 30% to acting costs, 20% to equipment rental, 30% crew costs. Something along those lines. That way he feels like you aren't ignoring him, but you aren't...

What a childish comment... Just because there is nudity in a movie doesn't mean I'm directing porn. Go pick out some of your favorite movies and I bet that plenty of them have nudity at some point. So don't feed me that stupid "daughter or son" kinda line.

What is with all this "hell no" stuff. I have directed movies with full frontal nudity both male and female. It's all about finding the right person who is willing to do it, and when they get there to make them feel comfortable. Having crew members who are mature and of mixed sexes and ages...

what do you mean? like on the set or in post? lol

I'm looking to get a fluid head tripod that can support the weight of an Panasonic HVX with follow focus, depth of field adapter, and matte box. I have $300 to spend. Any suggestions? Thanks, Paul

Good idea with both the long extension cords and the baffles. I'll give both a try. Thanks Paul.

How can I effectively record sound if I'm shooting outside and have an external power generator to power my lights? I have a shotgun mic right now but I don't want to pic up the hum of the generator with my characters' dialogue.

I was thinking about improving my HVX with a couple additions. I use the camera solely for short films. I'm not very experienced when it comes to these types of add-ons and was hoping someone here could assist. I'm trying to find a follow focus and mattebox for under $500 for my camera. What...
