What are you planning on using it for?

A very professional one for 70? That sounds amazing! Can you give me some more info? :)

Link is broken. EDIT: Take out the http:// and it works.

Wow, thanks for the amazing response! How powerful do the clamp lights have to be? And where is a good place to get them? And do you have any suggestions for hanging a paper lantern?

That was an amazing short. Wow. Didn't quite get understand it though. Care to explain? :P

I'm going to be shooting a web series very soon, and a large part of it takes place in an apartment. The only location that is readily available to use is quite small. I already purchased a wide angle lens for my camera because a wide shot is incredibly hard to get in the cramped quarters...

Shot some sparring at my Thai Boxing gym in Toronto yesterday. Whipped it together to some music and uploaded, to see how the footage looks on the interwebs. This camera is amazing. Only cost me 500 :) http://vimeo.com/19120453

I'm using a Canon HF21. I have manual exposure, shutter and aperture.

Hey guys! Just wanted to know what the best "neutral" settings are for allowing a flexible post production? Basically, I want to have as much flexibility with color correction as possible. Any tips?

I've chosen to the go the route of a Juicedlink adapter for my audio needs, and that means that the audio will be written into the video file in my camcorder. All this talk of audio mixing is making me think that I should separate the audio and video after I complete a 24p pulldown (PF24 </3)...

There's another alternative called VoltaicHD, which is like 5 times cheaper. Have you had any experiences with that? And aside from these, there's a little freeware program someone on another forum coded up, that apparently outperforms Neo Scene with pulldown removal. I understand the codec...

The Canon HFS21 shoots native 24p. I have the Canon HF21, a different version. There isn't much info about my camera on the net -- but it is the follow up to the Canon H20. As far as functionality goes, you can think of this camera as being identical to the H20, which does not shoot native 24p.

By NLE I assume you mean editing software? (Sorry, not in tune with complex PP lingo :P). I'm using Vegas Pro 8.0 to edit

I recently purchased a Canon HF21, and I am in serious need of a pulldown tutorial. I have found nothing useful. The expensive software (Neo Scene) does it quite easily -- but I'm not willing to shell out 100+ bucks just so I can get pulldown removal. Does anyone have experience with pulldown...

Cool stuff. Something no one else mentioned. CONTINUITY! It sort of killed the film for me. Camera is focused on the driver. Quick cut to passenger. Quick cut to driver. Driver's hands are now on a different part of the steering wheel.

You've definitely got the right idea. Story is king, as everyone on this board will tell you. If you have a good script, technical short comings will be a lot more forgivable. However, if we can't HEAR or SEE how great the script is, it's all moot, really. Can you "get by" using your laptop to...

The integrated mic definitely is not enough. This may seem like a cop-out post, but you really should've done a little more research before purchasing a camera. Film making is an expensive hobby, and unnecessary expenses carry a heavy burden. Unfortunately, cameras are one of the more expensive...

Well, the Sennheiser shotgun is on an unbalanced connection, so you won't be able to have it on a boom. So, if you want to make films, this mic will be useless. You can definitely use the lavalier mic for dialogue in your films, but why would you pay extra for a mic you don't need? Not sure how...

If you use it correctly, it'll make a WORLD OF A DIFFERENCE! I have the Audio Technica AT897. It's great. I love it. For that price range, you can also get the RODE NTG-2 (NOT the Videomic), or an Azden. As long as you have the mic on a boom, have it placed correctly to pick up your talent, it...

I think everything I wanted to say was mentioned. Except for the handling noise. You need a decent boompole, and sone cotton gloves. ASAP. The handling noise was insane.
