I'm guessing to get into documentary making you will need something to prove your worth to show to any production company that might be interested in a documentary you have in mind. So my advice is to get a camera and a friend who's also passionate about your chosen subject, and then make a low...

Hey guys, thanks for the advice. I've been researching cameras for the last few months. I have very little money left after paying my rent and bills so I'm on a very low/tight budget. Bad credit, so no cards or loans. I've decided not to go HD despite the amazing examples out there for the HV...

Nevermind let it go. Can anyone recommend a low budget camera with a mic input and manual zoom/focus/exposure?

NV-GS400 3CCD going for 250 English Pounds on Ebay. 35mins left on auction. Is that a good price for this camera? Much appreciated.

Check out writing movies by the gotham writers project - awesome book!

First of all, not all minidv is cheap looking. That's not correct. It depends on the person behind the camera as much as the camera. The XL1 is a broadcast quality camera and i wouldnt be surprised if those shows used one. The best format for anyone is the one they can afford. To be honest...

That might work(!) :D

That is excellent. Very well written. I'd be tempted to keep it for myself. You know normally, I'd have quite a few criticisms and a list of mistakes. It's faultless. Don't touch it.

Are you saying you're a character without a story? Or are you debating what I said? I guess you could try and have a character without a story, but any character with any depth will eventually reveal a story of some form. So if your character doesn't reveal a story, it's a bad character...

Dude are you high? I made two posts completely void of weed... Interesting post you have there. Except you're wrong. Nobody is making you do anything. You want to travel around the world with nothing but a rucksack and a sleeping bag? Do it. Nobody is stopping you. Who do you feel is...

I'm actually impressed by what i've read here. I mean, it's sad when you think about it. But then you think about it some more, and it's not as sad as you first thought. It has its merits. As you said, the dedication is applaudable.

I would like to add something constructive. If you want to make films, learn the art of storytelling inside-out.

Someone lend me £7,000. Guaranteed profit back in two years.

I wonder, if Scorsese and Coppola had the internet before they became film-makers, would they have become film-makers at all? Or would they have just joined a forum and talked about it, but not actually done it? It's fun to think on. This is not a dig at the OP or anything, just an...

Search ebay for MiniDV cameras, go from there. Lots to choose from. Canons are good.

Awesome post and explanation. Thanks alot. :) I have to get to sleep, i'm up early and heading for Newcastle tomorrow for a concert, so I'll comment on this fully when I get back home on Wednesday! I've written a few sequences myself that could probably be improved with your methods.

It seems to me the Crip walking by at the end is like an insight into Leons past, where he's come from. If you ask me, Leon DOES change, because he sticks his finger up at the Crip, ultimately turning his back on his past. It's quite symbolic, if people would look past the described action.

I don't see why not here, it's your thread :yes: Ah. hand writing, there's a blast from the past! Reminds me of how much I want an old type writer.

Hey man, that was actually pretty awesome. Good photography, good editing, good music, all worked together to create a cool but tense atmosphere. Really well done. As a writer, I'd really love to see the script, and how the actions/descriptions were written...

I am. London approx.
