This could be fun!

It'll be an interesting movie. There's a lot of ground to cover in this one.

Well Mac OS X Panther was given the operating system of the year award or whatever that award was called. . . over ms XP. I'd go with Mac, because their stuff is solid. I have a mac, works fine. I've had a mac since 1992 and it still works, hasn't gotten a virus. Good times. I also really like...

I've been using Final Cut since version 2 came out, and I'm addicted. If you have a mac, I'd go with final cut, and dvd studio, compressor, motion, etc, all are integrated with eachother, it's a sweet deal.

Hooray! I've been waiting for something like this to happen.

Not sure about the DVCam playback, but the JVC SR-VS30U is a good miniDV/VHS combo. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=250896&is=REG It's not that cheap, but it gets the job done. Your other option would be to get a DV to analog converter, hook up an...

Hmm, well I'm from CA, and one of the cool things our california state university system does is put on a big summer arts program every summer. They're summer classes in the arts, they usually have a video session, animation, acting, writing, printmaking, etc, and they count as a class. . . if...

I don't trust MPEG2 for anything but final output, for technical reasons, consumer level DVCPRO HD will be a very nice thing, especially for all us Final Cut HD users!!! HD over Firewire, oh yeah.

Hmm, time to get a job then.

If you will be going to DVD with it, yeah it's worth it. If it's just going to DV, it would be a hastle. 23.98 is a supported framerate in both NTSC and PAL standards, which is awesome. but when you compress to MPEG2 just make sure it's set for 24P. If you use Compressor and use one of the built...

Ah yay. No you can't capture at 23.98, the dv is always 29.97, the only difference between 24P and the regular interlaced video we're all used to is the pulldown pattern. 24P and 60i record the same number of fields (in dv at least) Regular dv captures video with a pulldown of 3:2...

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to hear everyone's take on why they're into filmmaking, what they love about it. What draws you to this medium as opposed to other creative mediums?

DVD Studio Pro 3! It can do anything and everything. And it's not too expensive either.

So true.

Yeah If you can get 3chips your good.

I've got a vx2100. It's great. I've never used a GL2, but have used a GL1 if they're comparable. Colors on the vx2100 are very rich, compared to the GL1 was dry and grainy. The only thing I like about the GL cameras is the frame mode, but other than that I would say if you can go for the Sony.

If you're still looking around, CSU Northridge has a great screenwriting program, as well as a nice film program. I'm currenty attending CSUN, it's a good school.

The film school at Chapman is very good, pretty competitive too.

I can't speak for the PC people, but if you have some sort of access to Apple's CineTools, that would do it. It would convert your footage into true 24fps (23.98 actually) Well there are two 24P modes, the basic one is just a 2:3 pulldown I believe.. . (regular DV is 3:2). The advanced is a...

Hey I was wondering if there are any other marching band video geeks here, and I mean geek it a good way of course. Cause I'm a bando and was thinking of doing a bunch of videos revolving around marching band. . . yeah. . . and it would be super cool to do with with other bandos who are also...
