    What 1st affordable mic for XL2?

    I need an affordable mic and boom rig I can plug right into my XL2 for making short clips of decent quality. Can you experienced guys get me on track on this? I could spend up to a few hundred if necessary, but cheaper is preferred. Thanks.

    archived-videos Action Showreel From My Film Group

    I am not qualified to have an opinion on the quality of the filming technicalities. I am a martial arts guy though and the techniques thrown were very obviously not thrown to connect. I know folks don't really get decked in films on purpose, but the camera normally pulls off the illusion of...

    Grifters, sharps and cons

    I am astonished that you are surprised. Think how dumb the average person seems to be. Now, consider that half the population is even dumber than that! And before I get beat up,I do know the average and the mean aren't the same. Carlin said it, not me.

    Bags to Carry Gear

    I.am a fan of the Pelican hard cases with pluckable foam for delicate gear. I have one for my camera but am a super newb to.filming. I have used them for years for storing and hauling my gemology microscope and instruments as a profession...and none of that stuff is cheap!

    Ask permissioon before or after?

    I think you need to be up front about what you are doing with the owner. I'd hate to think that I may need to ask that very same guy for permission to shoot something and then have him refuse as he tells me all about how the last film guy proved just how untrustworthy we are as a group.

    Total newbie with Canon XL2 on the way...

    Right. I commited to the xl2 purchase before finding this forum after doing much web research(seemingly looking at somewhat dated reviews in hindsight). I now have that camera to work with so I came here to ask why it was never mentioned here but was highly talked up elsewhere. I also was...

    Reality Taxi Show Idea

    To air people's dirty laundry live without their consent will get you sued in all probability and perhaps even earn a beatdown from angry passengers. I think your course of action is unwise.

    Thanks for the insightful input. I guess it's up to me then...and that is how I like it. Success or failure is mine to earn. That sets my mind at ease. I am sure I will be asking many dumb questions in the near future, but I will at least try the search function before doing so. Thanks.

    Total newbie with Canon XL2 on the way...

    In the short term, I want to develop my skills by doing via short video clips. These will be 2-5 minute clips and will be put on youtube for input. I think most will initially be comedic suspense. My ultimate goal is to perfect my craft and make exceptional, commercially marketable films that...

    Total newbie with Canon XL2 on the way...

    Hi all. I am a complete newbie to any type of videography apart from playing with a sony handycam. I have become surprisingly (to me) passionate about getting ideas and stories on video to be shared with others. I've spent time researching good entry level cameras on the web (Didn't find this...
