    what is it like pursuing a career as a film director?

    If anyone says they are only into film making for the passion, they are most likely bending the truth. Sure, I love making films, and I'd be happy with making films for just enough to get by in life. But humans are naturally instinctive to survive, and money helps with survival, and also can...

    Ex1 Ex3 or HVX200?

    The EX3 stock lens is also much better with a naturally shallower DOF.

    Question Regarding CMOS

    I've actually never seen a camera listed with a 1/2.6" chip, but it's still technically bigger. To be completely honest, no it's not going to make enough of a difference in the long run. Your better off at this stage to spend it else where. If you were spending a couple grand on a camera, i'd...

    PS. Directorik is very well known on these boards and has proven his wisdom in this field of work, and thus does not need to attest to you.

    Ok. I'm sorry TheOpusFuller, but it seems like you are way to one-sided and very shitty about the way you disscuss opinions. I'm going to leave at that we agree to disagree.

    Ex1 Ex3 or HVX200?

    EX3 hands down. It's also nearly twice the cost. So consider that.

    what is it like pursuing a career as a film director?

    I'm sorry, but your argument is null. Just because you hate what you do, doesnt make you unsuccesfull... it makes you unhappy. Why put your heart and soul into something your not passionate about? What if he is passionate about making money? Try making a film when you make $30K a year... when...

    what is it like pursuing a career as a film director?

    For narritive, its either broadcast or hollywood. And they both involve knowing people. If you say that making $30,000 from a film that takes 6 months and goes straight to DvD or sold online, then that's a matter opinion of success.

    what is it like pursuing a career as a film director?

    Unfortunately your false. Have you not seen all those really bad hollywood movies with horrible stories? It's because knowing people in the industry and selling yourself (Or your crap) is what it's mostly about.

    what is it like pursuing a career as a film director?

    Haha. It wasn't really said. It was a story that was giving the example of how hard it is to become a director as a career.

    what is it like pursuing a career as a film director?

    To sum it up nice. There's a nice little quote on becoming a director. A proffessor asks his Freshman Film class to raise their hand if they want to become a Director. All 400 Students raise their hand. Proffesor: "Now everyone put your hands down except 1... and that's if your lucky."

    looking for the best camera for $5000

    I'd agree with Mike & Will about the HM100u. I'd also suggest maybe looking into the HVX200. It's better, but it's on the $5,000 line. If you can find a good deal on a used one, I'd suggest considering it.

    archived-videos "May 17th" - Full Film

    I respect anyone who tries to make a film. It's a very hard thing to do and takes many many years to become relitively 'good' at it. All I can say is to keep trying, and you'll get better.

    I'm going to have to agree wth Michael. Unfortunately, any film thats made is going to be compared to Hollywood. And something like yours is just so far off I can't even judge it. That's how it goes. Keep working at it.

    Just a simple question...

    Ouch.

    how much would a film cost to make

    Your going to need as much money as you can get. So get what you can, and do what you can with it.
