Premiere Elements 10 should be able to had for about $40-$50, Premiere Elements 11 for $75. I'd spend a few extra bucks and get PE11. I'm currently using Premiere Elements 10, and it works fine for simple work. There's not much of a difference content wise, but the layout has been revamped...

I'd take a D5100 over the D3200(D3200 doesn't have a flip out screen). I personally own the D5100, love it for photography and I really haven't done any serious video or film work with it yet. I had an XTi, have used my friend's XS, and played with t2i's and t3i's at the store before, and I...

GoPro Hero 3 (preferably Black Edition) would suit your needs best if it's just going on Youtube.

I can't really give any input on the sensor size and how it will actually affect anything. But, I can give a little input on the audio. External. The best way to capture sound is by getting the mic off the camera, and onto a boom going to it's own recorder.

I'd go with the NX5U, and put the $2k you'd be saving towards quality audio equipment. The NX5U will get the job done for a short or low budget feature. Audio is very very important to bringing everything together when you're making a short or low budget feature.

I had a Tamron 70-300 for my Sony. Sold it with the camera. Picked up another for my Nikon. For the price, I think it's great. As long as you don't go past like 290mm, you shouldn't lose any sharpness.

Check out this video. They have lots of other great DIY stuff too. I definitely plan on making some of their stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR_-R2bS9ag

I'd stay away from any Go Pro for your sole camera. They're awesome for putting them where you can't put a normal camera. But, for just over $200 for the camera I'd look at the Canon HF R300.

I believe they have the same senor, so the video quality would be the same. The 60D has the flip out screen, and the 7D doesn't. I don't see why you'd wanna give that up. Unless you plan on shooting in the rain the remainder of the shoots, I wouldn't switch.

My 32gb PNY gives me issues too.

I've read in a few places that with certain effects applied and three way color correction, you can make a lit scene seem like it's dark. But, not one of those sources gave even a rough idea of how to do it. If anyone can give me the gist of doing this, I'd greatly appreciate it. Seeing as...

I'm gonna call complete BS on the mic being good. Please put up a clip of something recorded with it. Your idea of good is really most likely mediocre at best. If it some how does decent, then I'll retract this statement.

A much needed aesthetic change has been made on my project. Now just to make a little video. From this: To this:

I just added the mid length synopsis. That's something I'd like to do, if I can find time. Between school and work, I have only an hour or two of free time most days. I'd also like to recreate the project image when I get the time. Thanks for the insight.

I've finally started my Kickstarter for my first film. I'm only looking for $500. So, check it out if you'd like. Who's There?

Newer doesn't mean better. It's more about the actual series of card i.e. Nvidia: 5xx, 4xx, 6xx Radeon 6xxx, 7xxx. The older GTX480 was top of the line 2 or 3 years ago, and it's still a great card that's better than the 560 Ti. For example, the Radeon 6850 is better than the Radeon 7770...

The video card will be what determines how many/big the monitor(s) can be. That card should be enough to run both monitors smoothly. My GTX 480(slightly better than the 560 Ti) and i5-3570k almost instantly renders and has smooth playback in Premiere Elements 10. That's with a single 20"...

Are you planning on running single or dual monitors?

I think I'm going to go with the Rode VideoMic. I heard a sound test with the VideoMic into the H1, and it sounded great to me. Plus, I like that it's mountable on the dslr. That will come in handy for me when I'm out at the motocross track. B&H has a deal on the VideoMic with a boom and...

Thanks for the abundance of information. My first short is going to be only indoors, but I know some in the future will be outside. Almost everything I've read says that hypercardioid mics tend to pic up too much background noise outside. Which is why I was trying to stay away from one. I'm...
