Once I had all my components, it took me like 45 minutes to actually get it all together. Which turned into like 4 hours of work due to a bad mobo. So, stay away from Gigabyte. Although, they sent me a brand new one as a replacement instead of repairing mine. 240GB is more than enough for...

I'm getting ready to take the plunge, and film my first short. I already have the camera(D5100), and I'll be picking up a new tripod(I only have a crappy one for photography). So, that leaves me with audio and lighting to worry about. Right now, I'm tackling the aspect of audio. I was, kind...

Go with the t3i and save a little money. The 60d and t3i have the same sensor. For video, they're pretty much neck and neck.

Color correction is post.

I decided to try and see how syncing the audio was, rather than just chatting about it. I used my D5100 for the video, and a spare camcorder I had to act as a mic, and a monopod as the boom. I know the audio quality isn't great, but I made do with what I had to work with. My bird decided to...

I understand, that makes sense. I really appreciate all the help. There's so much to learn.

Are regular over ear headphones what I should get, or should I stick with just on ear?

I'm trying to get off to a semi-solid start and not cheap out completely. Once I actually come up with a short screenplay, that I feel has potential, I plan on doing some crowdfunding. If it goes better than whatever I set my goal as, I may very well put the extra money towards better sound...

No advice(I've never even made a short), but I sent a little cash your way. Good luck.

Fantastic post, that was really informative. I'll definitely check out some videos. I always love learning new stuff, and getting different takes from different people. Thanks a lot for that recommendation, I'll see about ordering it when it comes out on the 1st.

I'm trying to grasp everything I need to know about recording audio. I have a grasp on some basics, but I've still got questions. If someone could point me towards a tutorial or something that covers all the basics, that'd be great. I'm going to be using a Nikon D5100. I'm currently...

Awesome tutorial for a noob like me, even though I don't have AE. I can still put the basic principle to use in Premiere Elements.

Like he said; build quality and image quality are better. But, it depends on what size lens you're wanting. If you are looking at telephoto, then the L is worth it. If not, then it's not that big of a deal.

Dirty Deeds - 3/10 It was supposed to be a comedy, the description made it sound like it'd be funny. I don't know if I produced an audible laugh for more than 2 seconds, though. The plot was good, but it just wasn't funny. On top of it not being funny, the audio sync was so bad. 80% of the...

Please take this, and use this for the cover picture. I took a measley 15 minutes of my time to come up with that idea and throw it together. If you'd like, I can steal somebody's picture of a wasp from a Google image search. If you want me to fix the grammar, please don't hesitate to ask...

The Rode Video Mic was the original mic I looked into, but couldn't justify spending that much right now. I'm hoping for a decent(for me) pay check on the 22nd, and I've got something I'm trying to sell that should put $475 in my pocket. After all that, it might be in my budget.

I'm really just looking for an improvement over the in camera mic. I'm just doing filmmaking as a hobby. It's not something I'm persuing as a career. I may or may not start making shorts to enter into film festivals.

Plastic water bottle with a hole in the lid.

I'm looking to pick up an external mic for my Nikon D5100. I've narrowed it down to the Pro-24CM and the ECZ-990. Both are about the same price $60 and $69. Both have the same review rating. Almost nothing, except their physical aspects sets them apart from what I can see. From what I can...

How would one go about networking to find fellow filmmakers in the area to befriend? Is there a site or anything for that? Of course, a hard work never hurts and can go a long way.
