Looks like I just found my new hero.

How does the T3i compare to the GH2?

And did they become successful by learning what others know and implementing that knowledge or did they just wing it the entire way and ignore everything everyone else knew and said and became successful irrespective of their lack of knowledge and experience?

Then why even bother with film schools or art schools? If art is subjective, then why bother learning how to do it? There's nothing worth teaching since nobody needs to learn anything in order to make a good film.

Grain of salt and all that but personally I'd be thankful just to be part of a production. Volunteering doesn't give you any special rights on a set, or anywhere else. You've agreed to do a job pro bono so the voluntary aspect shouldn't factor into anything. And even if you were a paid...

Wow, thanks. That list certainly looks daunting though for someone who hasn't even started on the journey. Also expensive. Making movies is expensive. Maybe I should look into prostitution as a means to finance my learning curve.

Was hoping to get some recommendations on books to read on the very, very, very basics of things like lenses, mics, lighting, sound, etc. Books for a complete noob who wants to jump into the deep end and learn by doing but needs at least something to help them recognise their mistakes and...

And who are these people? The masses? Or are they people who know what they're talking about? And if they know what they're talking about, what exactly is it that they 'know'? I think you're breaking it down too far. Dissonance, for example, would qualify as bad music wouldn't it? Flashbacks...

Can we be friends?

I think this comes back to the "gotta know the rules in order to know how to break them" philosophy. So it's not that someone is doing something radically different so much as it is someone who knows what's commonly accepted as 'good', who understands the artistic principles behind those...

I'd rather surprise people with my usefulness and the only way to do that is to start from a very low baseline.

Lol. If you ever have the misfortune of getting to know me, you'll find out why your statement is so hilarious.

I have no experience. I have no skills. I'm not very bright. I'm not very strong. I have no transport. Use me as you see fit. Door holder. Coffee tester. Footstool. I just want to learn. I don't even need to be taught. That would require effort and I don't want to appear needy. Being involved...

The Last Stand Meh. Predictable, stupid, shallow, nonsensical... it's OK for a bit of mindless entertainment but even then I was kinda bored by the end of it. If Arnie hadn't of backed the shit out of it, it would've been direct to DVD, if it was made at all. 2/5

I have this argument a lot. I feel that you can like whatever you want, but liking it doesn't make it good or bad. What makes a movie good or bad is determined by a set of commonly understood artistic principles. Yes, movies that distort or manipulate these principles can be good and to be...

It should have ended at one. Then again, we never would've gotten three and I liked that. But two, four and five... were all complete shit. If they make a sixth, then it should be called, "Die Hard: Kevorkian's Revenge"

Oh. An internet meme. Yay. Why do people post inane responses like this? Is a discussion forum not a place for discussion? Why is it that Google trumps every other source or method of information gathering? How does one vet the information gained through Google? Google? I find it incredibly...

I'm sure that means something to someone but it's just gibberish to me.

Fair enough. Like I said, my main interest was the low price. I guess a second-hand GH2 is still the cheapest entry point for anything remotely viable. Just wish I could get my feet wet and see if this is something I want to spend every spare dime on before I actually spend every spare dime.

Looking for some opinions on this camera as an all-in-one PRE-entry-level audio/video capture device. I realise that it's marketed as an attachable camera but it's also touted as having high quality options across the board. Since I know virtually nothing about any of it I'd like to hear what...
