    Dov S-S Simens 2-Day Film School

    Yeah, I already searched the old reviews. It seems about 50/50 split. People who know everything think it sucked and the newbies learned something from the guy. I guess I'll stick to the youtube show unless I find a deal on it.

    Dov S-S Simens 2-Day Film School

    It is tough to get any indepth reviews. The youtube videos look motivating and he touts that he has helped a lot of big names in Hollywood realize their dreams. The dvd set has 16 dvds for about $350-$400. Has anyone seen these or have an opinion on Dov S-S Simens? I was thinking about saving...

    Canon GL1

    I just bought a canon gl-1 not long ago. I probably paid a little more for mine, but it was advertised to be in mint condition and it looks it too. I t has been good for fooling around with a higher end camera and learning to use the manual settings. It was a tough decision. Its easy to get...

    Canon GL1 vs. The Elements

    Ebay has a rain-dust-snow cover for the camera, but it looks like a little plastic bag and they want $30 plus $20 s&h. I guess I'll keep a cheap, light poncho handy when I'm going out and about and just be careful that I have an expensive piece of machinery with me. I also saw a video for a...

    Canon GL1 vs. The Elements

    Yeah, I guess most people use their equipment in interior locations. I am planning to get a lot of footage outside. I don't plan to get it wet if I can help it, but the dust might be tough. Maybe I can tidy the woods up a bit before we go out :) I'm mostly worried about getting my lens dirty...

    Lighting Kit for First Short Film

    I decided not to go for the $180 kit, but they have been available with no bids the past few days. Sort of taking from Paul's idea, I broke the kit into pieces and looked for the best prices for each of them and found I could get a little better price. The only thing that might add up buying the...

    Canon GL1 vs. The Elements

    I'm planning on taking my Canon gl1 out next weekend and checking out all the features and stuff. I'm a little self-conscious about messing this thing up. I just got it and I'm trying to be careful with it starting off. If I get out in the woods or something and it starts raining. Do cameras...

    Canon gl1 Accessories

    Thanks for the products listing. Altough some of it is expensive, I see where the standard is that I want to eventually achieve. At least now I have seen some things that will work with my camera. One question I had about the Marantz PMD-661 you listed. Is this the item that would connect to the...

    Canon gl1 Accessories

    Thanks for the response. You seem to know your stuff. Well, I am trying to spend money wisely, but I want what I need to shoot in any indoor or outdoor situation. I will throw a number range out of $100-$250 for the sound, but I am patient enough to just save if I need more. I definitely want...

    Canon gl1 Accessories

    I recently upgraded from a panasonic dv53 to a canon gl1...big jump. I am just learning about this camera and I am trying to get all the things I might need for it. The first thing I noticed after using it for a while was that it's a heavy camera. Then I saw where they sell shoulder mounts. Now...

    Greetings from Virginia

    I have always been a fan of independent films and have finally decided that I am going to make one this summer. I figured it would be best to have a community of friends to be able to ask questions when I get confused. As I am going through the learning process, I would like to get into using...
