Thanks for the info everyone. So a steadicam is what I need. Perfect.

I'm curious as to how something like THIS would be done. Was it just one guy holding a camera following the action? At one point the camera goes up pretty high. The whole thing seemed quite smooth, too. If someone was holding the camera wouldn't it be a bit shaky? Any tips or tuts would be great.

When actually looking at cameras I look for what you said, but a lot of stuff I'm not even sure of. Basically I need a camera that shoots in HD (60i, which is 1080 at 30fps, yes?) and the features wheat mentioned. Suggestions would be great.

Would a camera like this work? I really don't know what precisely to look for when searching. Help me out here, I'm a noob.

Whatgrinder, that was an awesome video test for the whole slow motion thing. Exactly what I like to see. Do you have any camera suggestions that allow me to be able to do that? (Probably a stupid question, but;) The slow mo was done in editing, correct?

I asked the guy who made the movie. He said that the last part he used squibs. He said that I should get an HD camera that shoots in 60fps so I'd have no choppy framerate when slowing it down to something like 24fps.

Just so long as it gives that look that there was a bullet impact. When I say 'pop' I don't mean the sound effect, but the look.

Well I certainly do plan to do the slow motion in post production. Reason I asked about the camera was so that when I do make it in slow motion in post production, the framerate wouldn't be choppy, etc. I contacted a friend of mine who knows a thing or two about these sort of FX. He operates an...

Thanks for the reply guys. Reason I asked about a nice camera was because I didn't want the slow motion to be ruined during editing (which wheatgrinder kindly cleared up for me). So in terms of squibs... what would be a good step by step process I'd have to take to get/use them? How much are...

Hi, I'm quite new to film making. I am very interested in filming short 'action' skits / scenes. That being said, I'd need things like squibs, blow back guns, and the like. Slow motion sequences is something I've always been fascinated with too, so that leads me to believe I'd need a high speed...
