    Entry level DSLR + lens(es) for ~$1000

    I have a 650D and wish I had went with the 600D. They are finally getting Magic Lantern worked out for the 650D, but are still debugging. Check Amazon for the 600 or the 650. Sometimes their system drops the price real low for a few hours, so check often.

    How should I write this court scenario?

    I think go with good cop bad cop. If one does not believe her story or believes the whole thing is a publicity stunt it might work. Or the bad cop is in on the kidnapping. The media can eat her up if they believe it is a publicity stunt or she is accusing someone who is publicly loved. Just...

    Which Canon?

    I don't know if it has been said but the T4i is lacking on Magic Lantern until it gets a firmware up date to work with. The T3i is a good choice. I would have bought that but went with the T4i (same price on T-day) just for the resale value. I am willing to wait for the ML.

    Portastudio question.

    I have been see tons of portastudios on craigslist and pawnshops. I believe from would be rockstars that need beer money. Sooo I figure they might be great for a wouldbe filmmaker. I am planning on going with wireless lavs for sound so is this an option. I mostly see older Tascam DP01s, can...

    Camera recommendation for startup studio

    Go with the T4i for portraits. It has a better auto focus system and touch screen. From what I understand the auto focus system comes in handy on short depth of field shots. If you watch Amazon you can pick up the the T4i for the price of a T3i.

    One bad thing about the T4i is the Magic Lantern Hack is not there yet for it.

    What gives you inspiration to write?

    Ahhhhhhhhh one of those "I gotta be the cliche" writers. You should get some books on writing by some authors you like. I will summarize what most say. Quite being a pussy and write. Waiting for your muse is like a 15 year old locked up in his room all day reading porn crying about not getting...

    What gives you inspiration to write?

    How do you die for your art if you are a writer in the US? Go to China or Iran and talk about dying for your art. If your in it for the art why are you trying to sell it? I write or try to write because I want to to tell the stories I have in my head. If I can pay the bills that way at some...

    I don't know how good the deal was but I ended up pulling the trigger on a T4i w/18-55 through Amazon for 599.

    Which Canon?

    Same end result, he is telling a story using tools (DP, Light Guy, ect). What I am saying is the story is what is important. If someone uses auto focus to tell a story, and tells it well more power to him/her. At some point people were saying the same about filming with digital over film or a...

    Which Canon?

    So those big budget guys who pay someone to focus their cameras are not real filmmakers? It's all about the story and how it is received not how it is made.

    Camera or Car??

    Can you make the money with the camera you have? Buy whatever tool has the most potential for making money. Is it harder to borrow a camera or a car? If you can let your work pay for your camera setup. Might be worth a try to trade videoing of a wedding for a car.
