I recently picked up a DR-60. While I've only used it for a few interviews to date, so far I'm pretty impressed with it. Battery life is actually pretty decent, and I do have a set of Eneloops that I always take with me. Also, the DR-60 does charge via the USB cable, so when I'm indoors or in...

I bought this set from Amazon a few months back to use on a documentary project I'm currently working on. Mind you, it's not top quality stuff, but for the price, it's hard to beat. I've lugged it around a 3 state area for 12+ interviews so far, and have had no problems with it at all. I know...

Used to do some editing about 10 years ago for local public TV, so not a total newbie but by no means a pro either. Going to start work of some video projects soon and I need to get a decent setup for editing. Money is definitely an issue right now--can't really afford to splurge on a new Mac...

It's basically unwatchable at my place. DSL connection, newish computer, etc. For comparison, I rarely have issues watching vids on Vimeo.

I picked up a Manfrotto MVH500AH a few months back and I'm VERY happy with it! Great for a DSLR or camcorder. Solid, well built, very nice movement....

Many, many thanks to RayW and everyone else who participated in this thread! We're gearing up for a crowdfunding campaign for our documentary project, and the stories shared here have been extraordinarily helpful!!!

Well, here he is in the flesh pushing the film.....anyone know who he is?

During the fundraising campaigns on Kickstarter and Indigogo he claimed to have produced "several award-winning commercials and the feature-length film "American Progress" but I can find no bona fide info about him at all....makes me wonder if the whole thing isn't a scam. If it is, and the news...

I'd heard about this anti-gmo indy film a few months back when they were seeking $3 million during a failed Kickstarter campaign. There were a fair number of people claiming that the whole thing was a scam, and that Director/Producer/Writer Robert Everest wasn't even a real person, and yet now I...

So, I'm taking the plunge and I'm going to make my first documentary film. Low budget. Some funding already secured, more is needed. It seems that these days in order to "legitimize" your project you need an online presence, whether it be social networking, a website, crowdsourcing, or all of...
