Oh, no - believe me, I would happily spend whatever I needed to just to do it for fun... but with school and a 7 month old daughter I very much want the "practical" way to do it - if there is one, LOL. I have no delusions of any money I put into it coming back to me besides me paying it off...

Wow - an even bigger challenge than I thought... I never know where to find info on film festivals and such - another reason I'm glad I found this place! :D Well, here's an idea... I have a very good credit score... yet the highest limit CC I've ever had was a $3500. Assuming I could get...

I know, I know... dont get me wrong - I didnt expect it to be cheap, if I had the money to spend I gladly would... and by the time I muster up that kind of money, the things I was saving for will probably be out of date. At least I know actors wont be a problem - I lettered in Theater Arts in...

uh - I'm not sure on that - its a dell inspiron E1505 with windows medai edition... if that means anything... as for cost, I meant total cost of camera, editing program, and computer (assuming the computer is the cheapest of all those). I mean, I would need all those things to really do...

well, I have a dell laptop w/windows that is almost maxed out on memory as it is... so I will mosst definately be getting a new one devoted just for film editing. That being said... I am starting to get very discouraged... its sounding like the bare minimum of what I'll need for what I wish to...

shawn, is there stuff of yours I can see that was shot and edited with what you listed?

I've heard some people say to make sure your computer can support the editing software - because some require massive amounts of memory... is there a specific program anyone would suggest?

would an auction such as this be a good deal? http://cgi.ebay.com/Canon-GL2-3CCD-MiniDV-Camcorder-DELUXE-PKG-BRAND-NEW_W0QQitemZ290196130656QQihZ019QQcategoryZ20330QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Well it sounds like I'll be going with a GL2 - now I must ask - is it pointless to buy such a thing unless I have proper computer capabilities to support it? And if so, what (at least) would I require? I guess what I'm saying is if I ONLY have the camera, is there gonna be much I can do...

I agree Raimi has promise... but I was unimpressed with what he did with Spider-man 3, which supposadely he had the most freedom with in all 3 movies - so hearing his name makes me nervous. Hopefully whoever it is, they will take all direction from Peter Jackson and strive to emulate what he did...

I guess the rumor that Sam Raimi is going to direct is out now...?

assuming I had everything else needed - would the GL2 be able to be used for green screen effects?

Ok, now tell me - what is better? HD or 3ccd?

wow, thanks! How can I know if the cheaper ones are legit or not???

Thank you! I'm glad I found this place! LOL! Yes, I know the camera is only one of many aspects when making a quality video - but I know if I start with something snazzy it'll keep me that much more motivated... lets say I have $2000 to spend on one - what would be the best quality for that...

Thank you for the informative reply! How much should I expect to pay for the camera you recommended?

Hello all! Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Matt, I live in Phoenix, AZ, and have loved making movies my entire life. It was never anything serious, but I always loved taking whatever video camera I could and just making... something. I started with the age-old Tyco videocam...
