I am going to check the firehouse by me on the way home. What a totally out of the box suggestion, Clive! Directorik - yours is going to be my plan B, because I am handy and can pull that off. My dummy is going to be fully dressed anyway, and will only be in one pose the whole scene. So I...

Anybody ever acquired mannequins for any (legitemate cinematic) reason? I am really interested in finding one with arms and head, maybe more than one. I have at least one stunt that has a passive human form in it, and this would be great for that. I checked ebay, but I wondered if some local...

I agree it's best to start with a toy gun. The pistol grip is the hardest thing to manufacturer from scratch. I just made a "bazooka" over the weekend. I got a dollar store toy ball-gun, cut off the pistol grip, attached it to a 5ft long piece of 3" pvc drain pipe with fiberglass cloth and...

The Raiders analysis was interesting. I think if your background is theater, you would have shot this scene totally differently. I'd like to see an analysis of Ed Burns' Brothers McMullen. I think the diff between Spielberg and Burns is like the diff between cinema and theater, respectively...

This was interesting about the mic. I just got a Canon HV30, and then bought Vegas Plat 8.0. I am brand new, and was wondering how I would manage to do narration on my first film project. My idea actually was to use this directional mic I bought that plugs into the jack on my Canon, and just...

I ordered a copy of Vegas Platinum, which supports HD, and I am excited to receive it and check it out. I appreciated the pointers and wisdom that I got from these responses. Nick

I like what I am seeing here about Vegas, and the price is looking attractive. I just want to be clear, I have a Canon HV30, and this Vegas software is from Sony (?). Am I okay to use a Canon with this? Thanks again. You guys are a great help. Nick

Thanks, Doug!! I will look into the balanced XLR item! Nick

Sorry. PC. The budget is $200-$500. Thanks!

Hi! I just bought a Canon HV30, hoping to shoot my first real HDD film. Can anyone recommend an affordable and versatile software for moving the video to the computer and editting it? I hope to be able to dub sound in places, and insert some text, like titles, credits, and import music files...

Directorik - thanks! That is good info to know! Nick

Hi! I am brand new, and planning my first production. I am interested in using songs in my film, ones that are recognizable pop hits you would be familiar with. Has anyone had experience acquiring songs? What price range could be involved for say, the Cure? Creed? Hoobestank? Will they...
