Got a Thousand Dollars -- What Should I buy?

[garylloyd]

I want to start making films and only have a thousand dollars.

What basic equipment should I buy to start shooting right away until more money comes in?

I have nothing but my laptop and Cyberlink Director 10.

BTW, any DIY on mounting a Rode VM on a boom pole ?

Panasonic GH2 is the best bang for the buck. By far.
