I've been making short films with crappy equipt for a while and am ready to invest in some good stuff. I was just wondering what people think about this stuff, what of it is good, something better for a similar price, what accesories are unnecessary, etc.
my computer and software that i already have:
mac book pro mac os x vers. 10.5.6
2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo
4 gb 667 mhz ddr2 sdram
adobe cs4 master collection
i'm pretty much already set on a Canon XH A1 ($3000)
canon wide angle converter lense ($350)
hoya uv filter, polarizer, warming filter ($110)
pro vista airlift tripod with dolly ($200)
some hard case ($150)
sony dvm-63hd tapes
impact tungsten 3 pice light set ($205)
audio technica atr55 mic ($80)
i know the camera is good, but i havent even messed with the software that i have, so i was wondering is there proper color correction and stuff like that on there so i can get a nice picture?
and would anyone recommend a contrast filter?
also if anyone wants to check out the script i wrote (first draft) i can email you the pdf of it
thanks a lot
