Hey everyone.
I've been lurking this forum a little while and thought I would start posting.
I'm in the UK and on a film making course at a university. I'm just about to start my second year and all is going well so far. I have only ever really made one short which was just to practice sync sound and continuity editing. I had some kind of story for it but it ended up not making any sense at all once I cut it down to the 5 min limit but everyone thought it was good for a first try. My second short I had to make was pathetic because I had no time to spend on it since I was ill at the time. But I spent the summer dreaming up film ideas that I could be making this year so hopefully I will have stuff to share.
I'm planning on buying a canon xl1 soon or something similar since at my college they only let you sign equipment out for 2 days and you get fines if they are late. Is this a decent camera to buy? I dont have a hope in hell of saving enough cash for a HD camera yet, I thought I would forget about HD for another year at least.
