Thanks for the reply! Actually someone I know who plans on doing my editing for me(because I don't have the patience for editing really. I can do the short films but it aggravates me--so I can only imagine a 90 minute film would be EXTREMELY aggravating. lol--I'm more of a writer & an actor than an editor--and I guess I'll be director too.) has tried to get the "free" versions of after effects and I think maybe sony vegas too but never had any luck in getting them to actually work right. :confused: :(
Yeah I know that sound & lighting can really make the movie better...I personally don't really like watching bad quality independent films with bad audio, bad lighting, etc... even if the movie could have actually been good if not for bad camera/bad lighting/bad audio...it just takes away from the movie, I think. And I saw a few independent films last weekend at the film fest I went to that were horrible quality and I didn't enjoy those. Couldn't get into them. But then I saw some that were actually made really well, almost professional quality...and I was alot more into them. I'd want my movie to be more like that instead of one of those that just looks like a home movie and the audience would probably be thinking "Wow. I could make a better movie than that!" <--cause that's what I think when watching some of those independent films. I know with the right equipment I could do a great job.
Also a question about ebay--I've never got anything from there myself...I'm a little scared to buy used stuff from random people like that. So if I bought a cam on there and it didn't work or didn't work nearly as well as they said it did or something... would I be able to send it back for a refund? Or would I be stuck with a junky camera that didn't work & be out alot of money for nothing? How does that work exactly? I'd be afraid unless I knew it was a guaranteed thing. Thanks again!
