Go back and look at your thread in 'General'. I posted there.

The camera: looks good. I have a Canon myself and haven't had any huge problems at all. The main difference between the Canon you have there and the Sony I showed you is that the Sony records in widescreen HD. It just has a little more "polished" look to the finished product. However, the canon looks pretty nice, and I know you're a kid with a budget like I am. The light set: hell yah. This is cheap but big. I might look into this set myself, thanks for finding it. If you get these, lemme know how they are.

Does they type of minidv camera really matter ? I thought maybe it was just how good you manual white balance and Focus. I started film school and left so I never got that far. :mad: Yeah that light set is f'n awesome good job !

It does make a difference, but, as you said, it isn't everything. The good thing is, though, that they're creating these great new capture qualities. Like, high definition picture quality.

If your can afford it, I would go for an HD camera. The new Sony HVR V1 seems like a good all rounder.
http://www.dvuser.co.uk/content.php?CID=141 http://www.showreel.org/memberarea/article.php?218 Ideally you want a camera with audio xlr 3pin connectors rather than 3.5mm jack inputs to record decent sound via a decent mic such as the sennheiser ME66 Another camera to consider in the price range is the Canon XH G1. The Panasonic HVX-200 is a popular but more expensive camera used quite a lot by Indie filmakers. The canon XL H1 is also a good camera but expensive as is the JVC HD110. You could look around for a 2nd hand panansonic dvx100 which are decent cameras that give you plenty of control and has been used in plenty Indie features, or a Sony PD170 (though needs extra lens if your want true widescreen footage) Okay. The above may not be the cheapest but you can get good pro results out of them.

I think the most important thing is your creativity. You can have a bunch of crappy equipment, but as long as you're creative you can make it work. Robert Rodriguez's first film, El Mariachi, was shot on a borrowed 16mm camera he didn't know how to use and lit with two clamp-anywhere lamps. The film cost him $7,000 and landed him a multimillion dollar carreer with TriStar/Columbia. Be creative and the equipment you have will be more than enough.
