Im curious, how is this camera? I know the low light isnt great, but as far as video quality in normal light, how do the 1/6th CCD's hold up? I read a couple reviews, and I kind of like the camera, but havent heard from anyone who used it. Im still looking at a VX2000, but the price is crazy, and I ...

Thanks guys I havent been here in a while. Yes, I know for a FACT im saving up for a vx2k or 2100. I've been filming skateboarding for two years, so knowledge as far as cameras go and operating them isnt a problem. As far as the spelling goes, thanks. Those are the two words that I commonly mix up, ...

Good thing the only action i'll have in this movie is a suicide at the very end, he may take some down with him, havent decided yet.

I read the charecter list... like Epsilon, i'll read it later. I just woke up (2:05pm) and I have to at least eat breakfast...

I will, I may make a little teaser later with a little bit of footage (even though I havent even begun shooting)

Thanks

I have a job doing photography for a local bike shop, which is great considering I used to pretty much live in that bike shop.

But that doesnt bring in enough for me to consider it a job.

Well, seeing as im 15 and dont have transportation to such events that would be very far away from my house, seeing as I live in a small town located in the corn fields of Indiana...

Well I talk to a lot of people from school online, and if they start the convo and ask me what im doing i'll tell them that im working on the script or something, some are really supportive. Im just not going to go to school with a shirt that says, "Curtis Mann, director, producer, screenwriter...

Oh, ok. So whats a good program for this?

Is there a such thing as screen writing software? If so, whats the advantages over using a program like MSword? I just us MSword, it seems to get it done.

Thanks, its much shorter. I have only one problem. There is a scene inside a school, where the main charecter talks to the counsler. Im not sure how im going to do this, probably just ask if I can film this after school. But he gets called in because his teachers feel that he's being troubled, and s...

Well right now I film strictly bmx and skateboarding, and the vx2k would serve double duty for btoh cams, i've been filming HI8 for two years, its time I made the move to a 3chipper. And thanks for the support, im going to continue to work on the script today. And how can I acheive that 'film look' ...

Sorry, you're right. But something like a atomic bomb exploding should be free anyway.

Thanks, because I believe both of my ideas are great, but I dont want to sound cocky. Its going to be a movie about a teenager and his quest to escape the grip that his small town holds on him. The movie is going to be called, "The big affects of a small town" or "Blank Canvas Life&qu...

I didnt read all the replys, but here is another great idea for good filming effects. It always makes me smile when I see it in movies, its that damn good if used right. Go to Lowes, buy a sheet of wood that is about 1/4 inch thick and big enough for you to spread your tripod out on it. Keep in mind...

I didnt read all the replies to this thread, so perhaps this has already been sugested. I was thinking the same thing, "what if?". So this is what I would do. Make those stupid signs, in the shape of an 'A' that say something like, "Movie filming in process" or something, that co...

Hey, I'm 15 and i've been working on 'secretely' planning a movie I want to shoot. I've been planning 'secretely' for the sole fact that I feel if people know about it, i'll be told, "You cant do that" or "your not going to do well", etc etc. Anyway, i've narrowed down all my ide...
