Filmers Discussion Thread

currently i'm using a $100 nikon L14 digital camera that records VGA
quality (640x480 @ 30fps) i don't want anything better really, the
lines i get from top to bottom could go, but they aren't bad enough to
spend 3-5 times the amount and get a slightly better video camera...
and have to haul it around

no tripod

windows movie maker

yeah
you don't need a video editing program, though it would be nice...
reallly nice.

Is there anywhere to get these programs a bit cheaper? What would be a
$100~ editing program for the total noob?

Pinnacle Studio plus or ultimate would be better than WMM but still not
as good as some other, but you can get them from Bestbuy or Futureshop
for under $100.

I would not call that a video production machine. But hey they are
cheap and better then most PCs. You may have issues when you want to
upgrade.

Guys can we stop flaunting our HardDrive space. Yes you need a bunch
for filmmaking but it has no real value. Its like saying I have the
biggest shoes size, 13, I can fit alot of feet in there. Brands of
externals is of some use. I also use LACIE.

I guess I should have put in some pictures of my stuff before.

lol
i like the ducttape thrown in there, that is funny.
anyways, i don't see a point in having anything better than i do for
internet videos. if they were going to be played in a theater or
something like that... then i could see, but for videos you are seeing
no profit from? whats the point?

Hey but a great set-up anyway. I am really jealous of your uneed

you probably have a 64.4 mm lense then. unless you have a filter on it
then youl prolly need a stepdown ring...37mm->64.4mm

i think:p

Isaac. Consider getting a wide angle conversion lens in addition
to a fish eye. It will give you a good in between angle that isn't
quite as extreme as the fisheye and not nearly as flat as without a
conversion.

also dont think longlens isnt good either, because it's awesome! you
can be really creative in your paning and zooming with a longlens
(also never wanna zoom with a fisheye) and watch out for
vignetting(black corners) with a fisheya also

you need...:o
