That's good to know. Since I have no musical talents I can't get my own music. It's a good to know there are some people willing to do this stuff, because it's hard to find.

Im pretty sure only the xl-1 has the ability to change the lenses, but that is the actual lense. I own a wide angle lense, and it just screws into the lense on my camera. The actual lenses you would remove say on the xl=1 would be, like you would on say a film camera. Very expensive lenses for all s...

Now I took a look at some computers when I was at future shop (like best buy), and I checked out the amd64 3200+, and it really did not seem all that fast. Now I did not try out any programs, so I assume that is where it will improve?

- JVC dv camera - Tripod - External Mic - Clapboard (just got it) - My editing setup, which is getting pretty old, and hopefully soon replaced, amd xp 1600, dual monitors, premiere, after effects, etc, some vcrs. - Other stuff like props I just find, and start collecting - I was going to get a pair ...

Yeah two of my favourites, both brilliant and original. I want to get the kubrick collection on dvd, the only thing that sets me back is the price. I try to find hitchcock at low prices, since many places (blockbuster) try and sell them for like $50 each

Well I start out with a pretty rough edit, like no or little effects, music, or soud effects. Once I have that together I export it as a full quality .avi file. I open that up in premiere, and fix it up, do trasitions and effects, add music/sound effetcs etc. The I export that to another .avi file, ...

Yeah, El Mariachi has a great commentary. I also heard cabin fever had a good one, where eli roth basically talks about filmmaking the entire time, but I have yet to check it out. I have not really listened to that many, even though I have lots with commentary

I thought it was decent overall and worth the download, if your going to be online anyways. Although I agree with John_Mirra in that it was a little dark in places. Oh and that is part of the 28 days later soundtrack right?

Well, yeah I went over the prices again, and Im just going to get a gb or ram. Also I tink I will get a amd64. But what do I really need to know about them?

Cw Shredder solved a big spyware problem I had a while back. They actually completley disabled norton antivirus, even after it was fixed.

I just started playing around with vegas 4. Ive been with premiere for a pretty long time, and will probably end up sticking with it, but vegas did have some stuff I really liked. I was impressed by the colour correcting, and some of the other effects. p.s. If anyone could tell me how to change the ...

On clearance I got 2001, lolita, the man who knew too much, the chinese connection, and fists of fury, all for under $20

Yeah I was thinking of it, but what do I really need to know? Will I need tons of things to support programs, or will it just work regular? Also what will the speed be like?

Yeah, I was reading a few instructions and it didn't seem that bad. It's such a money saver too. Heres what I want to get - some case prefurably a pretty nice looking one (I saw one that look just like an apple g4) - pentium 4 motherboard with 2 ieee 1394 ports, 6 usb, max 4 gb ram, mouse/keyboard p...

Im reading 303 digital filmmaking solutions right now actually. I tend just to read biographies, and stuff on how people started making films.

I would like to build one but how hard is it?

These are the specs I was thinking about

- 3.2 ghz p4
- 512 mb ram
- motherboard with up to 4 gb ram, ieee 1394 ports
- and then the rest of it.

I know 3.2 ghz is expensive, but I also am looking at 3.0, and 3.4

Well I don't have enough money for a mac, and to switch editing programs, so forget about that.

I heard it takes quite a bit of knowledge and time to build one, and I don't know too much about computers

Ok where heres the story. My dad's starting up this small internet buisness and he needs a new computer. So I will probably end up getting a new one. Now I know a fair bit about computers, but I need some help. I mostly do editing, but also some work in photoshop, and dreamweaver. Now here's a coupl...

I would try and do it outside if you can. If not I would not use greenscreen, because you need a lot of lighting and since it's a night scene it may not look to good. Just cover it in the black cloths like you said. Get some trees (real or fake), and theres countless other things you can do to make ...

I was wondering about something like that, how much is a cd printer?

Im waiting before I buy anything else. The new shipments of used stuff just go in to blockbuster, so I think I'll pick up big fish, elephant, city of god, oh yeah and they also have the new collectors editions of the great escape and the good, the bad, and the ugly, so I think I'll pick up them.

I haven't got the video card yet, but if I do, what output should I look for?

It looked like there was a sprinlre used for one of the shots. You could dump some food coloring in a hose and then turn the water on, but i doubt that would work.

Some pretty good stuff, but it's weird that you only have star wars episode 1 and matrix reloded and not the rest of them

I thought the tv out on video cards was only s video, or is there audio/video cables too?
