Question: I want to buy a camera to make shorts amd want it to look "filmy" without spend $1000's!. What should I get!?

My budget is very small!. I would love to not spend over a grand on the camera and want it to look professional!. Am I just SOL or does anyone have ideas on how to do this!? I have some great scripts I I want to bust out but don't want to bust my wallet!. Any advice besides getting a partner would be awesome!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can get many good quality cameras for under a grand now!. Especially if you find a good used deal!. Check the sony vx2000 for a good used one, new its more but deals can be found trust me!. Along with cannons GL2 etc!. another good one!. For sure one thing to keep in mind is getting a 3-CCD camera!. Here is a Wikipedia explanation for this just in case http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/3CCD!.

As far as the film look, well if you score a sweet deal, use that leftover money and buy good editing software and you can do just about any look you desire!. Such as Adobe Premiere, Apples Final Cut, or Sonys Vegas Pro 8, and of course Adobe Affter Effects is great eye candy as well!.!.!.again look around and you can find deals!.
Good luck and have fun!Www@QuestionHome@Com
