I have a (2) two million dollars budget for a movie and I would like to know if I should budget it the same way I would a $20,000 movie or should I hire a professional to do the budget? The movie is set to release in DVD. I plan to use $200,000 for equipment because I don't want to use my old gear.</p> <p>Any feedback is appreciated.</p> <p><a href="mailto:jacmelien@aol.com">jacmelien@aol.com</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/speed-hd-8tz-full-4-part-review#post-54103 Fri, 15 Jan 2010 18:03:33 +0000 wwinter86 54103@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi</p> <p>I just made a four part video review on the budget 1080p camcorder, Speed HD-8TZ.</p> <p>Please check it out and let me know what you think as it's my first tech review.</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/freefullvideos#p/c/D97BDC5F75E02E02" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/user/freefullvideos#p/c/D97BDC5F75E02E02</a></p> <p> </p> <p>P.S I hope this is the right section of the forum for this.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-camera-choice-for-amateur-filmmaker#post-53689 Sun, 03 Jan 2010 15:00:48 +0000 OldBullLee 53689@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I recently decided that as long as I spend so many hours on my couch watching movies, I should get up and try making some. I'm a sophmore in High School, so my budget is pretty low. I'm looking for a solid camera for 500, at most 600 dollars, so any advice on that would be awesome</p> <p>Here's the thing though, there's so many different formats and choices like - mp4 or avi - HDD or miniDV - that i'm completely overwhelmed! If someone could outline or suggest a camera and why, thatd be awesome. I want the footage to be able to be edited, and though i know nothing about editing or software i'm willing to study hard to learn so editing difficulty is not an issue. I'm looking for video quality, and editing capabilities first and foremost.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/writing-a-proposal#post-52227 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:23:51 +0000 dreambigmg 52227@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I am looking for some tips on how to start, polish and master writing proposals for my company.

They just plan to put a camcorder on a tripod, attach a simple clip-on lav mic, and then shoot. Then they plan to dump the data to a DVD, and then do that again for eight days. Then I will pick up the pieces from here.</p> <p>My friends are clueless about three-point lighting and all that, and I don't want to overload them. I just need to give them a simple recommendation about which AVCHD camcorder and clip-on lav mic they can get, on a budget.</p> <p>Thanks very much for your help.</p> <p>Norman </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/no-budget-film-school#post-45424 Tue, 31 Mar 2009 13:55:20 +0000 macphilia 45424@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Fellow Filmmakers,</p> <p>No Budget Film School will be happening again in LA on May 30 &amp; 31,<br /> 2009. I missed it last time and was really bummed, so I wanted to<br /> announce it here.</p> <p>It's a two-day weekend seminar that teaches the craft of making a solid<br /> feature film with virtually no budget. I've taken a shorter version of<br /> the course and it was awesome. Plus, during the weekend version, there<br /> are some really accomplished filmmakers who have made successful no<br /> budget films.</p> <p>There are some serious discounts too, but even the regular price is way low. Here's the link:<a href="http://www.nobudgetfilmschool.com/"> No Budget Film School<br /></a><br /> <br /> Peace,<br /> Chris B.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-budget-cg-for-older-analog-gear#post-43795 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 11:57:19 +0000 AlanPeterson 43795@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I just received a nice inexpensive little Grass Valley 110 switcher which will be installed to handle a multi-camera webcast accompanying a radio show.  This switcher has a downstream input, so I'm now hunting for something that will give me graphics, lower 3rds etc.</p> <p>The boys in the front office don't much like the idea of having to go $1k to $3k for a little CG box, and would prefer something that will reflect the "budget" aspect of the overall project and still give me what I need. Has anyone discovered any software solutions that might prove helpful to me, preferably one that can work with a non-pro-level video output card from a common PC?</p> <p>Thanks for whatever you can suggest.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/filming-full-speed-racing-atv-racing#post-42762 Fri, 02 Jan 2009 14:52:04 +0000 wcollum 42762@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Let me begin by saying that I am a new to the whole camcorder scene. I am wanting to get into filming quads and try to make my own video.  I am currently a rider and I would like to know what a good camera would be.  I am looking for a good clear picture.  The sound isn't a big issue since most to all atv racing videos use music instead of sound.  Although, price is a issue I would like to know the best bang for the buck.  I would like to keep it around $1000 or less if possible.  I wouldn't mind useing used equipment as long as its in good condition.</p>
