Since I know my trade well but know very little about producing a DVD, I hunted around and found this forum. I have the idea all sorted out. The next step is to figure out the proper camera set up to get and what accessories I'll need to go with it. I guess what I'm looking at is getting a bunch of raw "film" together that I can bring to someone who can then edit it into the finished product. Unless, of course, this would be too expensive, in which case I'd have to figure a way to edit things myself. The production of the actual disc is still a hurdle also. I also have no idea how to forecast the demand for this because it's never been done in my area of expertise before. The market may welcome it with open arms.</p> <p>In researching camcorders, it seems the number of variables is off the scale. Is digital better than film, and if so, why? I don't know what half the terms mean so I have to ask for help. The last thing I want to do is tie up a lot of capital in equipment that won't meet my needs or will not perform the way I'd like. I'd like a decent level of quality but I don't want to be George Lucas. That's not necessary. There will be some long shots, some close ups and I'd like to be able to add high res photos in certain spots of the process.</p> <p>I have no idea how much capacity I'll need also. How do you judge how much has been recorded versus how much storage is left?</p> <p>Lighting, storyboards, microphones, batteries, ease of use in handling and transferring all the info that's filmed along with how to polish the look are all subjects I'm interested in exploring.</p> <p>Any feedback you can offer to a total noob would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Maverick </p>
