What are some good first steps? (Besides buying a video camera of course!) Is Videography at all similar to photography? The types of movies I'm looking to make are like slowed down videos, sped up videos, basically a fair range of videos. Will my still photography tripod work with video cameras? Please treat me as someone who has never used a video camera (because that basically what I am). I guess my price range would be anything up to $200.00 USD. Now I know from my experience with still photography cameras that that won't really buy anything anywhere nears a pros standards, so I'm looking for something basic. If it helps at all, for my photography I use a Digital Rebel XT.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Phil,</p>
