How should i get started

[SillyRabbii]

I wanna get started making vids cuz i finaly realized i cant sk8 to great so i was just wondering what i need to do and what i need to get started???

[wowwhatsthat]

Well first youre going to need a camera i suggest the canon elura 100 i own it and ican produce some pretty good colors with it.
2nd u need editing software if you have windows xp u have windows movie maker or if you have a mac its imovie but if ur running an older version of windows you would have to purchase some software
3rd you need a firewire to transfer footage to your computer you might have a firewire port but if not you could buy a pci card.
4th (optional) youll need to get a fisheye i would suggest the kenko sgw043 ive got it and its very wide
5th (optional you should make a handle ive made a thread on how tos so check it out.

wow shut up and stop beign obbsessed wiht your stupid elura... why didnt you give him a list of <b>good</B> begginner cams?
umm im not gunnna list cameras again iv done it way to many times check other threads

[Trippy_Filmer]

how can you start? buy changing your user name. and yeah chill out on the elura anybody can get semi-decent colors if they white balance. and yeah im sick of posting hopless's list of cams just read other threads thats what thier here for!

Get a cheap digital camcorder from ebay and start there. Definitly video tape a lot cause it's funny to look back when u sucked :-D

matt... what the fuk

[casanova]

i wouldnt buy a canon, get a sony, the trv 18 is an AMAZING camera to start with or even the vx700, which is completely manual, same as the vx1k minus the handle and 3 chips in it

[hopelessfilmer]

manual controls are confusing to novice filmers... espically when you names sillyrabbii... i support the idea of a trv18
