Hello, I am new to this message board and new to independent film making. I am wanting advice on what you people would suggest for equipment. I am somewhat budgeted, and this is why I am worried. The equipment I want is well out of my price range at this point, and so I don't want to buy cheap equipment that isn't even worth it's cheap price. If you have any suggestions, my main concerns at this point are the best devices for recording video and audio, and what program would be good for editing. I plan to do all my editing on my computer, so a camcorder that can plug up to my computer is a must. I am very uneducated on film making and equipment, I'm kind of teaching myself as I go, and it is a slow start. I basically top out at spending a grand on a camcorder at this point, and a grand is my maximum top out. Please advise. It will be much appreciated. Thank you.
