Hey guys, I'm looking to buy my first real camera and I really would love some help and advice. The first step is of course doing research on my own, and I feel like I've done tons of research... but really, it gets to a point where a ton of the information is outdated, or the information is...

I've been considering lately buying a DV camcorder, but I just can't for the life of me decide if I'd be better off renting one.

I go to NYU, so maybe I can help here-- Can't speak for the other schools, but if you decide to go to NYU, you should know that you're paying ridiculous amounts of money for connections, nothing more. The education is okay, but you can do much better keeping your money, funding your own films...

I've been studying and writing screenplays for a little while now, but it's always so frustrating spending so much time writing something and not seeing it ever produced. I'm a student and not yet ready to start sending my screenplays out to agents or anything, and all my friends who are...
