Response to HELP PRODUCING FEATURE FILM ON DV with NLE?????? PLZ

from Trevor Swaim (hondacaferacer@hotmail.com)
O.K. firstly I think we both know you're already in way over your head but if you insist on continuing on this journey here's some equipment help

Camera first I would recomend the new panasonic 24p camera I have used one and was blown away by the picture quality. or Jvc has just released a High Def camera, I have no experiance with it and so can't recomend it but the reviews have been great and lastly the old stand-by Canon XL-1s the picture quality of the other two cameras is better but the online support and tips for this camera are nearly endless.

as for the editing set-up APPLE MACINTOSH!!!! is you can wait until august to by the computer apple will have released the powermac G5 running at 2.0ghz with dual processors this is the fastest desktop machine in the world. if you cant wait then by a dual processor powermac G4(still very speedy) the machines are great but the software that apple has is even better! buy Final Cut Pro 4 this will take care of all of your editing problems (as for syncing the sound all NLE's handle that.The only other editing program you should consider is one of the avid suites. also buy DVD studio pro this program will allow you to professionaly produce DVD's (not to mention let you master in 5.1 Dolby Digital) these programs are considerably better than any thing you can get for a windows machine.

hope i helped a little bit. remember the world rewards the bold, but not the dumb! good luck your going to need it!
