CoreyAndrews Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hello, being someone who is highly interested in filmmaking but at the same time having no real genuine knowledge or practice (i'm saving for a Panasonic AG-DVX100A), I was wondering, since I'm always looking around here and find myself quite lost most of the time, does anyone know of a site that explain the bare essentials. Basically I'm not sure where to start in understanding the technical side of things. Is there a filmmaking for dummies? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appriciated, thank you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who co-wrote it is a regular here so if you have questions about where to go from there, you can get that. The only substitute for book-learnin' is many years of experience and only one of those is an option for you right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Crane Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 When you read up a bit I would recommend picking up a cheap super 8 camera and shooting some film to get a feel for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
