Thanks for your response David. I guess I just really like the gritty feel of the movie. Also I was looking more for any camera or lighting tricks during production to give it this feeling, specifically advice of gels to use for lights/white balancing, etc

We are creating a short film for one of my classes and I was wondering if you guys had any advice on how to achieve this look, lighting wise / camera settings. We are using a Panasonic AG HVX200.
The lenses we have are a 25mm, 35mm, and and one other that I cant think of right now. I am still a newbie to this forum so I hope this is the right place to post this question.

I really appreciate the advice you guys have given me. I will definitely keep your comments in mind when I decide where I want to go with my life.
An additional note, another thing that I am very interested in is under water videography. I have my basic scuba certification and plan on getting my advanced, and cave/wreck diving certs once I get a little more money. My mentor from the aquarium said he will call me in when their underwater videographer comes in next so I can meet/talk to him. I am staying on with the aquarium as a volunteer right now in hopes that it will give me a better chance to get a videography position if one opens up.
Thanks again guys!

Thanks a lot for the help Adrian. I will look into that! One of my buddies has been showing me a few tricks on dreamweaver so I am hoping that he will help me start up a web site and I could do small additions whenever I have new material.

So I want to set up a web site to have a place where I can post my resume, reel, and photo portfolio. I was wondering what sites some other people use and what sort of price range I should be looking at. Also any stylistic advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I am currently a film student studying in Maryland. I am in my last semester of school and am trying get into freelance work, or really anything to make some money in the big scary real world. Through my time at school I have held 2 internships both were working with animals. Last summer I interned for the Smithsonian National Zoological Park in Washington DC as their videographer. I had did some work which was played on local news stations, as well as placed on the Zoo's web site and youtube page. This past winter I worked for the National Aquarium in Baltimore where my main job was to create a web video announcing the pregnancies of two of the aquarium's dolphins.
As you can probably tell, I love working with animals and would hope to have a job someday where I could travel and film them. Recently I filmed a conference for a non-prophet group to aid in cleaning Baltimore's inner harbor. Through filming this and meeting some of these people I found that I would also love to have a job that helps these groups and promotes conservation of some sort.
Coming out of school my main worry is making a living and to be able to support living on my own. Very soon I will have the beginning of my film kit which I will list below. If you guys have any advice for me I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks for reading.
I spent a lot of time with one of my professors and we came up with this as a good starting kit for about $2000
Canon 60D w/ 18-135 EFS Zoom Lens w/ UV Filter
Extra Battery
18 gig SDHC HI SPEED card
Opteka X-grip pro
Rode Video Mic w/ shock mount
Manfrotto 501HDV Pro Video Head w/ 055Xb Legs
Canon camera bag 10EG
Boom Pole and 1/8" mini Extension cable

I recently graduated with a film degree from a university in Maryland and I was wondering if anybody knew of any civilian contracted film jobs there may be for the military or how to go about finding them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
