Your responses have been very helpful. Thanks! About using a manual film camera, would it be possible to go for digital instead? I would really save a lot of money by not having to buy film ... after all, i am a college student, and i have a tight budget.

I'm immensely interested in the field. What you guys are doing is absolute art. I remember as a kid i'd see a really amazing shot and i'd wonder, "how did they do that? what did the cameraman do to achieve that kind of shot?" It's the same thing these days. Whether it's a T.V. advertisement, an epic movie... anything. Nowadays i just feel the urge to buy a camera and start shooting. basically, i'm camera-dumb and have had no experience on these things... How does a young, naive but enthusiastic college student like me get on this? did you take any classes? What kind of camera (and computer software) does a newbie start off with? How did you "break into" the business... any info would be greatly appreciate, Thanks!
