I'm looking for a great video editing program. Any suggestions? I know that there is a extremely wonderful program made for Mac computers, but that name escapes me now...

i get the feeling that the main idea has been lost here.....

For Mr. Bass, i wasn't implying that cinematography was a sure thing either. what i meant was just what silverstein said, it's way easier to become a cinematographer than it is to become a professional actor. All of that is irrelevant, however. Most of the experence I'm gaining right now is with my high school. We have a bi-weekly student news show that only a handful of students get to partake in. We use Canon digital recorders that use DV tapes. Not exactly the calibur I need to be spending a lot of time with if I'm going to get serious about a career. I know that there are a lot of different style cameras, lenses, and film, and much more that maybe I don't know about. That was the whole reason for this post. To figure out what kind of equipment would be good for someone just starting out. Also help on where I could go to find equipment to purchase. I live in Kansas, about an hour south-east of Kansas City, if that helps at all.

Hi everyone. i just found this site by looking up cinematography, and i am so glad i've found it. its exactly what i needed. now i know that most everyone here has some type of familiarity with cinematography. what i was needing is maybe some tips you may have for getting started in cinematography. i.e. gear, books, experience, etc. i've always been facinated with movies, both on the screen and behind. acting is a personal love of mine, but even though i am a dreamer, i am also a realist. acting isn't ever something that is a sure thing. and i have always wanted to have a career in cinematography. i'm currently looking to attend a college in san francisco to study television and motion pictures, both in front and behind camera. so in short, anything information that you could give to help me get started in cinematography would be GREATLY appreciated. stay cool.
