Which Digital Video Camera for Amateur Video?
Maznafein asks: "I'm about to leave the IT world, after just finishing a degree in audio engineering, and I'd like to start doing some A/V work on the side as I attempt to make the transition to a new career. I want to make a my first short film either in the late fall, or early spring. I want to do everything in the digital domain as I currently use Logic and Ableton Live on my power book. I have all the gear I need to use up to eight microphones and I can easily pick up some shot gun mics. I don't really know which [video camera] to go with. Like every geek I want the best resolution available other than that the only thing I know I'll need is it to be water resistant/proof, or be able to purchase a housing, for up to a 15 minute scene in the short film I am adapting. What should I go with?"
"I've always been a firm believer that to make it in any field you have to show that you want to do it. I currently write my own tracks (bangin' german techno) and engineer/mix down local artists (rock, pop and hip hop) on the side already. I just have yet to get into the nitty gritty of doing film production."

More importantly, where do you get the actresses for the, uh, amateur videos?
Show me on the doll where his noodly appendage touched you.
Ha shows what you know. Slashdoters make amateur porn? They're consumers not producers!

If artistic black and white is your thing, consider picking up an old security camera and a video input card. Sure, the focus is terrible, there is no sound, the contrast sucks, and it is real grainy, but this just adds to the consuming intensity of your work. No?

...everyone is impressed with the quality.

I meant everyone in my family is impressed. I'm sure the jerks on this site will find every fault and then some. But that's Slashdot.

You need a girlfriend first.
And if you pay her by the hour, she's not a girlfriend!

As a photography professional, I just wanted to lend you my hearty agreement. In order to get the best stills and video in low light situations, you want the lowest possible digital resolution. The Sorny MegaVideo 4P is always a favorite, with a total of 4 pixels for maximum light gathering potential.
Dear Slashdot,
/etc/init.d/initrc.d.rc/xargs/\/s/g and I pressed CTRL-SHIFT-META-ü when all the sudden I said to myself, what the fuck is all this shit?
Which way should I wank off while watching tentacle-rape Anime? Thumbs in or thumbs out?
Dear Slashdot,
How can I make the most of ramen?
Dear Slashdot,
Is this g0t r00t? T-shirt too dirty, or too small for my belly to wear?
Dear Slashdot,
The other day I was using Emacs on Gentoo under X11R6 to edit
Forget about the equipment, writing, cast, so on. With an accent that thick, any movie that he makes is guaranteed to be brilliant.

All girlfriends are pay by the hour.
It's just that some let you build up the debt to be paid off in a bulk transaction later, others require their fees in advance. (Then there are the residuals if you fail to write a bulletproof contract.)
So then, after all these years, Slashdot's unilateral & collective response to all questions seems to be, "Fuck off, dumbass. You bother us!"
Oh well. There's always the real world, where questions may actually be listened to...
Nothing is so smiple that it can't get screwed up.
you just have to lick all the chocolate off it.
