Hello I’m Corey Turner here on ExpertVillage.com and today we’re talking about low budget moving making. Now in your budget you need to be sure and allot for the equipment that you plan on using. What kind of camera do you have? I personally feel if you shoot a good movie, you do the production value as strong as you can; you use strong sets and strong actors, a lot of that can overcome the type of camera that you use. On the other hand, give your script and give your movie the best possible chance, these actors, the crew, they’re going to be coming in devoting their time and investing their time, so if you can save up a little bit more money and get a three-chip digital camera. Or if you wait another month, save up some more money and you can get a nice HD camera. In the long run that other month and getting that HD camera is going to be so helpful to you and I’m going to show you how that month while you’re putting that money together is going to help your production go smoother as we get to the end.
