buying cameras, and get some training. A pro quality camera will start about $3,000 and go up fairly quickly. Add sound, lights, tripod, etc., and the knowledge to set up the camera, sound, lights, etc. plus the knowledge needed to edit the results when you are done.
$2,000 simply will not do it.
Hello everyone, I've been reading this forum the last few days and have been enjoying everyone.
My budget for everything is around $2000. Basically what I want to do is make my own (very low budget
) T.V. show. Think talk show, I'm going to have 3 people sitting in chairs talking. What exactly do I need to film this? I've already got the video editting software and I can make one of those steady cams. What sort of camera will I need to have rather high quality video (comparable to say the movie clerks?) What else will I need? Thank you! Will $2000 be enough?
