DV Filmmaking

If you have a camcorder that still works sitting around on the self, well thats basically a dv camcorder. What you'll need is a computer, video editing software(like Windows movie maker, Sony Vegas, or Adobe), and some time to learn the techniques. This website offers a low budget filming product product that can really help you out without having to go to a filming institute for a very good price.

Before you even begin to drag out the big guns, test out your video capturing skills, which helps. Perform some simple recording shots around your area. Once you get all your shots, download them on your computer through your composite wire or usb wire. Open up your video editing software and put them together. Get creative. Again, practice makes perfect. Don't strut over it. Once you get it to a point where you like it, publish it and either download online(like youtube) or show it to your friends and family. Once you get the hang of it, you can go for the big leads.

To begin your dv filmmaking hobby, make yourself a list. Jolt down your budget type, what kind of equipment you need, what is the project about, and so forth.
