| If you shoot a feature length movie on film, you can spend $30,000 (if you are being real frugal!) just buying the film-stock. Developing it would be extra, about the same amount. We can (and have) shot the same length movie on $200 worth of videotape. This is what got me into the independent film-making business. (And let me emphasize the word "Business" Don't ask me what Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt or Jennifer Aniston are really like. I am much more interested in how ordinary people with reasonable amounts of money can make entertaining films.) Edward Burns (The Brothers McMullan, She's The One) gave a very informative talk a few years ago at the Cinema Arts Centre here in Huntington, Long Hollywood isn't interested in telling good stories. They would rather reach the broadest possible market with the most impressive special effects. The story is secondary. As a result, there is an opportunity for independent film-makers to reach the segment of the public that wants content.

What I love about digital video is
how equipment such as a camera
mount, can be easily rigged for the
fraction of the cost of a
film camera mount
