Consumer priced and worth every penny!

Looking at the Panasonic hdcs1 camera its amazing to notice how many features are available for the price of $1,199.00 us. This camera firstly is hi definition with an amazing display on its 3.0" lcd display, this allows you to be able to get a perfect picture of what the final product will look like.

One of the definate best sellers of this is its design, this camera is beautiful , compact and has an optional image stabalizer which although requires good energy it definately allows good flexibility for your own project either the brithday, soccer game, or your own Spielburgian attempt at stardom.

All the bells and whistles and its free!

Have you ever looked at video editing software online only to be turned away by the large price tag? And even worse the low amount of features considering where the decimal point is placed on that large list of numbers. Promises are something that copiously get broken by software companies though now it seems as if something has come to change all of that, something amazing is finally here to stop the mediocrity and give aspiring filmmakers the leg up and that is Jashaka the new video editing software.

The program for windows pc’s and mac and even linux called Jahshaka has all of the features you’d want and end up paying hundreds for at an unbeatable price, free.
The main selling point is definitely the price point but not to be neglected is the capabilities that this specific software has are definitely amazing, when realizing that new packs with bonus features are able to be unlocked and for free no less be content at a good purchase.

Furthermore , this device allows fast editing, animation over direct video, the ability to create custom music for your project that the pro’s use, and even the capability to paint and design over moving video. This all comes standard! Being able to jump into the game as a filmmaker and work with any resolution of film to develop into your own decent indie’ project is something I would strive to achieve. The site holds many tutorials and various user tips on doing the copious amounts of editing techniques related to film .

Out of all of its potential capabilities I am definitely switching from the conventional movie maker on my windows pc.

The jump from tradition to high end.

From the article Revolution or Evolution? By Meg Thayer found on: http://www.cameraguild.com/technology/Revolution_Evolution.htm

Lately with film releases the use of high definition cameras is in high demand , while some traditionalists still use the conventional film there is a large question to the aspiring director

New? or Old?

Many filmmakers believe that the older film cameras have gone the way of the dinasaurs, regardless of the fact that the arguement is split in half between the traditionalists who have made editing, and cinematography into an art form via the older " outdated " form of equipment. A big arguement for the usage of hi def is the fact it can be cost efficent, where as it is expensive for lighting sound etc. mostly though the arguements main spokesmen for change are the high definition camera manufacturers who went directly to the executives and producers omitting the filmmakers entirely I suppose if you want to win get to the head of the snake instead of the body.

Now all slamming aside, i use a hi def camera for my projects because i like the quality, though that doesn't mean i beleive in the annihalation of all film based camera's ( such as 35mm etc.)

I would like to experiment in both mediums as both deliver equal results when transmitted in a high definition brodcast.

The bells and whistles are the big attraction to the high definition cameras with such features as a 360 degree shutter angle ( not able to be done by conventional film cameras) in most cases it can save a couple of bucks' when your shooting but simply viewing that you also have to add in the fact that time is money and edting either takes alot of time sometimes more in Hi def, and there is also the fact that in the long run high def cameras are quite expensive for average filmmakers , which in most cases causes some to just call themselves patriots to a long lived tradition.

If i can get a camera for cheap, i'll use it when shooting, the main concern is definately how much of your budget you eat up buying the materials fixing up the sets etc. so the war will go on and i'll continue with my opinion both are good go with what you want to spend on, if you want so many additional features the maual is the size of a dictionary go with the latest hi def stuff and if you want basics go with the basics just be prepared to spend a little extra for sound and lighting.
