So here is my 20c contribution:
STEADICAM
You want to achieve the best possible shots.
You WILL achieve tha best possible shots.
So i will tell you how to make a $14.00 steadicam mount. This is to avoid those amateurish shakes you see in amateur films. Steadycams (or camera stabilizers) are attachments used to capture smooth looking video even when the camera and camera operator are in motion.

DOLLYCAM.
A dolly is a cam mounted on a moving carriage. A cheap way to reproduce this is by mounting a cam on a wheelchair.

Honestly, Get a life. and why it is you have that material in your documents is beyond me. hell, whatever floats your boat. But please, do it in the privacy of your own home, not here. I'm not 100% on why you are doing this, maybe it is because you lack what we humans call a "life".
Leave this thread alone, It's a good thread. Or for that matter, leave the forums alone please.
well, the batteries you use could be worth alot, its really all on what type you use, my grandpa has a very nice cam, and he got it brand new(this was 2years ago) and when he lost a battery, it was like $47 for a new one, but he just said "forget it" and he did so he just used the back up one that came with it, and now those batteries are like $15 they got real cheap, but who am i to comment on this thread i got lost way up there like 5 posts up.
I'm starting film school next semester. I'm pretty excited about it. Some friends and I have made several short movies that are, honestly, nothing to write home about. We are getting ready to start our first actual big project though. Still working out the budgeting and whatnot but it's going to be cool. My best friend and I have been working on the script. Good luck becoming a film maker; it's a competetive field but if you have the passion and determination you can make it.
