Ted, Just so you know I am just getting my story out now! I am writing it on a tablet and then well draft it in Word (or ThinkFree Office). I am not planning or probably even renting a camera when i am ready to go to Production. HD is far beyond anything I would ever need. I am probably looking at single CCD Sony miniDV to transfer to DVD and to screen at film festivals. I am just starting out but it does not mean I know nothing. I recent someone stating I am not a pro because I do not use all the pro tools. Not all of us have the $$$ to blow. Did anyone ever consider this? Chris
