I've a DSLR with crap attached to it. I'm just going to call the people and be up front about it, maybe they'll throw me a discount. Party rentals there are for only 2 hours and I would need significantly more time to film everything. The owners live on property so maybe they'll let me shoot on...

So I'm trying to organize my first music video shoot, and the main location I need is a local roller rink. The band has a very indie-90's sound, so I thought it was a good fit. Sooner or later I'm going to have to actually call these people (the owners) and see if they'll even consider letting...

I'm pretty young, and therefor grew up in a digital age around digital technology. I've only ever filmed on digital cameras with SD cards, but would very much like to give 8mm a try. When one of my relatives passed they left two, working, 8mm cameras(not Super8) and I held on to them. I would...

I was considering that, but how do I know which lenses will and will not fit the T2i?

"Yes, they are."

I usually don't listen to a certain genre of bands long enough for them to become my all-time "favorites", but lately I've been listening to a lot of these: Palomar, Black Kids, Mr. Gnome, Pomegranates, The Summer Pledge, etc.

Hi there. I felt like I should do the whole, "What's up guys, I'm new here" forum introduction, but I'm terrible at those. So let's just jump in to some camera talk. Over the summer I bought the Canon Rebel T2i/EOS 550D. Now, while the kit lens produces much better quality and clarity than any...
