I am ready to shoot! Well, kinda. I am a student looking forward to the inner workings of the film world. But instead of the standard "what is a good cheap beginners camera", I would like to ask what is a GOOD camera.
I am want to explore the ins and outs of film, and imagine shooting hundreds of feet in the process of learning how to have everything come together. I have no project as of this moment, just a desire to learn the medium so that when an idea (I am working on one) finally gels I will know what the heck I am doing. I am looking for something beyond the standard "beginners" camera. The Super 16mm format is what I have chosen. I need a camera that is capable of shooting film worthy to be feature. Every major option and control needs to be acounted for. I plan on experimenting, and need the flexibility to learn. I would like thie same camera to be able to produce a finished product. I know there are forums and posts kind of covering this, but I need to combine them here for my peace of mind a clarity. After all, this will be my creative device, and a substantial investment.
Thanks in advance,
