moving on to movie making

[Rising Phoenix]

For my project named "Breasts" I want portraits, still photos ( I have two great photographers lined up for the project, one male, one female) but I want a big part of it to be documentary.....I found a great mini dvd camcorder at Best Buy for 269.....very compatible with Mac, which I have......

I am saving my money for my breast reduction surgery ( 50/50 that it will be covered by insurance, have a free lawyer working with me to make that happen)

and on Tuesday I am meeting with a personal trainer/ nutritionist......one on one, specializes in clients with illness.......sliding scale......probably about 70 a month + transportation......will know more def on tuesday......

should I dish out the money for my vision to come to light.......

1. Well you might want to shop the internet and see if you can get it cheaper than best buy

still camcorders have come a long way. For a first project and inexpensive camcorder might be the way to go. Good luck

PS- Love the title, in my opinion you can never go wrong with a project called "breasts".:evilgrin:

2. lol

thanks.....the perc with best buy is that I can pick it up tomorrow and start the project tomorrow, since I am spending a few days at Darby's, one of the artists working on it with me.

3. Neat, what's the concept of the project?

I say go for it. (Though if it'll set you back on the savings for the reductino, I'd personally be hesitant.)

4. the concept

is before, during and after the surgery from a feminist point of view, as well as from a male point of view......I have many portraits and am waiting for the still photos....

5. Cool.

The documentary aspect would add an interesting dimension to that.

9. I need to find a job that doens't consume my whole life so I can try to get started on such things.

A friend of mine and I have been planning an animation collaboration for a while now but haven't have the time. Plus there's the actual filmmaking I need to procure a camera for. My current life would not be conducive to any sort of shooting schedule, haha.
