Producing it ourselves... I'm directing and a very good friend will be the DP. BTW: It's ok to use those instructions if it's for a good reason, but they should be used sparingly. Like any rule, the trick is to know when to break them ;-) > Shooting on film or video? Digital video... hopefully 24 fps HD, but that remains to be seen. We're looking at the Sony DSR500WS camera, and a couple of Panasonics. Simon
