: I shot and completed A BETTER PLACE in 16mm for a grand total of
about $50,000. NO DV CAMERA THAT CAN APPROACH THE
QUALITY OF 16MM is this cheap. You'd need a High-Def camera for
that, and that would end up costing way more than it cost for me to
shoot in 16mm. Besides, I like film better, so the short answer is, no.

Vincent-
sorry I didn't mean to offend you or anything like that. I'll will be the first
to admit that I don't know jack shit about filmmaking but i'm very
interested in it. In the last 2-3 months I've seen a lot of talk about DV,
some of it from people who if nothing else I'd think know a little about
filmmaking like SPIKE LEE and GEORGE LUCUS. Both singing it's
praises. That seemed interesting to me and unless I'm missing
something huge, which is a giant possibilty, a camera like the
Cannon XL-1 souped up with all pro parts is only like $6,000 and that
provides the best image quality on the market. It can also be
transfered to film after final editing for almost idential results as being
on film from the begining. That's what I've been told, as I said I have
nothing to base this on myself. but al that aside, I see I worded my
original question wrong. I didn't mean to ask if you would have used
DV, i meant if you had done something differetly (for example used
DV) and all the sudden had $25,000 extra to play with, what MORE or
DIFFERNTLY would you have done. Know what I mean, sorry for the
confusion.
