: - you basically asked, "How do I make a movie?" How does one answer such a question? If you really are that uninformed- and don't take that as a slam, I'm sure you're young and passionate but your question was so vague that it really did seem like you don't know much at all- then you need to do some of your own homework and learn a whole lot more before you even entertain the notion of making a film.
: Seriously, go read some books on filmmaking or take some classes and learn some more background on filmmaking before you even consider picking up a camera and trying to make one. That's about all the advice I can give you at the moment. If you have some question after you've done your homework and have some working knowledge of what you want to do, then come back and ask and I'll be glad to help.

: : I know the staff can't answer every question. I don't blame anybody, it just feels weird when you post a question a few times with no response what so ever. If anybody can help me I would appreciate an answer. I've written a few scripts and would like to know what would be the best way to start filming it. Could I just use a store bought handheld or should I purchase some indusrty standard? I have no background in film what so ever. I have bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and realized after I graduated that that was not the field for me. Film is in my heart but not within my understanding. Any suggestions..........
