    Hi Andy,

    I think it's very good. I'm glad to see someone doing it for the love of making film. Well done, that's better than some of the stuff I see on TV3.

    Well done, keep it up. BTW what's your kit for camera and sound?

    Haha thanks a million ! Seriously thanks.

    I don't think it will be showing at Cannes any day soon but I would love to be there maybe one day haha.

    I use my Canon EOS 550D with the kit lens (15mm-55mm)

    Then for sound I use a Zoom H2 separate from the camera. But it is a very make shift "on location" sound source. As i do not own a boom pole or shock absorber or anything, so i am heavily relying on someone with a steady hand for moving scenes. haha

    That was the first time i had used the Zoom during a short film actually, otherwise i have just used it for music recording and voiceovers etc.

    The sound is good for a H2, I was thinking of getting one of the Zoom H1 because I don't need the best sound but I do need some wind break.

    Make a boom pole from an old brush handle and some cable ties, that's what we all do :)

    Keep at it, you might just get your name in lights yet.

    haha thanks man :) seriously! This film along with a few others are heading into youth festivals soon. I placed Top 20 in the Fresh Film Festival final last march.

    I'll give that trick a go with the broom. But the H2 is really sensitive to any knocks or movement. Yeah get the H1 :) or get two haha, all the zooms are just great recorders.

    And yeah wind is a killer, i found with a little seinnheisser shotgun i was using for a bit, the zoom is surprisingly good on location, and is also great because you can adjust all the audio levels.
