So I am thinking about shooting an extremely low budget amateur film but not quite a short film, however I would like the film to look as nice as possible. In the interests of keeping costs down I don't anticipate myself making any film prints in the near future.
Assuming I have access to a Panasonic DVX100B for filming, would this be the most cost effective approach? As opposed to dealing with 16mm? I'm aware that film ultimately would look better than DV but would probably end up costing much more.
I guess in the end my question would be...if I were attempting to make a 60 to 90 minute film and edit it myself, what kind of money would I be looking at considering I could borrow the camera? And I don't anticipate myself actually submitting it to any film festivals but I would like it to look on par with those films if I were to transfer it to actual film for viewing. Shot with 24p and hopefully decent audio.
Thanks in advance.
