This line.

LOL, Ra meant positive in the sense of affirmative e.g. "fire trucks are red" is a positive statement, "fire trucks are not green" is a negative statement - it has nothing to do with polarity.

Thanks, I would love to read them. I am going to have to buy a new camera. I only have a cheap, handheld one with no audio input.

This Canon camcorder shoots in HD (1080i and 720p I think), has a mic in and headphone out, those are pretty much the only 3 important specs for shooting a low budget movie. It's $400. More expensive versions of this have better image sensors and support 1080p but as long as it looks good on an above average size HD TV (let's say 45") that's what matters. 1080p should look fine on a projector if you submitted your movie to a film festival, I dunno about 1080i or 720p though.
If you wanted a "real" camera then RED makes Hollywood quality digital cameras http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Digital...ra_Company the most basic model would be around $4000 I think. DSLR still cameras that can shoot movies actually are even better quality than a RED camera, and slightly cheaper. But I think these are overkill, your movie would probably go straight to DVD and be distributed online so it just needs to be regular HD.
