Re: Amv Makers Make Movies?
I've recently got into Film, through a wonderful program in my school(they provide students a Panasonic AG-HVX200 and HPX500 then leave the yearbook DVD and weekly school show to us).
I've done some short films, (filming&editing etc.) will be working on one hopefully, for the OC film festival coming later this year =D

At last year's AWA there were some short films shot by former AMV editors (Nightowl, and I'm drawing a blank on the other guy, though I had a much more lengthy conversation with him) that were actually quite interesting.

*raises hand*
Led a documentary team's scripting committee during my small time as an English major, and ended up editing the whole thing. The Documentary was about tobacco in college environments and the effects on those around them. It was used in a presentation that eventually made my college tobacco-free. [Granted, we have some eloquent speakers that helped out, but I like to think the video helped

It was actually pretty fun. We had a great guy from the music department that did the elevator music background noise, and the pre-film students did a great job filming it.

Re: Amv Makers Make Movies?
Wow its awesome to see so many people interested or doing film :3
Currently my classes are requiring me to do some projects once break is around i will get around to hosting them and sharing with you guys. Now the acting in most of mine is not top notch mainly because the short films where done each on a stranded of 10-15 hours apiece production time.
As for the DV20 its an outdated model but if its has the shoulder mount you can get some good shots with it, we have some at my college that i like to recommend to some people but its lower quality recording when compared with the DVX100 or HVX200 make most of them turn away.
Caster if you can get the Govenator in your T.6 film I'll watch it.

My film related stuff have been for promotional materials mainly. I've edited together ads for Eminence Orchestra some time ago, and have shot and edited promos for conventions here and there.

Re: Amv Makers Make Movies?
Relevant to this thread, I am currently looking at getting a pro-DV camera like I used to use when I worked in TV. I would prefer a JVC or a Canon, but this is one of the models I am looking at:
The AG-HMC70 provides entry-level professionals with an easy-to-use, high-quality, solid-state HD recording solution at an affordable price.
As the first shoulder-mount camcorder in Panasonic's professional AVCHD line-up, the HMC70 utilizes the new AVCHD High Profile video codec, which offers similar image quality to HDV 1080i at about half the bandwidth. This second-generation, affordable HD format offers longer recording times and half the storage requirement of older systems.
As easy to use as a digital camera, the HMC70 records onto standard SD/SDHC cards to assure a fast tapeless production workflow. It gives you fast access to content without fast forward or rewinding, and footage is immediately available to editing systems without the ingest delay and additional cost of a playback deck. SD and SDHC cards are widely available, and content can be played back in AVCHD-compatible consumer products with SD card slots, including Blu-ray players (Panasonic DMP-BD10AK Blu-ray Disc™ Player), Sony Playstation 3, computers (using an AVHCD decoder software), and a growing number of large HD flat screen displays and front or rear-screen projectors.
Using just one 16GB SDHC memory card, the HMC70 can record over 2.6 hours at 13Mbps, the HMC70's highest quality mode, or up to 6 hours at 6Mbps, the camera's extended recording mode.
