Choosing what filmmaking equipment for your film is essential. You can not expect to have a great movie without having tripods to hold up your camcorder, for instance. Some very basic filmmaking equipment you should have include tripods, compact discs, camera, camcorders, lighting lamps, and carrying cases.

Check the weather forecast, for example, to prevent rainy day postponements. If it is indoors, make sure you have the right location to setup equipment and have you film set ready.

Question by Chris: What program do filmmakers use to create cg effects?
What program do filmmakers use to create special effects, whether it be giant robots in Transformers or particle effects like explosions and such in 300? I have seen videos where it looks like they create the cg object in 3D and layer it over the existing footage. How do they do that? Or is there some sort of specialized program for this? Just wondering since I finished watching Next and feel like trying something similar.
