First I had a look at all that digital stuff which promises the ability of shooting movies to everyone. But after a quite long evaluation period I still wasn't sure what camera would really match my needs. I restarted to make photos in b/w and to develop them by my own - which was the fundamental experience that pushed me to the decision to buy a 16mm movie camera. In the meantime I also added a super 8 camera to the equipment. They both had to be revised of course. But I'm sure I don't have to throw them away in four or five years because they're damaged or they record on an old digital format.

For cutting I chose Lightworks by EditShare. It's free, and I prefer its workflow to anything else I tried out.

I use microphones from Schoeps and Oktava. I rarely use shot gun microphones as I made better experiences with my studio dedicated gear, most of all for inside locations.
