What sort of material did you use to cover the Yoda and Jedi puppets? It's beautiful!

Hey Buck - Is that a Sony Digi8 camera?

Is that what you use? 'cuz your picture quality in "Bear Town" is fantastic!

Thanks. Bear Town was shot with a Canon ZR-65. Really you can get good image quality on almost anything with proper lighting though.

Looking swell there Buck. Buck's right, lighting is everything. I have a Canon Optura 20 and it shoots great footage with the right lighting. Also if you want great quality, Mini DV is the format to go with.

MiniDV is pretty good, but after shooting on it for a few years I'm switching to DVCAM because I find the quality of the tapes is better. It's more expensive, but there are fewer dropped frames and superior image quality.
