i wont lie i fucking love buying stuff so I'm probably gona spend it all, maybe save like $200. I can either get a 13" macbook pro, have $360 left over to buy my jacket and goggles. Then sell the rest of my old outerwear and hopefully buy the matching pants and any other shit i need.

OR

I can NOT buy the macbook, buy an ounce of weed, 8 foot camera crane, matching XXL planet earth setup, oakley crowbars, 20 mini DV tapes, new helmet, gloves... and still have money left over.

I can run premier pro and afx perfectly fine with my PC but It would be nice to upgrade to mac and have something for trips and much quicker rendering times.


wat do u think?

other shit! editing videos on a 13 inch laptop would be mad annoying. I'd either get the other shit, or try to by some means get more money and get a dope ass like 15.4 macbook pro or somethin. But I'd prolly just get that other list of stuff, except for the 8 foot whatever you called it, I'd just pocket some more dough instead of gettin that, assuming that you prolly wouldn't really use it all the frequently.

hahahaha dude are YOU serious? I take this guys back 100%. Sure hes not working at the best fucking camera store out there, but working there for as long as he has im pretty sure he knows his shit on cameras, regardless if its lower end product, he will still be quite familiar with higher end shit, even tho he doesnt sell it. he knows the fundamentals of it. so maybe "it aint worth shit" but you, sir, dont seem to be an  intelligent  individual. But thanks for comming out

your wrong, only mexican weed is less than 2000 a lb in the US

buy an HP and either sit on it selling sacks and double your money or flip it in big bags as fast as you can making a couple hundred per HP

when you have like 5 grand, then buy what ever it is that you want

if your under 17 or 18, then no one else your age will be buying weight anywhere near yours, so you can offer better deals and still make more money; OR sell to all your friends who buy OZs and and either give them deals or make nice cash.

if you dont know where to get a an HP, go where you would for an O and ask, if they cant their supplier can (try and meet their connection and dont front your cash)

Go with the computer ugprades and camera stuff...

a couple cranes and maybe some cam tracks to roll down when your filming....

that will pay off more than a HP of weed... lol

that would be cool except helicopter chartering is about $10 a minute... so you would get a 2.5 hours... but you could prolly heli-ski for a few days with 1500. i would go option 2. but dont buy oakleys cause thier shit is made in sweatshops.

eh. if you dont like it then you dont like it. from what ive fooled around with, pinnacle's newest version is the easiest and best. adobe is also great so im not gonna take anything away from it. one thing i dont know if the difference between using it with macs and pcs. i know they are compatable but im not sure if its the best.

then lets just say its for pc. premiere is still far better and way easier to use. if pinnacle was so great then everyone would be using it. they arent. probably because its not. you could have finished this whole conversation if you woulda just said that pinnacle was the best for the money. i doubt anyone would have argued. but IMO its still not worth it. like the guy a few up said. its for moms and dads.
