I already posted in non ski gabber, then got sent this way;
Like the title says, I want to get into filming. I don't have a really expensive camera, but I do have a basic coolpix camera that shoots in 12 megapixels. I have a ghetto little gopro handle for it and I'm currently out of skiing due to an acl injury. I'm thinking about filming anything just for some practice like; A day in the life of my dog, a rehab edit etc. If you guys have any suggestions or tips on how to get started please let me know! I appreciate the help NS.

Sorry about your knee, I too have been out all season with a badly broken wrist so I feel your pain. Similarly, I also busted out my camera and got back into filming. Of course, it's not skiing footage I'm getting, more just videos of stuff my friends and I do like our weekend camping trip at the ocean etc.

From what it sounds like, you have a point and shoot camera? Those will do the job but it'd be good to step up to something that's actually meant to shoot video. Honestly I can't tell you what to film, but there is really no bad way to go about it. Making movies is a ton of fun however you do it. Making music videos with friends can be a good way to gain experience with your camera or do an MTV Cribs style video.

What you will want to get is a good editing program. iMovie / windows live movie maker will get it done, but they are very limited. I use Adobe premiere pro CS5.5 and I have very few complaints. Hope your foray into the video world goes well.
