I caught my camera on some megaprims, and you know how funky the angles can get? Well, I was able to take some insanely cool screenshots that I will have to share when I get home ... but it also inspired me to think about doing "trailer" for the project I am working on.

I also purchased this "3d mouse" which is supposed to give me cool control over camera angles and figured now's the best excuse to sit down and try to do a machinima project.

Back in highschool, I had taken a class on digital video editing (adobe premier) and picked it up pretty quick. I've also done stuff in quicktime pro. I don't think i'm too foreign to video editing so I think I can whip something up.. however, can someone recommend some software to consider?

I know i'll need a video capturing software, and then, digital editing.

I have no clue as to what to use for capturing the video ... digital editing, I'm thinking premier? I'd like to use something w/ a lot of community support to it and preferably, something w/ easy plug-ins for cool effects (like extensions).

Any help on either software or setup would be much appreciated! I am sure i will come back once setup and bug you all for techniques


EDIT: So I had done some googling and found Eric Linden's advice. It's a bit dated, but wondering if FRAPS is still the best choice for video capturing? I am going to peruse SLX to see if there's some in-world stuff I might be able to use .. if you have any recommendations, it would be much appreciated !
