Here's a reasonably priced starter kit for people with a video camera and wondering how they can use it to make films.
I don't necessarily buy the hype that you can learn everything here that you can learn in a film school, but it sure is cheaper. The one thing film schools do have is other people interested in learning and helping each other make movies! But before going to such a school, perhaps getting up to speed on some of the basics and of course learning some of the realities of film making, will not do you any harm.
And who knows, for some people, this may well be enough!
