I definitely would say "Go for it!" .. the younger you start, the better, as you will learn a whole lot more in your career.

Are you planning to purchase a camera for your film making?

I was looking at several models and the Panasonic AG-DVX 100A caught my eye. I've seen films and shows online shot using this camera and they have looked absolutely stunning. The 3-CCD 24p is professional grade and costs a couple grand. The quality of production it offers is magnificent.

I suggest watching short flicks, so you can get a good idea of the filming techniques used.

http://www.sevenohfive.com is simply amazing!
