My first short film, I edited it and filmed it hand held with no rig. Any advice would be great :) (I'm not educated in film making so please go easy on me)

That was filmed with a Nikkor lens :) thanks for the advice I really need a solution to record audio

Thanks, its all a learning curve for me :) The sound is horrible no doubt, that's what you get for using the on board sound of the 7D microphone :( Thanks for the feedback, glad I was able to get the focus pulls looking okay

Yeah man sound was an issue, I used the on board sound of the 7D which is never good :(

Thanks those are some useful tips. My next purchase will be a video tripod so I can get a more stable shot. The audio really sets the mood in the video I think. I wanted it to seem a little rough around the edges due to the subject matter being "unsigned hip hop". I really struggled with the editing, colour grading and other adjustments in post as I had never done any of that before. Thanks again for taking the time to write something :)

Edit: Oh and just one point I disagree with... I don't think anyone can get achieve a "pretty picture". I've seen some god awful stuff filmed with otherwise great cameras like the Scarlett X and amazing glass like the Zeiss CP2.

I agree. Here is an example of a more mature drummer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BkY98CUjQ4
