i love editing vids, but i also love editing photos i just dont have a great or any photo editing system. i say theyre both fun if you know what your doing or learnig but id go with filming since i pretty much only do that

Its all personal choice. They can both be equally expensive, they are both different ball games.

it should be natural, like what you like more. You shouldn't have to ask someone.

exactly ^^^^
just do whatever you feel like doing. you shouldnt do something because of the programs you have. thats like saying because i have microsoft word im going to go publish a book. no. just do what you want, if anything.

filming usually takes a lot more time, money, and work. but in the end its sick.
photos are fun to shoot too though

well thanks guys. but i like doing both, i just dont have a lot of money. so once i get money ill go with filming after seeing Wyatt Howe's video.

filing in itself dose not take more time at all. filming a video, may take longer but filming in general dosent take longer.

as for money, both activitys cost the same i would say depending on the equipment and gear you get of course, you can get a nice HD handy cam for about 500, aswell as a average DSLR camera.

Although this can be argued now with SD card and HDD cameras, filming can be longer in a lot of cases due to capturing and editing. Capturing takes as long as the footage you want on the computer to be played back. Editing requires rendering, exporting, compressing. Digital photography can be a lot quick, just connect the camera, grab the pics, pop in photoshop, fux wit it and boom ya done. 35mm photo is a different story.

if a picture is worth a 1000 words. how much is a video worth??

 

[baze69]

[DavidCronin]

depends on length, i guess that means 1 frame=1000 words, i think you can do the math
