$$$$$$$$$$$	Can't Post

Hi everyone. Im only 15 but I have a passion for videography. As much as I love it, sometimes I think about giving it up because it is very expensive to buy the equipment needed. Does anyone know how I can make a few extra bucks here and there with my videocamera? I have a Canon GL1. Thanks, Robert

You already have everything you need to indulge your passion for videography: a camcorder. You don't need thousands of dollars worth of lighting, audio, and editing gear to just get with some friends and make a movie.
I know...that doesn't help. You want ALL the neat bells and whistles. Me, too. So: There are lots of business angles that you can get into without much more equipment than just your camera. Inventory videos, for one. Videotaping grammar school plays and selling copies to parents. Hiring yourself out as a second camera to a local wedding videographer.
