As someone who works in more political documentary, I'm sympathetic to
your desire to make something that you feel will help improve the
world. That's great, but you need to be honest about what you're
trying to do, who you're trying to do it for, and what is required for
that. If you want to make a short to post on youtube that is forwarded
around the world a million times and has great content, the equipment
you're using will be forgiven on a lot of levels because the format
lessens the technical expectations of the viewer. If you think you are
a known speaker with a vocal following and you want to go on tour,
give talks, AND you think you will be so powerful that the audience
will want to get a copy to share with people who weren't able to
attend, maybe, even then, you could sell a few low budget DVDs. If
you're a nice guy, but basically unknown, and you want to make some
ultralow budget DVDs that you want to sell online from the video off
your digital camera, you should give it up.
