VillageBoi: @Prof, yes you are right. It seems anything at all Nigerian falls under the brand name 'Nollywood' - that really is the current true status.

speedyboi: Which TV station uses this tagline: "Everything you think you know about Africa is about to change, forever!"

speedyboi: No oo. You are responsible for marketing and publicity!

What silverbird does on their tv station is not marketing. They only advertise the movies showing in their cinemas at the moment. It doesn't matter whether they are the distributor of the film or not.

speedyboi: If you are looking for distributors for your 'Film' for theatrical release; Blue pictures and Silverbird come to mind. And Talking Drum Entertainment for International Release.

For DVD release (For a 'film'); Nollywood Distributions comes to mind.

For Online Releases; Doboxtv, Distrify, OHBox and even Irokotv comes to mind. Even Amazon for United states Audience

Just note that; your movie must be really worth it for these platforms (especially the theatrical distributors) to strike a deal with you.

Originalsly: Really?...be careful of what vaccines your child is given or your child may end up being autistic or worse. Vaccines is now a money making business....vaccine for every little thing and for things in the future...and vaccines that are experimental. Be wary of vaccines.

Tittos: This is how hollywood got to where they are. Movie critics who point out the errors of the movies and intelligent directors who would spend extra cash to make sure subsequent movies are more perfect.

deolascope: d) The picture quality, sound and background music was perfect!

VillageBoi: That is just totally stewpeed of them! If na so then no more liking or commenting... simples! I hate 'Google+' with a vengeance.

speedyboi: More like you should buy us!

VillageBoi: Hmmmm very, very difficult question and a question I hardly ever answer 'directly'. Normally I would have to find out what sort of filming the person wants to do and much more - DSLRs are not that easy to use 'well'. But I already know you know quite a bit so...

Straight up I can say of the 3 choices above you can immediately remove the 7D... One of my DSLRs is a 7D - I love it to bits BUT they can/do overheat in Naija and it's also the oldest of the 3 mentioned. Rumour is there should be a 7D mark II soon'ish'.

DSLRs only really work with 'rigging'... so consider that you'll be spending a helluva lot more than just a DSLR. Think of a shoulder mount, microphones and audio recorder like a Zoom H4n, Tascam or Juicedlink. 15mm rails, follow focus and so on.

Back to the cams mentioned. If I were buying TODAY for 'video' I would go for the 70D with 'stm' lenses simply because it's the ONLY Canon DSLR that has 'useable' autofocus during video mode. In general DSLRs are more suited to 'narrative' work and much harder to use for documentary stuff... the whale go don jump out of water, swallow fisherman and reach bottom of ocean and born pikin before you get 'critical' focus and exposure on one of these things hahaha.

Of the bunch the 70D makes more sense. BUT everything will be a 1.6 crop compared to a full frame camera like the 5D - that doesn't really bother anyone as the cropped sensor cams are in 'reality' much closer to the exact size if you were shooting on 35mm film. You will have to spend money on much wider lenses - the absolutely brilliant Tokina 11-16mm does just fine on a crop sensor
