I got home last night and was tooling around on the internet when I stumbled onto an interesting article by British filmmaker Chris Jones. He, like me had DVD copies of his movies destroyed in the Sony warehouse fire during the summer riots.

Chop The Price Of Filmmaking Softeware
Chop the price of film software
When film editor and shooter extraordinarire Christian Bell joined Raindance last spring we noticed he had the best filmmaking software kit of anyone we knew: just about every programme a filmmaker could ever need.
