equipment to buy
CAMS production classes require students buy a 500 GB harddrive with Firewire 800 and USB. CAMS recommends bus-powered, ruggedized hard drives of 1 TB or larger. An hour of footage transcoded as Apple ProRes 422 can take about 65 GB of space on your drive.
CAMS recommends students checking out production gear buy a pair of closed-back, over-the-ear headphones such as Sony MDR-V6 or MDR-7506.
Depending on how much footage students plan to shoot at one time, you may wish to buy additional Class 10 SD card(s) of your own in denominations of 16 GB or more from primary manufacturers Lexar or SanDisk. To give a sense of scale, one hour of footage shot at maximum quality takes about:
-21 GB of space on SD/SDHC/SDXC card on a Canon 60D or
-11 GB of space on SD/SDHC card on a Sony HXR-NX5U.
