It’s amazing to me how many things you discover you need once you decide to make the switch from screenwriter to filmmaker!! I used to just need some legal pads, pens and coffee!! Here are a few items I’ve picked up. I use the Sony Vegas Editing Software, but I included two other options just in case.
