yeah that Sennheiser package sounds like a really good deal. might not hurt to check out some "lavs" if you have lots of dialogue. there might be some cheap workable ones at the radio shack.

alot of dv cams have inputs for external mics or you can purchase attachments so you can plug the mic straight into the cam and not have to worry about recording to something else/syncing etc. ill ask a buddy who does a bunch of bigger films what the sound guys recomend.

Mister S- musics is def dark and well written. you have any classical background? if you ever someone to mix your scores let me know. i have some really cool string noises.
