A special filter is required for the camera to cut down the sodium flare on the torch so you can see what is going on. I already have one of those filters, so that's no problem. I don't really need any major sound editing or anything. Basically it will be me talking while I'm working, so it would require a microphone for audio input. Most of the shots during video taping will probably be able to be done with the camera still on a tripod.

One of the important things, however, is a good, functioning DVD menu when it's done, so that is something I'm definitely looking for.
