yeh it would be illegal because i would be using copyrighted elements combined with my new elements to show the finished clips. I don't do these edits for any form of reward so i would never sell any DVD's. I'll be posting the behind the scenes videos online like a sort of video blog and they'll probably be on the DVD-9 too (or maybe a full making of DVD after the saga is finished)
The problem is that without the use of a decent camcorder all this is just a pipedream
