5 of the best budget movie-making gadgets

Philips PicoPix PPX 1430 £280

Once you've whipped your debut up to shape on iMovie or a Final Cut Pro free trial, all that's left to do is invite everyone you know round to watch your Oscar contender. For a Be Kind Rewind moment on a budget, Philips' latest pico projector produces a six feet (or so) wide image on your wall with a bright picture once you've drawn the blinds. Plus you could buy 80 for the same price as this £23,000 projector.
