Hello,
I have been running a drupal site for a couple years now, but it had frequent errors and issues (due to me meddling around and not knowing what i was doing). Recently we did a server upgrade and lost the whole site, we had a backup but its quite old, so we decided to start completly anew. We tried using joomla, however, i came running back to drupal.
Anyway i figured since were starting anew, i should do it right this time, i was wondering if anyone has any tips or favourite must have modules (particulary for organizing content, integrating video and gallery 2) ,with that heres the project;
The website will primarily be a video site, but will have articles and hopefully a small community. I need to be able to completly customize the front page and would like to have each section of the site and each sections front page a different template. I want the site to be interactive, and will utilize rss feeds. I will also like to share the users across multiple drupal sites.
any suggestions would be apreciated.

For just about any media, I like the http://drupal.org/project/swftools module (it handles flvs, mp3s, and even images using simpleviewer). If you for users to be able to upload their own video, see the http://drupal.org/project/flashvideo module. For image galleries like recommend the method described at http://www.lullabot.com/articles/photo-galleries-views-attach (even over integration with a 3rd party module like gallery2).
Of course, cck and views are a must. I also install admin_menu on every site. You may wish to consider panels as well.
