Hey all,
I'm hoping some experts in here can give some guidance on an upcoming
purchase of equipment I'm looking to make to expand my growing
multimedia business.
Right now, I do Graphic Design, Web Programming and Flash / Multimedia
Animation. I've worked with FCP and AE in the past, and now I'd like
to expand my skill-set to be able to offer Video Production services.
As a personal hobby I'd also like to start experimenting with special
effects shots, commercial product shots, etc on a green screen.
Originally I just wanted to get a steadicam and camera, but after
seeing the available equipment for the budget filmmaker, I've put
together a list of things I'd like to get while still staying below
the $10,000 mark:
$ 999.00 : Canon XL2
$ 799.00 : Glidecam 4000 Pro, with Arm & Vest
$1199.95: Glidecam CamCrane 200, with 7" LCD, Zoom Controller
$1785.00: Glidecam Vista Remote Pan/Tilt Head
$1560.00: IndieDolly w/4 sections straight track
$ 485.00: IndieDolly, 4 additional straight sections
Total Cost: Around $6800.
With this equipment and a green screen, I'm hoping I'll be able to
handle local commercials, special effects experiments, and maybe a low-
budget indie or two for some friends. I realize I'm probably doing a
disservice by getting a Stedicam knock-off, but I've heard Glidecam is
an acceptable low-budget alternative.
Any thoughts?
Take care,
.... Christopher
