hey guys…just need to get a few questions answered. as some of you know, i’m new here. i’m just now getting into film. i’ve written a script and i’m getting it going and off the ground. but, here some questions i need answered.
My Setup: i’m getting a new Sony FX-1 HDV camera, BOXX Computer with a few upgrades, camera crane, and Adobe Production Studio. My friend is getting a field monitor, some Shotgun mics and lighting equiptnment. here my questions.
*Will ANY shotgun Mic conect strait to the Sony FX-1, or do you need adapters and stuff like that. if thats the case, what do i need.
*What lighting shoud we get. our movie is about half outdoors, and on location and won’t have a power source. the other half is indoors, or near a power source.
*What kind of monitor do we need to get? it needs to be something poritable. again, we won’t be around a power source, therefore, we need someway to power all this.
*What kind of Stabelizer will we need to have to have good steady slow shots? There a lot of dramatic shots, which i will want to do a lot of smooth, slow pushes, and not a whole lot of crazy movement.
*The camera crane i’m lookin at doesn’t turn left or right (thats the camera portion) and i didn’t know if there is anything i can do to fix this problem.
Again, just a note, a lot of this movie is outdoors, and will not have a power suplise. i’m not sure if we need a generator, or something of the sourt. any help is greatly appriciated. thanks guys.
