You could probably put together a decent kit from ebay, but a lot of it boils down to personal taste and what you're trying to make. Honestly without knowing either of those it's hard to write up a recommendation.

Most movies are under pressure from a tight schedule already. What makes him think they actually have the time to go back and re-record things?

The best advice I can give? Learn enough about how cameras work so you know what the cheapest piece of kit is that you can get away with using to get the results you want. Otherwise you're just throwing your money away for features you might not even use. Do this before plinking down $500 or...

Have you at least visited NYC before? Depending on where you're coming from it might or might not be a pretty massive culture shock. The competition for jobs can be pretty fierce though, lots of people wanting to live in New York and only so many openings. Plus you have the obscene costs of...

If your knowledge of DSLRs is pretty limited already you might run into some frustrations early on. Why not opt for a dedicated HD handicam instead? It can take months of practice with one to become familiar with all the settings and knobs and whirly-bits in a DSLR.

I've had mine for about two weeks now and so far I'm loving it for normal photography, though I ran into the limitations of the default kit lens pretty early on. (I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for shooting videos, though.)

Because you could film them while they were standing upright? Which I assume is how the op wants them to appear.

If you know a way to get me a threesome with Christina Hendricks and Kate Beckinsale I'm all ears.

Let me know when I can have interactive porn like in Star Trek.

Little bits and pieces might look off. Clothing and hair would move the wrong way, etc. Probably easiest to green screen it.

No reason you couldn't, but you'd lose the whole mysteeeeerious feeling if it's there all the time.

I think it depends on the type of message you're trying to get across. What's the overall goal? Will the hero learn from his recklessness as personal growth or will it just sort of fizzle out later on and not really mean anything? If the script's not internally consistent the audience is going...

There's an alleyway in a city like any other. Once a month at precisely midnight during the full moon a doorway appears for a few seconds. Nobody knows where it might lead or what happens if you step through; most people think it's an urban legend.

Always do your research before settling on a name. The last thing you want to do is find out that it's really the name of a well established studio that has the financial clout to sue you into oblivion.

I get the feeling the illusion would rather quickly fall apart. :P

Stop fretting over the things you can't control and focus on the things you can control. That will eliminate 99% of your problems in life anywhere.

What does your lighting setup look like right now?

Unless you're making promises of anything in the future, probably not as long as everyone understands what they're getting out of it. Just be sure you've made it absolutely crystal clear to him.

Well it can't be any worse than Superman Returns. I like Superman but that's one of the few movies I've nearly fell asleep in the middle of.
