What's the daily rent charge?

Indeed. That's my plan. First, I'm going to rent, not purchase. Second, I wonder if everything on that list is of a real pro level. For instance, I guess the Tascam DR-40 or the Roland R-26 aren't. Therefore I need a more focused list. I know. Having no other choice, I'll shoot (and record...

"Hollywood" feature movie.

Thanks. I can some it up by saying that both video and audio will be of a technical quality qualified for feature movies.

:)

Thanks, both.

Thanks. They broadcast 25 fps, they accept films of all frame rates and convert them to the broadcasting standard, 25 fps. My question was about what will look best, potentially for both broadcasting and screening. Yes, I know it voids warranty and that Canon isn't responsible. Any horror...

I'm going to start shooting a documentary soon, possibly next week. It is based on a marvelous and magnificent story, that sounds like a fairly tale, thou it's a true one, told by a retired army general. Because of the story is so good, it has potential for screening on festivals (should it be...

Thanks. There is a long way for me to go before looking for festivals. First I need to shoot, on my own, the straight documentary part, where few people narrate their story to the camera (each individual separately). Only after I'll have the full text of all the stories (testimonies), I'll be...

Sit down interview, or, rather, 1 person at a time narrates a story to the camera and mike. That's the first part. Should I get at the second part (docu-drama), it will be if and when there will be sponsors.

Thanks again. Please let me elaborate my considerations and struggle. The documentary I have in mind is based on a magnificent story, that sounds like a fairly tale, thou it's a true one, told by a retired army general. Because of the story is so good, it has potential for screening on...

Thanks. I'll continue the audio discussion on the Equipment & Gear forum, later on.

Thanks. My knowledge and (far past) experience with audio is better that in photography and cinematography. I worked for 10 years as a maintenance engineer and sound engineer in Israeli Broadcasting Service. In movies I worked only as an assistant director and cinematographer (in documentaries)...

Thanks.

Thanks. How about 50mm prime, Canon or Sigma?

Right now, very little, only for purchasing the mandatory equipment I cannot rent. When the first part will be done (strictly documentary, 1 on1 interviews), possibly budget will come from local organizations supporting documentaries.

P.S, The film will be straight documentary in part, and docu-drama in part. The film would probably be broadcasted on local HD TV, possibly also on cinemateque theaters. So the technical quality should be adequate.

Thanks. Any recommendations for audio equipment and lenses?

Thanks. I'll use an external sound recorder, possibly the Zoom H4n. Thus, my question is strictly for image quality.

I'm about to start my first (and possibly last) documentary. The budget comes from my own pocket, and being retired (from Israel), it is extremely tight. Full HD is mandatory. I'll use only manual focus. I own Canon 7D and few zoom lenses. For best image quality (within my tight budget), my...
