That's a small budget, I'd go with a 14-42 kit lens (it's slow) then maybe some Vintage glass to fill up the roster. a 50mm f1.4, a 100mm 2.8 and maybe a 25mm 2.8. I don't know of any decent zooms for 500 bucks except for the 45mm-200mm m43 but that lens is diffficult indoors.

I'm guessing, but I agree with Paul. They'd blast a lot of light but control it strategically. I'm thinking they didn't shoot wide open either, since that would've shallowed up the focus.

The sensor is just a little smaller than m43 and accompanying crop factor isn't much worse. You'll still get your shallow DOF if you want, and you can get wide enough. Most m43'ers (GH2, etc) are happy. This camera has gnarly specs. Wish I had one. If I had it, I'd probably rarely shoot RAW...

EX1 is long in the tooth and even it's day wasn't a 6k camera. But it's still really good. A clean, sharp image. It's got a bigger sensor than the NX so I'd go with it were it my call. Can you use both? See if you can match the footage. Actually that's a good thing to do anyway, test both cams.

Best advice here is get the free trial versions.

Gamechanger. Sensor is between 16mm and 35mm. Big enough! 13 stops of latitude! Gulp.

I think it's the kiss of death. ADR?

They're badass.

i think it's funny. You've got great performers. Mockumentary? They're always funny.

Why do you shoot at one rate and edit in another? You're usually better off keeping it consistent.

A true indie would never use real gaffer's tape. Duct or masking only. Gaffer's tape is for fascists.

A decent boom mic sounds better than even the best lav...all else being equal. Note: A Zoom h4n duct taped to a boompole isn't considered a "Decent boom mic".

Yep. Typical feature costs more than 100 million to make, so to manage risk, studios love to stick to an established brand/pre existing material. Risk aversion.

Having a fan base has nothing to do with a track record. They are different things Screenwriters don't have fanbases except among their peers.

Mabuhay! I lived in Philippines for a long time. Cebu/Bohol.

Looks like there's some potential for humor there and a lot of the performers look like they have some comic chops. Love the premise. I'd like to suggest you go with a straight V/o, perhaps you don't know, but literally every student film ever made in the Western Hemisphere begins with a guy...

I don't think there's any such thing as a screenwriter with a "Fanbase". Even A list screenwriters are nobodies to the public, and schmucks with Underwoods to the tastemakers. :ike you say, good writing is good writing is good writing. Period. The trick is for an outsider to get the script in...

It was recently reported that mad Russian hacker Vitaliy Kiselev had been "Purchased" by Panasonic as a developer. The glorious days of turbocharging the beloved GH2 via Vitaliy's amazing hacks were apparently over. He'd left the Jedi Knights to join the Dark Side. Except the whole thing was an...

Wow, that UK educational system is confusing. Easy thing is move to LA, enroll at Santa Monica City College. Weather is better.
