Few Questions

Alright, I have a few questions I want to throw out there. First of all, how expensive would it be to rent a DVX-100A? the best bet would be to become good friends with someone who has one. . . but I would like to know if anyone has ever done this before. I have a VX2100 but wouldn't mind using the 100A's 24P mode. . .

Also I'm working on a documentary-type of video. It's about Touch. How do you touch someone? Touch was the first method of communication and is also a method of healing. I'm working with a man who teaches massage in Irvine to look into this topic and just see where it goes. It's interesting to watch because you see children very comfortable with touching others, they'll run up to you and just wrap their arms around anyone, but as we get older we seem to get uncomfortable with it, with all these taboos, etc. That's the basic concept, there's a bit more but it's still being developed. . .So if anyone might be interested in helping out or something feel free to let me know! You can email me too. . . so yeah. There's my 2 cents.

I've seen rental rates for the DVX-100A for as little as $100 a day all the way up to $300 a day with $200 to $250 being the norm I think...

As far as your doc on touch...

Sounds interesting... But it's the same thing as toddlers running around naked... They usually love doing it until they get older and develop more inhibitions... Hmmmm. Maybe a doc on how we develop our inhibitions... LOL.

Go for it...

I have. I rent often. It's a great way to get to know a new camera as soon as it comes out.

As FilmJumper notes, rates can vary.

The day rate can be negotiated as can the weekly rate. Some places do a 2.5 or a 3 day week.

I have URL's to dozens of rental houses. But it wouldn't do you much good to get a great rate in Austin if you are in Boston. Care to tell us where you are?
