Hello all,
I am working on my first film project, and I need some help with a few things. I am working on a script now. I have my cast and crew signed on, locations locked in, shot list, storyboard, even props and costumes done. I was going to borrow some equipment from my university, but, long story short, that fell through. SO... I need equipment, a couple cameras, sound equipment, lighting. My challenge is that I need to spend as little as possible, but still create something that's... well... not crap. I don't know anybody who owns any of these things, and my local PBS station isn't well-known for their generosity in loaning their things.
My second challenge is that my main location- the family barn- has no electricity. It doesn't even have the capacity to be hardwired. So how do I power everything? There are no friendly neighbors nearby from whom I could "borrow" power from. I have access to a generator, but the thing is so loud that it drowns out normal conversation.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
