I know I need a boom mic, stand, camera but what else? is there extra cords I need to get? and how do I know if the microphone attaches to the camera? thanks so much!
the dumps, near large metropolitan areas are in serious troubleremember the famous new york garbage barge, that traveled the oceans for several months? i think it eventually was sent back to new york to be dealt withthe more stuff that gets recycled, the less waste there is that has to go to the dumpthat's a very good thing.
If it was my low-budget project, at a minimum: Sony HDR-FX1000 (two or three preferred) Fostex DC R302 Sennheiser G3 wireless lavaliere with portable base station (2) Audio Technica AT-8015 Tripod (Bogen-Manfrotto) Camera crane (Kessler) and counter weights Steadycam vest system lighting/reflector (shinys) dolly/track system power supplies, batteries, cables, video monitor (for the camera at the end of the crane), LANC, cases and bunches of others stuffA grip truck+crew and equipment can be hiredAnd all this assumes the computer planned for editingAnd we don't even know what the project story-line isThe boom mic, stand, camera are merely a few parts to a much bigger systemThen there's the script outline, story-boarding, script, shot list/project plan, talent, wardrobe, makeup, permits, legal, stunts, drivers, and LOTS moreYour questions indicate you have never been on a set of a production or used any of this sort of equipmentRather than jumping into a low budget film you will be doing yourself a favor by taking some classes and learning about how all this stuff works together, firstnot after you have wasted a bunch of money working on the low budget film project.
