Hello. I am a sculptor about to launch on making a twenty minute art film. I shot still photo mostly on a Mamiya for years and use a mid-range older lumix in studio for documentation but know very little about how to spec out and arrange a working, affordable rig for a project like this.
I'm hoping the kindness and expertise of forum members can help me confidently identify a reasonable, versatile rig for between 1-2K, used and hopefully even cheaper. Most of the film will be shot at a fairly wide angle but there will some extremely tight shots and possibly macro stuff as well. I'm handy and can build my own lighting and probably put together working additional materials - it is the camera part that I am extremely confused about.
Obviously I'd like a film look but 16mm is too cost prohibitive.
Your help is tremendously appreciated. Thanks in advance. Matt
