I have gotten some offers to shoot some projects. I actually am just learning directing right now, and in the past I have gotten separate videographers to do the video shooting. However, when I tell people I am trying to break into film directing they assume that I am a videographer as well and want me to fill that job.
I got an offer to shoot some promotional videos, and they want me to be the videographer. So if I take this job, I am probably going to need some equipment to move the camera to make a better impression.
All I have right now is a fluid head tripod and that's it, along with a DSLR. So in order to move the camera more than the tripod can I get either get a dolly, a slider, a jib, or a shoulder cam sytem.
I am unusually tall so I don't know if the shoulder cam is the best idea as I would have to crotch down a lot while walking around to get the movement shots.
So what do you think is best to get. Dolly perhaps?
