Hi,
Me and my co-writer has been working on a script for about two years and it's time to start preparing for the shoot. We have only made films with friends (That have acting backgrounds), but now we're going to work with a pretty famous actor (At least in Norway), and we don't have all the equipment we might need. We're pretty sure we're going to invest in a RODE mic, a mic pole, and some lights. Since we haven't made many "big production" short films,I'm wondering what kind of lights we should buy and what other equipment we should have ready before the shoot. Please help
I will be directing, my co-writer is the DP. Should we use a good sound man and use money to pay him, or is it wiser to let someone close to us do it and use the money for lights etc.?
