Thanks Fred... Let me see if I can find a bolex here...

well there is no concept of insurance here... so all the camera stuff comes with people...so a S16 gets me a person who is responsible for operating the camera, one person for handling the camera and then one person who is responsible for lenses... on top of that there will be DP and me... quite an entourage i will have there ...even though they make a thousand films every year it is still not a camera friendly city....and cops are always checking corners everywhere.... its a safe city but not camera friendly.... so dslr works in that sense.... i can pass it off as a tourist camera!! one thing is for certain.... i wont shoot daylight with dslr... would that work out somehow?

Hi fellow filmmakers, I am going to shoot my thesis film in Mumbai. I have a few internal locations where I can control the lighting. And, like many film student, I am tight on budget. Also, I cant let go of shooting on film. This brings me to the most pertinent question. I want to shoot on 16mm for all the internal locations. I will use 500T for night shots and 200T for day shots. However, because of the tight budget I cant afford shooting on the streets with all the permits in place. My production manager is completely against me going on the street with the camera crew and says that the city people are very nosey about these things and they end up messing up your shoot. However, all I need as of now is to get my character walking at various locations in the city at various points of time. Because i dont have permit to shoot on streets I cant light things the way i want. So,I was wondering if i shoot all the external stuff on Canon 5d or 7d(coz these cameras are good with low lights), will i be able to match the footage? or is out of the question. p.s. i will bring it back to LA and get the post production done... so, super 16 + dslr ... good idea or bad idea? let me know.. any help would be appreciated.... thank you for your patience.. takecare badrish
