my reply to that can only be : ba-room pssccchh possessed by Jack Benny much ? anyone else ? Bueller ? Bueller ? (and yeah,i miss John Hugues too.) i feel my situation is rather unique as i described it in the OP. That's why i came to this place,figured the vast knowledge pool here would be just what i need to bring to the DP i will eventually choose. guess i'll wait. (Ben takes out the sudoku book,looks at it for a while,then throws it away and gets a Calvin and Hobbes )

Hi everyone, I'm a screenwriter from Montreal and right now im in preproduction gathering all the info for the shooting of my first short. Like the title says,it's a TZ It's basically a lowlife walking in a downtown area and seeing future events about to happen to him. It happens in real time,outside,and the one specific thing is that it happens at noon. So what i'm asking is what would be the very basic stuff i would need to get good lighting (reflectors ? scrims ? what ? ) i'm looking to shoot this in dv with some 35mm adapter(there's a gentleman here that has a RED ONE ,might be too costly for my money though ) to get shallow depth-of-field because i really want to shoot video,but use all the film tricks. if you have any questions or need more info,just ask me. thanks Ben
