  1. The best book I've read on Cinematography. Classic. It's definetly a must read for all levels of Cameramen.
  2. You have wide latitude on the camera so you'll have the flexibilty needed. The real trick is to get some people on radios and have them posted around the area your shooting. They can call out if a vehical or cop car is approaching. Since your actors are on bikes, the can dip out really fast and then radio when the coast is clear.
  3. 2-45 Degree tracks would help, but if not set your camera up with a two shot in pairs on sticks (suggestion).
  4. What are layout of the rooms? What direction are the windows facing? It would be much simpler if you can arrange shooting in those rooms and set up before the sun rises (provided it's a clear day).
  5. It's alway's best to put into practice loading a mag without using any special lighting equipment. Just practice it till you know it like your toothbrush. Also, you have to ask yourself; "What if I don't have any special light to aid me in loading the magazine?" You have to know your tools.
  6. Minolta 4-F. Had it for years since I started and never failed me.
  7. I'd get the camera checked too. See if there's any buildup in the pressure plate and check the ground glass. Sound like the seller had it chucked somewhere in their house and didn't bother with it.
  8. Pelican 1650 http://pelican.com/cases_detail.php?Case=1650 Get two of them-one for the camera and another for the lenses. If you want to invest a little cash you can go on some websets where they will do molds for your camera and lenses. This is to insure the units are safe if you decide to ship them somewhere.
