I'm looking into fiddling around with movie making. I was heavily influenced by The Golden Age of Comedy series when I was younger and have always had a soft place for 1920's era silent films. What type of gear would I need to reproduce the looks of say, Laurel and Hardy shorts such as this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDgnqfepRfI I'm not looking to get fancy of anything, just something to let me know if this is a hobby I should pursue.
