best part of internet isn't it....

I have to say this is something.

Ebay only has 2 listing and then look a bit sketchy. Anyone know who is selling one?

Haha. I have seen tiny furniture and know who Lena is. Thanks for reminding me about it though.

Yeah. I will still go ahead and make the movie, but now with the mentality that my $60k never existed in the bank. Haha. Why can't I be my own sales agent?

Thanks a lot for all the input. I did not want to go for shooting on film because of vanity reasons but because the digital like red or black magic doesn't offer the look and low res I need for the storage without some heavy unreliable grading which in the end cost money anyway. But being able to playback on set is pretty important for a newbie and also the convenience for a concealed location. I'm going to make it left and right. Just seeking the best option. Also my end goal is not really to break in anywhere or make any notice. Even if I can get all the shot I want I personally am not even sure I want it to be seen, because the story is just too personal and I feel embarrassed. I meant to make it for my own "appreciation" only. Of course when you do something like shooting a movie, let along my first one, inevitably I have some typical desire of getting accidentally noticed by important people at the back of my head. But I can see that is just desire now, and steer back on the right track. A little about my feature, it'll contain some footage and music I won't have right to use anyway. So **(obscenity removed)** it, the hell with selling, I'll just go ahead make it the way I wanted.

I knew I had it coming. the only thing kept me going is that I believe in myself and I believe I have a unusual story worth telling. I guess my initially mentality is little off then. Shooting on film or digital is probably out of the question now. I just had to do the best I can with what I got.

This post is long, but please bare with me as I need help. I'm in the early prep stage of my first feature, everyday I'm in awe of how much I still have to learn. My project will be about only 60min long that consists of quite a few Steadicam shots. I'm hoping to raise about $60K for my budget. My strength: I have a well prepped script and I designed every single shot as precise as it can be. My weakness: Everything as of now is till on paper. I have never shot anything on high end digital (e.g. RAW) nor on film of any kind, 16mm, 35mm. My debate: Because my lack of real experience, I initially wanted to go with RED for its flexibility in post production in case I messed up something. But as I learn more and more about digital. 1) it looked "too good" for my story. I barely need a 2k res for my story. 2) the data management is a nightmare. I don't have the connection to hire a DIT on set, and then source a high end computer to process the large files. So I thought about shooting on film. Seeing from other people's footage it offers the look and color I wanted, the downside of noting being able to playback gives me worries that my lack of experience will underexpose or mess something up big time. With digita,l I can use the DJI ronin for steadicam shots, and the DJI OSMOS alike for some occasions to shoot in public where it may be very hard to obtain permission and costly for hiring extras. But if I shoot on film, a few camera I looked Arriflex IIC, and Arri SR2, have scarce resources for power sources, e.g. batteries that work. So I don't know how to complete a long steadicam shot with a Super 16mm camer. Even if I can complete a work steadicam setup with my budget, there is no way I can get away with it shooting in some of the public locations, even if I obtain the permits, every pedestrians will turn their heads and look at the camera. Which means more $$$ to hire extras. What should I do?????
