I have recently graduated , and am looking at trying to purchase a Bolex. Not an easy tasks, as they are rare as hens teeth here in New Zealand, and shipping plus the exchange rates makes it very hard from overseas.
But what I really want to know is what is the best model for doing sync sound. The projects I have really need usable sound from the shoot, I don't have time/money/equipment for ADR.
I have done some looking, the EBM SBM and EL seem to be the best options. But it has been very hard getting any information from people how have actually used them to shoot short films etc... about how they actually run. Ease of use, Lens changing, Camera noise, all the usual.
I would be very grateful to any information anyone could provide, you might even believe I am going the wrong route with the Bolex. All ideas, opinions, options, welcome.
Oh and happy new year from "The Land of The Long White Cloud" too (that's New Zealand)
Regards
Stefan Chapman
