Im not sure where to put this topic. But first of Im going to invest in a camera and optics for a some small and a bigger production. Camera budget is estimated ~20000$.
Im looking for alternatives that allow me to shot by my self without B assistant etcetera. Also the preferred camera layout should be that I can put the camera right on my shoulder without any need of rigs. But mostly I shoot static shots with tripod.
My latest production, a seven year doc, was shot with DV, HD, Super16 and I wish to continue my cinematography with a really small team. So what cameras is preferred for a single cinematographer?
Panasonic HPX3700 with zoom optics?
Something that brings me close to s16?
I also with not to work with 35mm depth of field. Super 16 and 2/3" depth of field is closer to my likes.
So any tips is welcomed!
Best,
David
