Less than that if you don't want to do anything fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Tim J Durham Posted March 12, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted March 12, 2006 cool, thanks, but if i was going to buy or rent what kit should i use..... Post some frame grabs of film scenes you are trying to emulate. That makes it easy to suggest how it was done and what was used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam j Kennedy Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 well i will be using either the sony z1u hdv, or the XL2, im not sure which yet, (sidenote; if anyone could help me decide which is the better camera to get it would be greatly apreciated). im also using a M2 35mm adapter and various nikon lenses. im having a hard time finding screenshots of what im looking for, the only thing that i could find is norm li's movie "water" http://jonalden.com/water/water.mov thanks, adam k.
