What is least H.D. Camera product I can use to blow up to 35mm. What lighting system do you you suggest? What is the price new and used. thank-you very much mark ratering
What are you going to shoot, when and where? If you have a full length feature script locked down then I would suggest discussing it with a DP. The DP may have all the equipment necessary or knows where to rent what you need at a cost in keeping with your budget. We have some very good DPs right here on Stage32. Canon EOS 5D, around $2400 plus lenses, DSLR cage, etc. There are some good packages out there for under $5,000. Lighting depends on what you need for the scene. The 5D without the cage looks like a standard SLR so it makes a nice guerilla platform to steal shots at restaurants, buses, trains etc. A lot of movie theaters are using 2k or 4K digital projectors so don’t worry about transferring to 35mm. Good luck with your project, that’s my two cents worth and your mileage may vary.
