Whenever we’re on a shoot, we inevitably encounter the amateur, serious amateur, and the simply curious who want to talk about the gear we are using.
Having been in the business at the professional network level, we’ve worked with all sorts of pricey and fragile cameras, mic’s, mixers and such. Some of the lenses alone cost over $100,000.
But that doesn’t mean that independent production companies can’t make excellent shows with top-notch equipment for far less.
Click on the pages above for detailed discussions, pics, and prices of the gear that we own and how we use the advanced technology of today to make our shows.
For example, the Canon XL1s is a camera that was designed for and went on Space Shuttle missions. It’s available in used but excellent condition for under $2,000. This camera has shot many feature-length films, SD and 16×9 formats, and its successor, the XL2, is fully HD capable (it’s new for $4,000) . It’s my favorite so far. See the CAMERA page above for full details and specifications.
We’ll be posting to this category as time allows.
Roll ‘em, Harvey.
