Hey everyone!
First off, sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum section; I was a bit unsure as to whether it should be posted here or elsewhere. Feel free to move it accordingly, if this is wrong!
Secondly, I would like to say that I've been lurking around on this forum for some time, and enjoyed it quite a bit! The atmosphere here seems very friendly, and I look forward to being a part of the community! This also brings me to the actual topic of my post. A friend and myself has been studying media at the university for some time now (just finished our bachelors
), however most of the education revolves around theory rather than practical experiences. As such, we feel as though our actual field-experience is regretably limited. Furthermore, we've not had too great equipment to work with when we finally got to go shoot something. As such, we have decided to throw all our money into starting our own business, which primarily will revolve around communication/discourse in regards to image etc. In addition, we'd like to be able to shoot commercials etc. for small business owners, however in a far better quality than which they usually have access to within their price-range. More importantly, however, we also want to start putting some of our short-movie ideas into production with some proper equipment. So while you could say that we are looking to buy a camera for our business, the end goal (so to speak) is to move into the more professional movie-making business. Surely, this is at this point merely a dream, but I suppose that all indie-filmmakers has been where we are.
Now, my question is whether its actually feasible to consider a Red camera. As I mentioned, we want a camera which is capable of producing better pictures than that of the equipment which we've used (for instance, we used an old Panasonic camera which I cannot recall the name of
), and we both agree that we really dig what red can produce. However, we do not have too much cash to spent right now. We're currently able to use roughly 17000$, which needs to cover tri-pod, dolly (I reckon), a lense and the actual camera production package. Simply put, is it at all doable to get away with getting a Red One with the mentioned equipment for said price, or should we aim lower for now? The goal is ultimately to convert to Red, if we cannot afford one initially, however it would obviously be great if we could get away with getting one right away.
I've obviously done some research myself, however its a difficult field to research and its easy to get lost, thus this post.
I should mention, that we do have more cash to spent, however I would like to not go above 17000, as we need money to spent on light, sound etc.
In advantage, thanks so much for the help It is a rather daunting task to start up like this, so its awesome that there is a community such as this available to lost souls such as us!
