This is the complete set of 25 resourceful DVD's. We have learned a great deal from these DVD's. We are now raising funds to start our 1st feature film. We've paid $500, for the complete set and the package is unregistered.

We are asking $360, which includes shipping(anywhere in the US).

If you don't know what these valuables DVD's are, go here to read more about them. http://www.digitalcinemacourse.com/index.html

Any questions or info, please let me know ASAP.
 
Please let me know when you'll ship these to me, (including UPS tracking number would be welcome as well). I wish you much good luck on planning and funding your feature - pre-prep is the hardest part. The short on your web-site shows a lot of potential - excellent concept, good actors and well done.
 
Hey John. PM sent w/ info. I shipped USPS, I actually work for UPS and wouldn't use them,) Thanks for the words, we hope for it as well. This is the hardest part, like you said. Again, thanks.
 
Added what's below to a pm'd response I'd sent you, but adding it here might generate a few other responses and solutions from others.

The Letus35Extreme is an excellent adapter, losing only around 1/2 of a stop. However....

- You'll need rails. Mine are 18" front and 8" on the back
- The rails will have to support a follow focus system with barely enough room between the Letus and the FF rail-clamp, and it's quite possible there won't be enough room.
- I was using an IndieFocusPro, but had to reverse the camera plate on the tripod head to use a lower back tier of rails (purchased from RedRock, and was used as the V-Mount battery holder at the rear of the rig). That was the only way I could get it to operate well while keeping the Letus in the snorkle-down position. Snorkle up has issues trying to mount a matte-box in front of any 35mm prime you attach. Actually - both positions have issues and you have to have shims or mounting hardware that can raise vertically (and since I've got a DVX100A w/Andromeda mod - slightly horizontally as well). I'm now getting a RedRock and supporting mounting gear to replace the IndiePro.
- It weighs a tad over 3 pounds by itself, and more with a lens. That, plus a FF, mattebox, adapter support brace, filters, etc., makes it incredibly front heavy (remember, this screws onto the front of the camera, like a filter), which also causes concern. If you add a focussing monitor, batteries, some kind of arm to hold the monitor in place as well as monitor hood, a whip or speed-crank, and other gear onto the rails, your camera may end up overweight and unbalanced on your head (easily causing the camera to slip front-first on the tripod), which you'd have to compensate by adding even more weight at the rear, and overpowering your head further).
- I'd gotten mine with the Nikon and Cannon adapters, but primarily use the Nikon. Some lenses have real problems releasing themselves from the adapter once locked in-place (I'd almost broken one off in frustration once).
- If you have a dolly, or jib, or attach the camera to both, you'll need three people to perform a camera move. Rehearsal with the camera crew will be a major requirement that will impact the time it takes to get a shot and mess up your shooting schedule.
- If you intend to do matchmoving for special effects (greenscreening actors or props like a gun or something) into a moving camera shot, using any kind of a 35mm adapter will foul up the data that any matchmoving application generates to compute the move and make the greenscreen effect actually work as you'd intend it.
 
The DVD set arrived in good condition. The Field Manual is also in excellent condition. Good transaction, timely delivery.

Thank you Sir!
