Hi, i know we are all conflicted with what toy to buy next, but maybe you guys can help me with your collective insight.

Me and my friend plan on doing several short narrative pieces (im thinking mostly indoor stuff, drama, light comedy...not too much running around) and we have so far invested into a dvx100b, a borrowed hvx200, a purchased p2 card, an oktava m012 hypercap/rycote bbg and shockmount (no boom pole). We have access this quarter to lighting and tripods from school.

So my question is, how would you rate importance/use from the following items?

Steadicam merlin
Dolly
Crane
Jib
35mm adapter
shotgun microphone
boom pole

(anything else you would reccommend would help a lot too!)
Thanks for your time.
 
From most important to least:

Good scripts
Thorough pre-production (planning!)
Good craft services (food)
Boom Pole!
Release forms for talent/locations
Bounce board
Shotgun Mic
Lighting controls (flags/gels/scrim/etc)
Field Mixer
Permits/Insurance
Wireless Lavs
Mattebox + filters
Dolly
C-Stands
Sound FX library (digitaljuice, etc)
Jib/Steadycam (equal, depends on the shot you want)
Follow focus
Crane

Just about anything else

35mm adapter
