Need to find 6 camcorders for feature shoot

[David W. Richardson]

Okay, I'm not looking to BUY -- I'm looking to BORROW.

I've got an AMAZING feature script called 'The Circle'.

In order to shoot this thing, I need 9 consumer-level MiniDV camcorders. I already have 3, so I'm looking to borrow 6 more.

I also need 9 good-quality mics. Since most of these consumer-level camcorders probably won't have mic jacks, I'm also going to need external audio recording. I can patch 2 mics into my DVX100a, and 2 more into my Zoom H4. That covers 4 of the 9 setups. So I need something to cover recording from the other 5 mics.

I've got 4 or 5 tripods, and can lay hands on a few more, so that's covered. I've only got 1 mic stand, however -- will need 8 more, which could be desktop stands. Or I can duct tape the mics to the tripods, if need be.

I built one of those 'porta-studio' isolation boxes, which works well. I can build more for the 9 mics (assuming I get 9 desktop stands).

If I can find enough people willing to loan me these things for a 3-day shoot, then I think I can make this movie. I know it's a lot to ask, but hey -- nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?

Any takers?

David

Cool! I'll send my DVX100a! Please return to.....

Actually, no -- the cameras are taking the place of 'webcams'. So they just sit on tripods on sets in totally non-hazardous situations. Same for the rest of the gear.

But when I get ready to do my plane crash movie, I'll call you Capt!
