Hey all -- Joel here, I directed SUICIDE and produced CONVENTIONEERS -- yes, we used 9 cameras for various reason (two of them were siezed by the NYPD and held for several months, for example), but mostly because we shot a ton of documentary footage and had to be in multiple places at the same time. We used the P+S Technik Mini35 adapter for some of it, when we could go single camera (we could only afford one). When we say the movie cost less than $500k, we mean it cost WAY less than 500k. Let's put even a little more emphasis on the "WAY" part.
SUICIDE cost about $3k, most of it spent on the fx, the technik rental, and the gun shop. We really just shot it as a test for the Technik as we'd never worked with it before. In regards to the orangy-ness, i think that's just because we really had no light package and we hadn't used the camera as much back then (2004). We were just messing around. It was also shot on the original 100, as the A hadn't even come out yet, so it looks a little rough around the edges.
And I agree, it is one long, drawn out joke, but we think it's funny anyway.
