Great, thanks for the advice Nick. It sounds like traveling down with all the gear might have to be the way to go. I’ll check the local tv station there and see what they have, anything I could get would be less I have to bring, so I’ll take whatever I can get.

Thanks again.

Hi Bill!

First off, thanks for the advice.

We are going to try and keep the production fairly small so it won’t be on a RED. Currently the thinking is the BMCC, with a 5D or c100 as a backup. As far as power, we are shooting mostly on a college campus so that hopefully won’t be a concern indoors. For lights I was thinking one or maybe two 4 bank kinos, with a few smaller lights for spotting. I was originally thinking LEDs but I’m worried about them not being strong enough to work with any areas of bright sunlight. I have not seen the location yet, so I’m just speculating right now. For the outdoor scenes, I’m thinking just some bounce boards, scrims, flags, etc.. that sort of thing. We also need a simple dolly rig with about 12 feet of track. The camera, tripod, matte box, follow focus, batteries, and drives will come with me on the plane. Just need the lighting and support rig stuff. Depending on whats available I can scale things down, but currently I have no idea what is available there.
