hello,

I didn’t have time to read all the answers. I noticed someone talked about the Digital SLRs.
The D-SLRs have there advantages but they also have some disadvantages that you really should think about before You buy.

They are nearly impossible to operate as handheld you have to something like a glidetrack shooter: https://www.google.com/images?client=safari&rls=en&q=glidetrack%20shooter&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1280&bih=664
Otherwise the audience will get seasick.

Another big disadvantage is that You can’t turn the LCDs on most of them. So it is a pain if You need to shoot from “creative” angels.

They are great for shooting fiction (you can control your shoots) but documentary might be hard to shoot with D-slrs. But I actually haven’t tried shooting documentary with d-slrs, so i might be wrong.

Good luck

This is a (very) low budget shooting. The result most come out acceptable and watchable.
We are a two manpower team, and we’re going to operate the close-up cameras our selfs, there are no money to hire a sound man i’m afraid. My plan is to connect the two wide-shot-cams to the sound mixer’s booth.

As I understand from your contribution the sound will be bad, is that correct?

I would go with mocha.
But I can think of one other way then mocha to do this I call it “the cheap way”.
If I got it right, You should be able to do the following:

Start with:

The footage with no actor. Make a freeze frame.

Continue with:

Track the footage with the actor. Set the tracking to the footage with no actor (the freeze frame)

After that:

Mask the actor (guess You have to animate the mask to get it to look good).

When that is done:

Subtract the mask so You can see the freeze frame.

The goal:

By masking the actor away You should see the freeze frame, the freeze frame should have the same shakes as the footage with the actor.

Then You can:

For example make it look better by pre-compose and duplicate the composition and add some gaussian blur and lower the opacity. Or something.. I’m no pro.
