Hi,
I'm planning to shoot a zero budget short around some parts of Portland as soon as late winter, but probably next spring. I'd like to keep this a fairly "tribal" production so I thought I'd start by asking a couple questions here:
* Anyone here an actor or have recommendations? The film has two leads, speaking parts. I need two males, one in mid twenties, the other a bit older, thirties or forties.
* Anyone possess or have access to equipment I can rent / borrow? I'm keeping this ridiculously cheap, but I will need to add some things to the toolbox:
* UHF Wireless Lav mics / transmitters / receivers (can't afford to buy them myself yet)
* Portable lighting kits
* Camera carriers / steadiers; my camera is tiny and it'll have a very viddy look to it if I don't get it into a rig that can control its movement. Tripods won't suffice.
I'm likely going to need some production help. I figure I'll direct and operate the camera, and have folks to handle sound, but will probably need some grip and transpo help.
The script is still nascent, and I haven't started on a production schedule so I can't say anything about the length of the shoot, but thought I'd get the word out that I'm starting work on this.

Dudes, I am sooo excited about this. Making movies, no matter how small the scale, is what I should be doing, so I can't wait! :-)

no steady-cam though, but we have gone macguyver with whatever is around for nice tracking shots in the past.
