Alright, this thread will most likely grow as time goes on. Right now I am in the very basic planning stages. My buddy called me up the other night telling me him and his band are ready for a full fledge music video. I really am determined to shoot this with my Canon 7d.
We are going for a very open look in the video so I will most likely be using my 10-24 Tamron ultra wide angle lens for most of the shots. I am thinking of renting another 7d with primarily a telephoto (would be rented, what would be best I am assuming something like canon 70-200 IS L 2 or would 4 be okay).
So right off the bat I need a place that rents supports. I do not have a number right now on how much of a budget I have to work with but if anyone has a place they suggest for renting I'd appreciate it.
for camera A (the one with the wide angle lens) I am mostly looking for a shoulder support with follow focus and a monitor, if it can mount to a tripod great, if not, that is okay.
For camera B (camera with telephoto) I am thinking just a simple hand held with some sort of magnifier (again cheaper the better) and a follow focus.
Also I am thinking the possibility of a steadicam for a few "walking shots" where I want the frame to be lower than on my shoulder.
There is a possibility that a jib may be used for a few shots, if so I will not use a 7d as a B camera as pulling focus would be too hard. So I am wondering what video camera works best when paired with a 7d.
Again I am looking to rent all this equipment except for the canon 7d and the lens which I already own (10-24).
Any help would be great.
