Another great episode. I really like this format, I've had a movie idea brewing for a while but I might go for seperate episodes instead, seems somehow more managable.

Keep up the good work!

Just caught this episode, it's my favourite so far. Great idea, reminded me of Groundhog day which is one of my favourite comedies. Nice play on the hat near the end, that made me laugh.

Thanks Sverrir, Groundhog Day is also one of my favourite movies, so this is our homage.

Glad you like it, regards!

Paul, do you have a rough number for the cost of the equipment used to film this production?

Let's see:

Panasonic GH1: €1300
Nikon lenses: 17-35mm f2.8 (€800) + 50mm f1.4 (€150) + 85mm f1.4 (€300) = €1250
Zoom H4n: €190
Rode NTG2: €240
Lighting equipment: About €300 per episode

Total: €2980 = $4200 (+ €300 per episode)

But, we already had most of the stuff before starting the series.

Best regards!
