$2000 budget for feature film sound - What to get?

[Pepi Singh Khara]

Hello Matthew,

Thanks for the input....... I can use all the help that I can get in the SOUND department........ I just am not able to pay anyone......... I have a list of prof. sound guys willing to do the 2 week shoot for me...... but I have to pay them approx. $2500 and put them up in a hotel for 2 weeks and feed them........ that's a total of around $4000.......... now I'll end up with great sound but I'll pay a price for that............. that's the whole reason for me doing this leg work to buy equipment for much less than $4000........... that I can use over and over again versus having to hire people/equipment for each shoot........... ie. I expect to be making 1 digital feature film a year (if not more).......... Thus, in the long run, it will be much cheaper for me to own the sound equipment that'll give me sound that can be used for a 35mm blow up...... if and when the need for that should arise......... If you have the time, the desire, the inclination to help out with sound...... drop me a line.

You're close enough in PA to where this could work out. Look forward to hearing from you should you decide to write.
