Inside the Secrets of Crafting a Micro-Budget Feature Film with Ashley Scott Meyers: Hollywood’s Best-Kept Formula Revealed
You still have to buy a lot of SD cards, chargers, a hard case. I bought a hard case, that was probably a hundred dollars. Batteries—you want extra batteries. I mean, the camera for a thousand dollars, it came, I don’t think it had any SD cards. It did have a battery and a charger, but we bought more batteries, another charger. You know, you want to be able to charge the battery. It also has a plug, but you really want the batteries because you need to move quickly. You don’t want to keep having to plug the camera in. And SD cards—you know, they’re just these little SD cards that go in this camera. It has two slots so you can record on two cards. Definitely do that because we did have problems with these SD cards. They’re not super expensive. I think it might be like a hundred or one hundred fifty dollars for a 256 gig card. And I think we ended up having about eight of them. And we did have to—like one of them completely went out. And one of them went out for a couple of days. We were able to kind of get it back going, but I was afraid to ever use that card again. So again, the camera has two slots. You can make a backup right on the fly. Definitely do that. And then, you know, back those SD cards up. And you’re going to need to buy them. I mean, even at one hundred fifty dollars for one, you’re still buying eight of them. So that’s still like eight hundred dollars.Top of Form
