Today i've been looking into HD camcorder hire around Leicester. We want to get the best possible quality of film to prevent the video looking tacky and poor.
I have been in touch with one company (from www.nav.co.uk/provideohire) who have quoted us £120.00 for a weeks hire of a JVC HD GZ40 Everio Camcorder. To split this price between the three of us is just not an option as that will be £40.00 each for just one week, when we are likely to need it for longer than that as we cannot rely on the weather.
Another possible option is Emily's brothers camera, but its currently unclear as to wether his camera is suitable for what we need it for, and if he's happy giving us responsibility for his camera as it's expensive.
We can use the cameras from school as a last resort, but after seeing footage from them in prelims, we'd much rather get a better quality camera as it will make our video so much better.
Which computer will you be editing on?
ReplyDeleteThe Macs at school can only cope with tape, Steff's laptop will be able to handle HD.
We have a HD camera at college BUT it can only be used at college under teacher supervision so I doubt that its much use to you.
You'll need to take some test footage with a school camera to see if its really not suitable for your needs.
