I have an idea and most the script for a short, and really the location was the first thing to come about in the whole thing. We were at the location and knew we had ot shoot SOMETHING there because it just seemed so right. Anyway, point is that the location is being handed over and demolished in February. Between the change of season and most my potential crew going back to school, I'd like to try and do it in the next couple months. What camera would any of you suggest for an easy rental/purchase, that would be affordable, easy to learn from scratch, and give me a decent soft look as film would. I say rent because I know a person at a rental house who might be able to hook up a prime deal. I already own a Canon ZR10 but theres no way I'd use it simply because the quality is largely horrible even in home videos I make, lots of artifacting. Thanks much all.
