 |

I'm thinking of making a movie...maybe, 15-20 minutes. Where could I find rentable video equipment?
By the way, if you're interested, it's going to be a fan-death spoof. |

Hmm a small movie? If you are an amateur, a 15-20 minute movie is no "small movie". Anyway, there are already a few fandeath movies floating around. If you haven�t already, I suggest you try and view them.
As for video equipment� what kind of camera do you need? If you are a little more specific on the equipment you need, I know a lot of guys who have video equipment and would be more than willing to offer assistance. |

I'm a non-linear editor if you need those services when you get done with principle photography 
Anyway, I agree with fandeath that a 15-20 minute movie is absolutley not a small movie. I highly recommend that you make a three to five minute movie first just so you can get a feel for how much work it is. The last five minute movie I made took five full days of shooting, about a month to edit, and cost over $3,000 USD to make. It still could have used some more work by the time it was all over. Granted, I shot on film (Super 8mm) and had a few interesting special effects, but don't underestimate what it takes to make a movie. |

Good advice, I'll take that into consideration. As far as movie, we're talking the stuff you used to make on those fisher-price camera's  Nothing at all professional, or that I'll even be proud of when I'm a Senator.
Either way, I'm working on a script. If the movie thing doesn't pan out, I might just novelize/put it into short story form. |

| Instead of a movie, why not make it a live play? There must be someplace in Seoul where you can preform it. |
