I make these films as a passionate amateur within the realm of “KinoKabarets”. People who do this as a sport are called “kinoites”.
By now, it should be about 90 such flicks that I have made. Some are trashy, others work well with festival audiences.
We have 2 or 3 days and no budget to bring an idea to life and screen the resulting film in a festival cinema.
If you are interested ind joining the movement: We are legion and can be found in Europe,Canada, Australia!
Speaking French will help, as the Kino-Movement was born in Quebec.
Is your screenplay for a short film or something which takes more time?
DSLRs are fun but you need 4 prime lenses at least. Focus will be the most prominent issue. Never take a photo zoom lens (which comes in the Kit with the cameras) unless you have more experience.
The 5D is still the best choice. The 7D costs half, so I took this one to spend more on the lenses. But the 7D and 60D and 55D have the same cropped sensor.
Dito on audio issues, dito on stabilizing the camera (so buy a fat tripod and a glide cam rig right away), dito on “tearing” when the camera moves too fast or the characters jump.
Get a DSLR, if you plan on making a lot of stills on the set. For this puropose they are excellent. The film mode is still only a gimmick.
Sony has a Video-Camera with 2 fat changeable lenses now. I saw it on sale in Europe.
