Hi,
I attended the very good Tiffen workshop in Pennsylvania last may with Garrett Brown and Jerry Holway which was great. I plan to buy my own rig now and I would like to have your opinion.
In the long term, I plan to work on features only, that is to say, in a few years or so. I don't have the money to buy the best rig right now so I'm considering the Archer 2 with a G-50 or the Clipper 324.
My question is, what do you think is the safer choice? Knowing that I will tend to fly cameras on short films (using Super 16mm, a lot), commercials and music videos. For the last 2 ones, the nature of the cameras can vary tremendously, obviously.
Since, I'm new to this art and business, does any of you would know the range of cameras' weight (playload), starting from the Red, Phantom and some 16 and 35mm cameras that are being used on commercials and music videos?
That would help me a lot :)
Thanks!
Antoine
