Would or should you buy something that expensive?\r
\r
How can you buy a RED EPIC-W camera package that costs $75,000+?\r
\r
Option 1) Cash money.\r
\r
Option 2) Borrow/Financing Options\r
\r
Youll need a down payment, for in the interest rate, and calculate if you can make the monthly payments.\r
\r
A way to pay off that monthly payment is to rent out the gear to other filmmakers. A RED EPIC-W with the 8K sensor could easily rent for $600/day which could be your monthly payment!\r
\r
Having a professional cinema package could also spice up your Cinematography CV because now you are a Cinematographer/RED Camera Owner. Producers can hire just you and you bring along your gear. (The whole package, so to speak.)\r
\r
But what happens when you cant rent out your camera? Youre basically staring at $75,000 worth of metal and plastic sitting on your desk. That can get scary if no one calls in.\r
\r
You have to weigh the benefits and risks of owning a RED Camera or any valuable piece of film equipment.\r
\r
What is your experience with big filmmaking purchases? Was it worth it? Did you get screwed over? I would love to hear your stories.\r

My Life Story (sort of)- \r
\r
I can remember picking up my familys video camera as a teenager and being enthralled that I could make an imp in someones life. The filmmaking process is complex but at the heart of it simple: tell a compelling story. \r
\r
What resonates the hardest is visual storytelling. The ability to create an emotion or convey an idea through an image is what drives my career as a filmmaker. My marathon mentality is focused on becoming the best cinematographer possible.
