Rent or buy

Should we rent or we should buy the equipment we need for production?  That is a key financial question every production must face.

We are facing this question with regard to the sound equipment necessary to record voice overs for our preproduction Story Reel.

At first blush it would seem renting a studio space with all the necessary equipment makes the most sense.  However in exploring the daily and hourly rates, along with knowing we need the same equipment for the live action shoot as well as post work, it appears to be more cost effective to assemble the equipment and put together our own temporary studio.

One factor in our favor is that many of our members have equipment available to use.  So we probably only need to purchase one additional good mic and a mixer.

On a seperate note, we received over 20 applicants from actors and actresses for our first casting session.  We have scheduled casting for Saturday February 17th.
