Hi All,

Just wanted to know if anyone out there know of any great websites for creating budget film equipment like Dollies, Jibs, Dolly Track, Steadicam, etc.

Thanks

Steve

ebay is a good source to look, got most of my stuff there, either from building it from plans I purchased or used equipment.

I own and maintain a post production house in Los Angeles. This is not so much for building jibs and dollys although I have made custom equipment like that before. My ambitions are more centered around budget post production. I own and operate the small outfit of my company, therefore overhead is very minimal and i can offer the best 16mm and 35mm film scanning and recording prices in Los Angeles using a custom high speed scanner and recorder we developed. Check out my website. http://www.opticalcameraservice.com. or email me if youd like to talk more or learn more of my services available. Outside of my post production facility and engineering machine shop I am surrounded with friends and clients in the business and have leads to near every ? you can think of. again contact me through my website or email if anyone would like to discuss anything further.
Happy Filming -John

We have launched a revolutionary budgeting tool QuickFilmBudget.com to help independent and aspiring filmmakers move toward production. Quick Film Budget is a user friendly website that empowers writers, directors and producers to create professional customized film budgets.  It is the first budgeting technology that automates the budgeting process for the filmmaker.  Since filmmakers do not always have the money to pay thousands of dollars and months to wait for a Line Producer to deliver a budget, nor do they have the money to buy expensive software such as Entertainment Partners, QuickFilmBudget.com automates the process by asking some key questions and instantly delivers a professional customized film budget for the low cost of $99.

Use your budget as a guide for everything from what to pay actors or how much to spend on equipment.
