I'm working on a movie for film class and I haven't been able to shoot anything in the last week because my friend (who is supposed to be in the movie) went out of town even though he said he wasn't doing anything. The camera is due tomorrow and I have NOTHING. Luckily, I don't have to have all of my footage in until April 12th, but all of the slots to borrow a camera are filled. I ended up buying the same model that I borrowed from the school on ebay for $85 (new). The school paid $250. Win!
Yeah, it was kind of a waste of money but it's going to save my behind. Plus, I have a friend who is interested in buying it when I'm done. If that falls through, it's going back on eBay (might hold onto it for a while).
