your compliments are extremely encouraging michael, so thanks!

the letus ex. is around 1200 by itself, but i also have a rod support system, follow focus, and lens which is prolly another 1000 or so. but im all for telling stories well and in a pretty fashion so it's worth it, hah.

Yea I feel the same way. If I'm spending money on my computer or camera gear its worth it for me. I love what I do and if it takes a little dough to make a project better then that's how it has to be :) Cheers and thanks for the inspiration. I realy hope you continue to make projects in this fashion. Very intriguing. I only half agree with 360 about the locked down tripod shots. I love static shots but hey man, those handheld shots are really really effective if you know how to use it, and you certainly show that you do.

P.S. if you love lingering shots, my god, check out Paranoid Park or Last Days from Gus Van Sant. He lingers like a mutha. :)

i've seen both. haha. gus van sant can really piss me off sometimes though. he's got the talent, but sometimes i don't give a flying fuck about his story.

i thought maarten was being sarcastic after sighting some references he picked up? maybe i'm wrong. haha.

if anything, i've helped to spark up an interesting dialogue.

Yes I was being sarcastic, you kinda leave us hanging so I guess you didn't care enought to tell the whole story :)

Its a cool start... so when can we expect the rest? :)

And infoPimps... lol?!? Never heard that saying before, makes me wonder why you know it so well :) (i'm joking ok! lol)

Lol don't worry about it, I was joking as well. I know the saying, its just more fun to pretend you heard it all the time and i dunno it. Besides we are all here to have some fun and be friends right?
