Have to agree with Torby in as much as $7k won't get you very far at all. Apart from anything else, a one camera company (and that's about as many as you'll be buying with that budget) will not get very far at all.
There's an awful lot to factor in - Cameras, Batteries, Tripods, Lights, Mics, Staff, and of course a PC to edit on and the software to do it. Remember you'll need more than one of the first six on that list and you see where you're sums are going awry. And that's for the most basic set-up. Get into steadicams, cranes / jibs, a vehicle to travel to bookings in, premises, and the figure truly skyrockets.
As far as investors go... you'll need a far better business plan to make this happen. On TV recently in the UK a very successful Video Production company that turned over £1.6 million pounds last year totally failed to attract investment for expansion. Your best bet is that the investor hasn't got a clue about the business or has more money than sense..... |
