Urgent! I need to borrow a Canon 7D/5DMk2 tonight

Gerald alerted me and I zoomed to this thread as quickly as possible to see what would develop.

The constant pun bumping will bring OmarLittle's request into sharper focus.

Dude, it isn't gonna happen, is it?

oh oliver

In the words of joe dolce - shutter your face

Very good. You're clearly finding your range.

Dude, it isn't gonna happen, is it?

No it probably isn't going to happen but i thought i would try here as we are a vaguely like minded bunch of folks and i have done a few favours to people on the forum over the last month or so so thought i would try.

I think i might have de-railed this thread into a 'how cool is Omar' discussion.

Omar is fucking amillion times cool to the power of infinity. end of.

whats this thread about again?

Omar! This thread's developing nicely.

Some people were rather panning it at first.

Personally i work professionally as a film clapper loader and this is my 1st little shooting job

so you don't know any dop's or production companies?
i have a few photography mates and we loan each other kit all the time, a photographer/director i know borrows the production companies house 5DII (as do the other directors/dop's) all the time.

maybe you need to make more friends in your industry or talk to the hire companies for a freebie.

Omar has gone to develop a sense of humour in the dark room.

You should be more candid about things like that Oliver.

The first rule of Dark Room... Oh, wait...

ISO sick of these puns. You're all so negative(s). All the OP'er asks for is a camera and is willing to offer some T-shirts in return to get some exposure.

Thanks for the Input i had not thought of any of those options....

My regular DoP has his 5D out on a job at the moment as an insert camera, the other DoP has also got his on a shoot out in Peru and my other couple of colleagues who are own them are either using theirs today on jobs or are working so i cannot get the kit from them. Believe you me i have been trying everyone i can. I also got 2 weeks rental of an EX3 for £300 from the rental house that we use for feature films which was already such a generous thing for them to do that i did not want to ask to borrow anymore kit from them. Unfortunately i do mostly feature films so therefore do not know so many people in production companies so did not really have that although if i wanted to shoot tonight on 35mm i could have gone to Panavision and got a Millenium and a set of Primos quite easily.

i see

i miss 'sorry if i missed something'

Canon-yone help him out? He's not going to be nikon the camera.

Good grief...

I have this, any use?
