I have called to the local public office which lends A/V supplies, and
they have told me that this was too much for them, they have less
resources (I had to ask, anyway :P).
Also, I have called to the professional stage and they told me that
they will send me a small quote. Nothing too accurate, just for a
quick estimation of expenses.
Then, I remembered that the City Council owns a good place where they
can record audio albums but also video documentaries (mainly). I've
called them and they could lend us the boom pole, but not the mic
(anyway, as far as I've understood you, you will take it).
They didn't
have a green screen available, but gave me a phone number of a small
company who owns one. Also, there is another place in the city where I
will ask
But, if possible (as mostly all the people is asking), could you tell
me the required size of the green screen? Looking at the wiki, I
estimate like 2x2 meter or something like that. Is it right? Do you
think that it would be ok if it's smaller?
