Anyways, I was watching a little bit of that film, and I was reminded of when Vincent Gallo put his shooting package for The Brown Bunny up on Ebay (presumably to recoup some of the costs of the film). I saved a text version of the Ebay listing, and thought I'd throw it up (mostly for my own enjoyment and reminiscing). This package is like the equivalent of a having a Ferrari, or something... Here you go -
Vincent Gallo, the director of Buffalo 66 decided after completing Buffalo 66 that for his next film, The Brown Bunny, he would own all his equipment. He would not rent a thing. He would own everything he would need to make his next feature film. In putting this production package together, he spent a year of researching and testing equipment. Afterwards, he would spend 6 months designing the package and another 2 years purchasing, customizing, testing and tweaking the gear. The goals were as follows: to be lightweight, compact, versatile, reliable and cost effective. The package would have to include everything needed to make the film: 2 cameras, a high quality and comprehensive lens collection, mobile yet sufficient lighting, sound equipment that could integrate with the cameras so as to avoid slating, a mic assortment that would never need backup, and a ton of extras that would meet the needs of his flexible and spontaneous production style, and last but not least, an extremely secure transportation case system. 100 hours of case design alone was needed. The entire package was used to shoot 60,000 feet of film. Since Gallo owned and operated all the equipment, along with two extremely careful professional assistants, the equipment remains in better than new condition. The reason I say better than new is because not only is all the equipment in 100% mint cosmetic condition and mint mechanical condition, a lot of tweaking by the factories who produced the equipment was involved. For example, Gallo wanted his 2 Aatons to be the quietest in the world so after purchase, he fedexed them back to France and had the factory make them as quiet as they could possibly ever be. Well below their rated specs. In the case of his lenses, the vintage set of Super Baltars which were new old stock lenses purchased directly from the Mitchell Factory, had to be converted to PL type mounting. Many cameramen had dreamed of doing this since the Super Baltars are the finest lenses ever made. However, no one's been able to complete the conversion. Gallo found a designer for the conversion, a machinist and a lens expert and after 6 months of effort and $25,000 cash, he now owns a complete set of Super Baltar lenses converted to PL mount. Another thing to note in the lens area is that all his lenses were expertly re-built and calibrated including his Angenieux zoom which was purchased from the Stanley Kubrick estate. It is the famous super long throw lens that Kubrick had made for Barry Lyndon. No other like it exists. In the case of his Nagra, Gallo had the Nagra factory build him the last brand new Nagra 4 STC which he had made utilizing the Aaton time code so his cameras and sound recorder would always be in sync. All in all, Gallo put more effort into this production package than the whiny Wes Anderson, the sputtering Spike Jonze, the un-darling Darren Aronofsky have put into their whole lives. Because of the design and detailing of the package, a filmmaker could work with the most flexibililty, mobility, efficiency and reliability that could have ever been possible any other way. If you want to make a movie, this is the package to own. Everything is guaranteed working and in brand new cosmetic condition. Seller can not be responsible for shipping and would prefer pick up and inspection in Los Angeles. Payment must be made in full within 7 days of close of auction. No deadbeat bidders please. Again, no deadbeat bidders. Please call for questions 323 878 0100. DO NOT EMAIL QUESTIONS. If phone goes to voicemail, leave a return phone number and a technician will return your call.
