STOLEN CAMERA, ST PAUL MN - BIG CASH REWARD

We just had a camera and tripod stolen from a shoot in St Paul, MN. A maroon SUV (Chevy Tahoe?) drove up to our crew, grabbed the camera and tripod, and sped off. No license plates. $4000 CASH reward if anyone can track it down and deliver it to us, or provide info that leads to its recovery. No questions asked. No joke. The Sony EX1 camera has Kyle Decker's name and number written clearly on the bottom.

I don't understand what you're saying neither does anyone else I guess, so no, it's not fucked.

But damn, real sorry to hear about the camera. I really hope somebody gets that back to you guys.

There was a song that Kyle Decker used in an edit once that I think would fit this situation nicely...

+++Vibes, that sucks man...

what if we tried to get a ton of ns'ers to donate 1 or 2 bucks. That would add up pretty fast. We all love level 1, and I would be down to donate a buck or two to help you guys replace the gear. Maybe you could give out prizes like your sig tall t's, gloves, stickers, eye trip dvd's, ect. at random to donators.

thats just my $2.00

while this is a very nice gesture, i do believe that Berman has insurance on his gear. but no amount of money can replace lost shots that take hours and hours to set up, stomp and film.

^that is true. I couldn't even imagine how mad you would be if you got the sickest shot that took hours of work to get, only for some jerks to jack your gear with the shot on the cameras memory.

exactly.

although they certainly don't like losing a camera that nice and expensive, what they're after is the film, i assume.

and that would be silly not to have insurance on the camera, in which case the money isn't really a factor.

In Utah, so I can't do a thing about it, but vibes and prayers with you guys. Like everyone else has said, check eBay, Craigslist and pawn shops. I'm 80% sure you can sort by location on eBay as well.



Thought, we need to make a site that can scan the internet world of a product listed from a certain area with keywords, so when shit like this goes down, it can be easier to track down.

^expanding on this.

I just want to help Level 1 as much as i can. I life in Canada so me telling people won't help at all. I love Level 1, they make amazing movies. Eye Trip was insane, and Refresh is one of my favourite ski movie ever, I've watched it like 100 times.

Which is crazy that they value the shots at $4000. Must be some damn good shots. Now that's some real hype, the $4000 shots.

realistically, they would pretty obviously be level 1's shots and at least they would be out there then instead of being lost forever

You guys should try setting up some sort of safe deposit with the poilice. Something of the sort where they can drop of the tapes, and have no questions asked. I m not sure how this works but its definitly been done before.
