Anyone know where I can get one? like the ones they use in the movies but not as good and/or expensive. lol
Im gonna film a comedy horror film and I want someone to monitor it so that we can make sure it all looks good as we go along.
OR...
Does anyone know where I can get a portable UK power supply (the kind u plug a plug into, like the one in the wall) that may run from a rechargeable battery (not a car battery as we can't carry it round everywhere)

Some help and advice would be appreciated if anyone can help.
Im off now but I'll check back later.

You mean a projector? Or specifically a portable monitor, because I'm not aware that they use portable monitors in cinemas.

He means the monitors they mount on the cameras, but I'm not sure where you'll find a cheap one.

Yeah, the kind of thing Belly linked to.

Oh and btw, I might buy a gamecube screen from my girlfriend and I could use that but it plugs into a general household power supply or a car cigarette lighter so I would have no way of powering it.

So either a cheap screen that uses batteries or a 'portable plug socket' would be good. lol

Just get a small $90 TV and run an extension cord if you have to. No need to get too fancy or break the bank. It'll more than do the trick.
