Hi! I have been preparing for an indie feature for a year. Scenes have been scoped out. Equipment decided on.
I am going with a 7D as the prime camera, theres really nothing to compare, if you can avoid jello.

Its a romantic comedy. I can give more information later.

I prefer someone with a photography background, or some artistic bent. A painter, musician, etc. Technology can be taught, but the artistic "feel" is harder to get.

I have all the equipment needed, lenses etc. just need the 1 person.

I want this to be a paid job, but cannot afford to pay industry rates - so an ideal person would be someone just starting on video, with a prior experience in photography (i.e. composition). This way it will be a paid learning experience type of a job.

I can also trade time - I work in Sydney as a professional dancer, and teach around the universities, so I could trade Latin, Salsa or Jazz classes in return.

The shots are in the early dawn hours - 5-7 a.m. near the Sydney CBD. Alternatively some scenes are at night.

There are 9 scenes in total and I will film 2 of them myself. There is dancing in the film.

One of the shot is a matrix-style bullet-time sequence with 55 Canon Powershot cameras.

Check this thread ...

Please pass this on to anyone you think may be interested.
