Helping Hands from 2004

[Anthony Faust]

Hi everyone,

My name is Anthony Faust and I'm a film producer in D.C. I'm developing a short and I'm looking for local producers to collaborate with.

I'm looking for DPs, grips, actors, and most of all, a producer to help me develop the project. Feel free to email me at anthonyfaust@hotmail.com. I'm eager to get started and I want to work with someone who has a passion and enthusiasm to make a good film.

In the meantime, check out my latest short, http://www.anthonyfaust.com/hq/view_film.html

Thanks,

Anthony Faust

I will be moving to Korea in July. I am looking to help out on any size project. I have an XL1s. I want to get better at using it and do something useful.

I have a three day event shoot in Portsmouth in September, and need a lighting tech with equipment to assist. Can anyone help ?

possiblities. Thanks!

I'd like someone to take a job I can't. I know it's short notice and I apologize for that, but they gave me short notice as well. The reason I can't is I already have another commitment in Chicago that day.

The job is videotaping an ethnic fashion show on the afternoon of Saturday, June 12, in Washington, D.C.

It will involve two cameras, one stationary and the other taking a variety of shots. The event will likely run about 60 minutes, but may take up to 120. Both cameras should be of the 3-chip variety.

Please post here with any general questions or email me for specifics: _tv_writer_at_mac-dot-com_ (without the underscores and dashes; I put them in to avoid scavenger bots).

Thank you!

Sincerely,
Murad Toor

Will the job pay enough for travel?

[Rob Lohman]

I've moved your thread and changed the title to better indicate
what you are looking for.

[Murad Toor]

Keith, this job will cover travel but there won't be that much left after that if you're coming from Florida, or in my case Chicago.

The pay will be $350 for the two camera, two hour shoot. This is more likely a job for a D.C./MD/VA shooter, but I'd be thrilled if you decided to do it. I was willing to go and pay my travel expenses out of that fee because I am a past-president of the group that produces the fashion show. I suppose anyone else traveling from far to do the job would do it for the sake of novelty. The show features Pakistani clothes, both modern and traditional.

I am going to edit the show, and I'm doing that on a spec basis.

[Barry Gribble]

Murad,

I can do that. I have an XL1 and access to another that we can use for the lockdown. Where is the show? What time is it? Can you cover expenses also? (just tapes, not travel).

Let me know, I am definitely interested, especially if I can have permission to use the footage for my reel also...

[Murad Toor]

Barry, that's excellent. The fashion show is scheduled tentatively between noon and 4 p.m. By now they should have finalized the exact timing. I will call the folks organizing the event to find that out. It will be a two-hour show at the most. I'll address the reel question later today because right now I have to take off. The answer to that is yes with conditions.

I spoke with a couple of the people involved with the show tonight but I forgot to get the exact timings. I'll get them tomorrow night.

I'll address everything over email tomorrow evening.

The good news I got tonight is the parent organization has hired a videographer for the entire weekend, which includes two cameras at the fashion show. I just need to make sure their end product doesn't conflict with ours. The scope of theirs is supposed to be an overview and recap of the whole weekend's events, whereas ours is going to be solely focused on the fashion show. It will be a lot more compelling to watch a four-camera production, and they're supplying me with the raw tapes from the other two camera feeds.

Thanks!


edit: The show is scheduled to begin at 1:30 and end at 3:30 p.m. Barry, I'll email you the rest of the details. Thanks again!

Hi,
I'm Bill and live in the Williamsburg VA area. There is a group of producers and animators living in the area that have joined together showing each of our skills and abilities on a DVD that we are currently making. I own Canon XL-1 camera and edit on Final Cut. Just wondering if others in the area would like to join us.

There is strength in numbers!


Thanks
