Helping Hands from 2004

Stephanie Gaultney · January 12th, 2004, 01:54 PM

Hello Los Angeles!

We're looking for a Steadicam Operator or wanna-be steadicam operator looking for experience (we will teach you!) to be part of a great crew and excellent script. Your work will be showcased in "The Banshee Chapter", a short digital suspense distributed to the 2004-2005 film festival circuit.

More details on the film at www.bansheechapter.com. There's no pay, but copy, credit, and meals are provided. We're filming the first three weeekends in Los Angeles during February. Join us behind the (PD-150) camera!

thanks!
Stephanie

Here is a link to download my portfolio. These pics are from shows I worked on as a freelance model maker. They are WinRar format.

Thanks so much for posting that. I have only one word for this: AMAZING.

Really too bad your on the other side of the world. Otherwise
I could've used someone like you to decorate a war set for me.

I'm writing a piece I hope to shoot later this year which would
perhaps have some need for miniature stuff. The only problem
is fluid camera movement on such a scale (no motion control for
me) and getting such a model here to Holland. Maybe I can
save to come shoot a model in LA with you, who knows. I'll keep
your portfolio and stuff in my mind for the project!

Stephanie,

You might be able to net yourself a surprisingly experienced operator and/or make some good connections if you post this on the Steadicam Forum (www.steadicamforum.com). You'll need to create an account but it's free, just like this board.

Good luck with the project!

Seth Peterson · January 13th, 2004, 01:08 PM

Hey Rob. Glad you liked the pix. Let me know if you decide to use any models in your next project. We can build them and shoot them here; and FTP the video tests to you. While you are PAL and we are NTSC, I dont see that being a huge problem.

Thanks

I am currently back in Los Angeles from Europe. While I'm here, I'd like to participate in (paying) projects and bring some projects back with me to Europe.

I write, produce, direct, shoot, edit, compress for internet streaming and even know some HTML.

Here's my online demo reel: http://advaloreminternational.com/videos/demo/demo.mov

I look forward to hearing from you!

Rob Lohman · January 14th, 2004, 07:36 AM

That might be an option indeed. I'll keep that in mind. Only with
camera moves it might be a little bit of a problem with the frame
rate. Stills shouldn't be too much of an issue and we might even
use a digital still camera for higher resolution ?

I also moved the thread to helping hands forum if you don't mind.
It is a bit more in its place there.

Rob Lohman · January 14th, 2004, 07:39 AM

Glad to see you had a safe journey Victor! I've renamed your
thread and moved it to the Helping Hands forum to target it
a bit better to what you are looking for.

Nice reaal Victor!

Note to other people: the link above is to a small file that will
download the rest from within your player.

Victor, I really enjoyed your demo reel! Great action stuff, the guy jumping off the cliff is awesome footage. The flying snow skier is too!

Thank you for sharing that resource! I really appreciate it and will definitely check it out...

Anyone know of any good (and low price) 16mm to VHS transfer services in Austin, Texas? I have a 34minute color film reel that I need to get on VHS.

Thanks for any leads

Don Donatello · January 14th, 2004, 11:10 PM

VHS ??i assume you don't need quality ...
look in yellow pages under video production, video post .. you should find some mom pop type places , copy places, small photo places that offer the service. these type places have a basic film chain ( film could get scratched) projector and industrial type lower end video camera . maybe one color correction for the whole film and they don't watch it while it is transferring .. they set it up .. run it - come back in X minutes ...

Rob Lohman · January 15th, 2004, 06:40 AM

Why not have them transfer it to DV tape? Then you can do the
transfer yourself to VHS and have a DV tape to work on and do
other things later if you want. Since it is digital you will have and
will maintain a prestine copy (if they do the transfer right, ofcourse)

Nick,

Call or see these guys. I order tape from them, and have only good things to say. Also, they have been recommended several times to me for rentals, etc. so they probably know where the best place to get the transfer done is (did see on their site that they actually do transfers themselves).
