Helping Hands from 2004

[Rick Casuso]

Hi Stephen,
What a great piece of information you provided for me. I currently hold a teachers license, and I dont think it will be too hard to get my daughters school to be my sponser. Many thanks for your tip. I will let you know what kind of results I get.

Thanks again,
Rick

p.s. If anyone wants to donate any old gear please write me, I will pay the shipping costs for all donated gear.

Hey Stephen,
I am a transplanted New Yorker. I moved down to south florida 3 years ago.

I still get calls from NYC from folks looking for video services. That being said, please tell me where you are located, and the type of video work you shoot.

Maybe I can refer some work up there to you. I had a few double booked weddings in NY this past season. I was lucky enough to get coverage for the ones I could not personally shoot.

I still travel back up to NYC to cover most of the calls I get, but if I get a shooter that I can trust, I would probably take less trips up there.

I've got two interviews segments for a DVD project that I've got to shoot asap (in the next week hopefully). I can't make the schedule work and need someone or a couple of shooters to cover these.

One of the personalities is in LA the other in Washington state. The documentary, aside from the archival footage, is all being shot with the XL2 and I want to keeo these sections consistent.

These would be half day shoots tops and a cool project. Anyone in the LA area or Northwest with an XL2? in a pinch I could live with XL1s footage as well.

email me,
Jim

Hello,

I will be filming a full length feature in Mexico for three weeks, from February 7-26 using a PAL XL2 and mini35. I am in need of a Director of Photography. Experience with the mini35 is important, but more necessary is a good command of lighting and composition. I will supply the camera and adaptor, and have a Glidecam V-16 and a 3,300 W light package. If you have any equipment besides this to bring to the table (good tripod, flags, silks, c-stands and such), that is a plus.

The film is a pretty big project for its budget, so money is very tight. Monetarily I could offer $1,000 for the 3 weeks (negotiable depending on experience). Mostly I can offer some very exciting filming locations across the Yucatan peninsula (huge abandoned ranch houses which I'm enhancing with false fronts, beautiful Haciendas, a beautiful "Hipico," a place where people train with horses (jumping obstacles, etc) with lush gardens and awesome stables, 18th century stone churches, Colonial cities, etc), some great actors commited to the project, a good script, and an exciting movie to be a part of--one that will hopefully succeed commercially and artistically and become a great resume calling card and a good experience.

The script is in Spanish, dialogue will be in Spanish mostly, with some sections in Belizean English and Mayan. Its target market is the USA though, through international festivals.

The film is a big movie: expansive locations, very dramatic moments for actors, characters seen through many stages of life, some pyrotechnics, some gunplay, some greenscreen, many small parts, different languages... and $23,000 to do it (besides a $14,000 loan for equipment). Its a great story, modesty apart. Its certaily no run-of-the-mill indy film, its a story of high ambitions, epic sentiment.

About myself: I have written and directed 2 short films in 16mm, this is my first feature and my first venture with miniDV. I graduated Cum Laude at the University of Miami in 1997 with a degree in Literature and Film. I have tried to get this film, my dream project, done for 7 years as a 35mm movie, and have recently decided do it in miniDV, putting all my life savings for it.

The crew will be very small but commited, some of them will be communications students (there's no film school in my home state), everybody except for me, the main cast, the DP, Sound Man, the gun property master and maybe a couple more key positions will be people eager but inexperienced.

The film is a fantasy/drama/adventure movie about two reunited twins, a brother and sister, who were very close in childhood but were separated and have led very different lives in different countries, when a catastrophic event brings them together in a very intense and moving adventure.
