I'm shooting in Vienna, Austria in early October and I'm looking to rent something like the MicroDolly Hollywood. It doesn't have to be that exact model, the idea is something lightweight and quick/easy to setup and move. Does anyone have any suggestions for where I could find this in Vienna? I usually bring my own but the excess baggage fees are making it ridiculous. Thanks!!

Greetings and salutations,

I am looking to replace myself for a freelance wedding shoot on October 24th in Toronto. It is for another company.

Technically speaking you have:
A 3ccd or 3cmos camera (doesn't have to be HD)
A good tripod

It would be nice if you have:
A good wireless lav kit
A on camera light

But I can provide those things if need be.

Personally speaking you:
Are reliable and don't show up in sweatpants and a John Deere hat.
Shoot well exposed and in focus video.

This is a documentary style shoot where you're capturing the day as it unfolds. If you have shot cinematic weddings before then this is an easy shoot.

Please send an e-mail along to matthew@craggs.ca and include a link to something you have created.

Thanks :)

(Edit: I should also add that this is for an ever-expanding studio, so if you are looking for more work for 2010 and you do a solid job then the possibility for more work is there)

Hello everyone!

I'm based in West Lafayette, Indiana, but have no problem traveling. Equipment includes Sony Z1, AT897 shotgun, Sennheiser G2 wireless, and I'm currently editing on Vegas Pro 9.

Most of my experience is in commercials, but I am also looking to expand to longer projects.

My availability is currently daytime & weekends.

Thanks for looking!

Hi all:

We are seeking four PAs for an ultra low budget dance film that shoots on Sunday, October 11th in Los Angeles. This project is strictly a self-funded labor of love with no sponsorship, underwriting or grants so all of the crew hired so far are working for a fraction of their normal day rate. Non union obviously, we will feed the crew well and you will get a copy of the finished video on DVD for your reel/resume. The project will ultimately be entered into dance film festivals. We have an talented world class dancer, great composed soundtrack and the finished film will be quite amazing.

Seeking experienced PAs for normal production PA work, plus running hazer/fog machine, moving equipment and lighting. Shooting at a stage/rehearsal hall near downtown LA on Sunday, October 11th with a possible extra day for prep/pre-light on Saturday, October 10th.

$75.00 per day flat and it will be a long day.

If you know any PAs who are interested, contact blfilms@mac.com E-mail only.

Thanks,

Dan

Hi all:

We had a tremendous response on our request for PAs for this project, the producers have hired their choices so no need to send any further applicants.

Thanks so much,

I've been a member of these forums for awhile and I've recently started a media school in Kenya called the East African Media Institute (EAMI). We are located in Nairobi, Kenya and train young people in TV/Film Production as well as Broadcast Journalism.

I'm an American but have been living in Kenya since 1996. The school is fairly new and we're looking for support to build it up and offer quality training to these young people, some of them who we are sponsoring and many who are not on economically sound footing.

As an Institution, we are trying to train journalists and filmmakers to address issues of social importance such as fighting tribalism (recount the 2008 violence), saving the environment, addressing economic inequality and host of other issues affecting people here.

I'm open to work with anyone who has the heart to lend a helping hand. It can be in the form of your time to mentor a few of these students by supervising (through email) as they work on their projects or you can even take a trip over here and collaborate with us on some interesting projects. Heck, you can even come over and teach! We also are in need of equipment so if anyone has a miniDV video camera or digital camera lying around, we could use it!

You can check out our website at East African Media Institute: International Standards in Media Training or search for us on Facebook ("EAMI").

Although I'm working full-time in writing/development, we've been shooting a lot of demos for the cable networks and that prompted me to get quite a good sound package which happens to be really suitable for Red One or 5D shoots.

It's based on the Sound Devices 788T with the solid state hard drive option, and it can record 8 iso tracks as well as four mixed tracks, or just about any combination anyone would want. Feeding it are 5 to 7 wireless systems (depending on whether you want wireless hops to the camera) and a 416 boom mic with wind blimp, also a nice Petrol bag with a seriously comfortable Portabrace memory foam harness. Also have an 816 in a blimp.

Four of the mics are Sanken COS 11's and three are Countryman EMW units. Two of the wireless systems are Lectrosonics and four are Senn G-3's. One is my venerable AT-100 fed by a Countryman. I use two G-3's for hops when I shoot, but since there is wireless timecode sync and a way to genlock the recorder with the camera, you might just as well record everything to the CF card if you wish.

There is much more hardware than the above, such as a soundcart set-up with a JVD 24" 1080P professional monitor and a Mackie. I can generally include myself in the package whether as mixer, boom or third -- or not. This thing is surprisingly easy to operate though, as intuitive as any component might be.

Comes with 3 IDX NP-1 70 watt/hour batteries and a charger, as well as batts and chargers for everything else.

Call or e-mail me, I promise you I will be your most cost effective and easy solution to the issue of getting superb audio for your next shoot, in fact I'll surprise you with my pricing since I have a full time job and am really just looking to amortize this gear, not support the wife and kids.

Oh yeah, I also have an EX-3 with good Cartoni sticks, 4 solar spectrum lights and much more.
