I’m looking for a shooter with equipment in Evesham England area. Prior news photography experience would be a plus.

Our company conducts news media training, where after a brief lecture students are taken through three separate, media crisis scenarios and mock media interviews. This class will consist of six students, each of which will be interviewed at least three times. After each round of interviews there is a critique session where the interviews are played back.

Right now, I’m expecting it to run from 8am to 4pm. The date has yet to be set.

For more information on our company please visit: http://www.wilson-group.com

Looking for Shooters and Boom Operators for a 2 day shoot over Labor Day weekend in central Illinois (2 hours south of Chicago and an hour north of Peoria). Ideally looking for someone with equipment (preferably XL1S cameras). The film is an independent documentary about bocce ball in the US.
Call/email David at 301-370-4863/twinofkim@gmail.com if you are interested.

Allan McCall · July 7th, 2005, 12:24 PM

Is this a paying job, and if so, what's the rate? I shoot with a Sony PD-150, but can also boom, if you have shooters already lined up. I'd be driving up from Nashville, TN, which is why the compensation is an important factor for me.

Thanks,
Allan

If anyone needs a cheap orchestral composer to score some music for them, perhaps I can help out. Since I'm a bit new, I'll trust you and take whatever pay you believe I deserve for the work once it's finished. I only have a couple of short, in some cases unfinished samples online, unfortunately.

Hi Michael

Just wanted to say that you have nice clips. I didn't like the happy/love theme so much, but that's maybe because I don't like very happy music so much ;-)

Good luck,

Christopher Bishop · July 10th, 2005, 09:07 PM

Hello -

Christopher Bishop here. my current untitled drama needs a production designer. We're looking for someone who has a good eye for color, style, tone, theme and always knows where the hassock should go.

This is a paid job and it's a great experience.

If you're interested, please feel free to email me at

bishop8322002@yahoo.com

I will be getting my own camera/editing setup and am looking for people to build with. I also do audio engineering and have alot of exciting thing going on such as writing my first movie and music related things. I have alot to bring to the table

Gary McClurg · July 11th, 2005, 08:20 AM

From a film festival started here in Springfield, MO.

We've formed a group called the CINEmerge Entertainment Group.

Its to help with the festival and independent film or video producers.

We're going to have some industry people come and lecture in the near future.

We do have two events for July and August.

Then in September where going to have a director from Hollywood giving a workshop on directing.

Just have to work out a few details before we say who the director is.

You can check out the site at

www.cinemergegroup.com

Matt Gettemeier · July 11th, 2005, 10:26 AM

I wouldn't mind hooking up with some of you guys here in STL... maybe we should all try to work out a day to say hello in person.

I've done a few things with people in STL and it's a mixed bag... there are 4 categories of film-maker in this town;

a) People with the possibility and ability to make something that really will go somewhere... and they PAY for help.

2) People with some decent ideas, but no cash (and often little to no gear) and a willingness to reciprocate free help with free help...

3) People with some decent ideas WITH equipment who solicit for free help but will most likely never reciprocate... you're only in it for an obscure credit and the experience.

c) People with serious ego (may or may not have any gear) that think any idea they have is great even if it's pointless with no story... and they want free help with no intentions of reciprocating OR giving you any credit or anything else after the project is done! (A normal production from this group is like "Gay Cowboys Eating Pudding"... from South Park)*

So it's definitely a mixed bag here... I've met some people that I expect to be life-long friends and some that I never heard from again after a few 12 hour days of free equipment rentals... (lights, cam, sound)... IMO, it's fair to expect a personal "thanks" as well as a copy of the edited project after donating a lot of time and over $1K in rentals... not just the "hey thanks everybody" as you're packing up on the last day of shooting... gimme' a break.

Basically I think it's fair to expect time for time... once your film is in the can you better still show up for my production... fair enough?

*A couple years ago I had a guy explain to me how he was "above buying ANY gear because gear is pointless when all that matters is the script"... Hmm... maybe I should have bought a new car instead of all this crap... I didn't call that guy back.

Hey it's as simple as this: If we all have fun (or feel satisfied by quality) by creating your idea... AND you will help me on MY ideas... it's all good.

Respect
Thanks
