Rob Tiffin · July 31st, 2005, 02:45 PM

We will be shooting a feature film from Sept. 1st - Sept. 25th North of Atlanta. I need a DOP/cameraman as well as someone to record sound. It will be mainly nights and weekends. We do not have much money, so it will probably be a deferred job. I am open to discussing payment though, if you have your own equipment and seem like the person for the job. Larry Holden will be in the film, he was in Batman Begins, Insomnia, and Memento. He is also a filmmaker. e-mail me at robtiffinmovie@gmail.com for more info.

I'm a Houstonian videographer. I live in Spring, shoot on my venerable XL-1, with a flowpod and small jib availalbe if needed (and depending on how important sound is for the event, mixer and assortment of mics and booms). I've done a small number of weddings, music videos, industrial films, and the odd independent (read: worked for free) film.

E-mail me off list and let's talk.

Matt,

How did the zombie thing go? Sorry I have not been on the board in a while, I have been pretty busy with school and work. I think I got something about the zombie thing on the wire.
Had to take a day job because like you said there is not much out here in the way of paying gigs. I am with you in that I aim to one day play a role in changing that.
I am studying the business aspect of things because I am beginning to see that there is a reason there are so many names on the credits of feature films and that it takes a budget to pay for those names. You can't expect 500 people to help you for reel credits. Especially the ones with the real talent. They are going to be to busy on stuff they get paid for.

Joe, it's good to see you got one the board, what was the issue you were having?

Stephen Schleicher · August 1st, 2005, 08:51 AM

Is it film or video?

If you need cheap crew members, contact Rob Albertson at the Art Institute (in buckhead), he may have some advanced video students who may be able to help.

You can also check with Steve Paniyoto of On-Line productions (formerly The Off-line edit suite). He has his own video gear and has done work (shooting) on several films that filmed in the Atlanta region.

Finally, if it is a video project, contact the Atlanta Chapter of the Media Communications Association (formerly ITVA). When I lived in Atlanta ITVA was a huge organization of professionals and we used to crank out some really wonderful stuff. Their resource guide is an excellent starting point for camera, crew, and production assistants.

Hope that helps

Cheers

I could not post anything for awile and someone helped me out by speaking with an admin and they resolved the issue quickly. There was something wrong when I registered.

Rob,
I have sent you an email.

I reside in the Atlanta area.

Victor Muh · August 2nd, 2005, 03:12 PM

I'm in the U.S. until September with my Sony Z1 High Definition camera. I would like to produce and direct a project while I'm out here.

Please submit your ideas! I'm interested in music videos, shorts and well, virtually anything else... with the exception of non-fiction!

Stephen Finton · August 5th, 2005, 08:15 AM

A space opera. With real opera singers.

Boyd Ostroff · August 5th, 2005, 08:47 AM

"A space opera." http://www.greenmist.com/trovatore/visions/
"With real opera singers." http://www.greenmist.com/trovatore/film/20030909/

Been there, done that... http://www.greenmist.com/trovatore

Unfortunately, as we got closer to the actual production, the ideas we'd developed over the previous two years started to sound a little too radical to the management so we were forced to compromise and make some things more conventional. We probably should have bailed at that point, but we caved in. The end result was OK, and even got good reviews, but we weren't as happy as we might have been.

I'll leave it to you guys to try this the next time. We're looking forward to working on some non-opera projects for a change :-)
