We use a 16x manual lens on the XL-1s for shooting miniatures. I don't blame you for not using RealPlayer. I don't even have it installed. hehe.

I've been living in the Baltimore area for a couple of years, and I was excited to accept a job in the city because I thought there were a lot of independent filmmakers in this area. Unfortunately, it's been an audious task to get in contact with any of them.

Are there any indi-filmmakers in this area that are interested in joining creativity and production forces? If you already have your own thing going, is there room on your team for a young enthusiastic filmmaker. I'm currently putting a few projects together as part of my application to graduate film school, but I do have other projects that I'm willing to show anyone interested.

In addition, I'm developing a TV show that will be on the Public Access channels in Baltimore and DC. Ironically, this show will focus primarily on showcasing short-short indie films.
I'll put up another posting very soon to request submittals from filmmakers, so keep that in mind, and also keep in mind that the films will be aired on tv, and thus the contents should be accepted by whatever regulations the TV station puts forth. There will be more details on that.

But in the mean time, any filmmakers in this area, or PA, VA, Delaware...even NJ that are looking to reach out and work with an up and coming filmmaker....should definitely holla @ me.

Thanks for taking the time and looking at this. Have a good day.

Greetings.

My company urgently needs a video editing guy (or gal) fluent in Final Cut Pro and Japanese to work on a large video project in the Tokyo area. The work consists of editing 10 corporate videos (marketing/PR, etc.) that will be used during a convention in early February. Ideally, we would like someone who can start working early next week (01/26) and be available every weekday until February 4. Email me for details if you are interested.

Not a paying gig, but I am looking for folks with the GL2 who are interested in working in multi-camera setups as part of an indie short. Please see www.turnipvideo.com for details.

We recently did a location with 3 cameras and the results were great. We shot two scenes with multiple angle coverage in under 90 minutes. A great deal for actors and crew. Adds a lot of flexibility for scenes whose naturalistic lighting and small number of actors are suited to it.

This is an ongoing interest and open ended requirment. If you are located in the central part of North Carolina and are a pro looking for some fun or a recent GL2 owner looking for a more professional experience, please contact me.

Really nice stuff Seth. I'll keep you in mind if I need any models. Can you give us an idea of what some of you stuff costs to build, or your hourly rate?

Personally, I'd get you to build models just to put in my office, but my woman says that isn't a valid business expense. :)

Hey Dylan, thanks for the reply. I mentioned above that my costs are very flexible. Scale and detail are the two most important factors when determining costs, if any. These things get hammered out during the bidding process. It all boils down to the fact that I want to do F/X, props and models for small to large DV/film projects as well as make a name for Sundevil Pictures. There is no project too small. I can work around any size budget.

Have some sort of an idea of what you want/need for your project? Drop me a line!

Hello Everybody,

I am looking for a summer internship in Orange County, California. E-mail me if you are interested at David@dbpaintball.com

David Applegate

I have a XL-1S, wireless mics, tripods, and a laptop with capture capabilities. I can cut on pretty much anything. I have worked with most NLE's. Looking for work in any field.

Hey Man,

Thanks for the Email, I am out of town right now and cant send or recieve any msg's. I am definatly interested in talking to you more about the projects you memtioned. As soon as i get back i'll send you another email and maybe we can discuss it more.

Just like you I've been looking for people in the area who are interested in working together. It's tough going but im determened to find some people who are serious about this and get some type of filming exsperiance. After all people who really care about film can only do so many No-Budget Horror flicks useing a hi-8 or Super-lo end 1 CCD digital cam before they go insane :). My friends and I hit that point and we are doing our best to try and make something that we could be proud of!

Talk to ya soon kenny, and to any other people in the area.....for the love of god...please post something if your out there!!


Later,

Kris

David,

I'm not suspecting you are going to get any responses to this.
Why? Because you gave absolutely no information AT ALL
besides the location and your name.

I've been in the position to do job interviews at my company
and in your case there is a lot of information missing:

1) are you going to school? If so, which one, what are you following and which year are you

2) what length of internship are you looking for

3) which area(s) would you want to intern in

4) how many hours a week?

5) what kind of companies would you like to intern in

With your current question you might get an e-mail from a
gasstation that wants you to learn how to pump gas....

Howdy from Texas,

A friend of mine is looking for a shooter with a 3CCD DV camcorder to cover the FCC Public Hearing on Broadcast Localism in San Antonio. This is a paid gig. Shoot the event and mail off the tapes. Contact me by email for details -- the event is Wednesday, January 28, 2004 from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the City Council Chamber, Municipal Plaza Building, 103 Main Plaza in S.A. Thanks in advance,

Greeting,

I am looking for 2 camera people for a full day live corporate convention shoot in early March. The location is in Baltimore, Md and I would prefer local shooters. There are 2 positions, 1 shooter with his own camera: DV-5000 and a shooter without a camera.

Please email your rate and experience to info@seansmithmedia.com
No phone calls please.

I'm located in Central California, does anyone know of a good equipment rental house for Digi-beta or Betacam?

My second project, "Outpost_Theta", was just released on the net. There you can see some practical effects and props that were made and shot by Sundevil Pictures. Check it out. More to come.

Hi Joe,

I’m in the north county area of San Diego. Your post interests me because I am considering opening an equipment rental business. I would like to know more about what equipment you might be interested in renting. Could you please contact me off list at m_banks@sprynet.com

Thanks,

Martin

Hey what's up. We're based in DC and done a couple of projects. I hear exactly what you're saying. This area isn't exactly the Hollywood of the East, but I kind of expected that when I came down from NY. The hardest part seems to be finding actors. Your projects sound interesting. I especially like your cable access idea. We're developing a few short films right now and will definitely need collaborators on those projects.

Email me a link to your projects if you can. :)

I currently live in Arlington. Several times I've made initial contacts with people, then heard nothing since. Would love to hook up with other indies. There is too much material around here not to do something.

I mean come on folks, DC, election year...enough hot air to melt all the snow around here, hehehe.

Hey Steve, I checked out your film, awesome man, seriously. I liked it, the overall quality was very good. I tried to email you with the contact link there but it was returned to me. Here's my email kemeson@wrallp.com. Drop me a line and we'll go from there. Thanks.

Hi Kenny, You've got mail.

hey send me an email so i can get in touch with you guys when i get back in town. kenny and i had a few meetings so far and are planing to do a few projects together. prehaps you two would be interested in comming down for the next production meeting.

Hi. If you need a hand, let me know. I'm fairly new. I've been playing around with my XL1s for about a year. I'd like to help out and learn.

I'll be returning from Germany in about a month til May-June.
I'll be in going to Korea around Oct.

I'm looking for a project in Melbourne, Australia to get on and improve my chops. Would be really interested to work with anyone shooting XL1,DVX100 or VHS full size...

Gimme an email if anyone is interested.
BTW the VHS thing is of course a joke.

i'm in DC too, if anyone needs a hand with something,

Kris, your email option is turned off in your profile.
Here is mine
tuffcom???comcast.net
replace the ??? with an at sign.

I know that Sim Video (in L.A.) will often ship to locations, but it will probably depend on your dates and what not.

What do you need done? Just editing, or effects also?

I might be able to help you out - not in Orlando, but reasonably close. I use After Effects, Final Cut 4, and Commotion.

Ive been doing little Snowboard films and some other X-games type stuff, but I want to do some sort of feature. I use a Pana DV953 and Vegas4 & Avid Xpress pro.

anybody out there?

I live in DC Metro and would definitely be interested in working on projects as time allows. I'm also working on a script and will definitely need some crew this fall. Let me know when you're planning the next meeting.

Barry

I think I'm going to put together a plan to shoot a documentary.

The rough details I have right now are:

It would be about 6 months long.

I'd shoot about 2 nights a week.

One night would be in a group meeting setting, the other would be at a person's home.

Each shoot would be about an hour to an hour and a half.

What I need are cameramen. I've got to fill these spots with some folks that would like to work on a documentary.

There's no budget for this, and I might be forced to find local college kids to shoot it, but I'd love to find some serious amateurs or professionals that would like to be involved.

If anyone thinks they'd like to do something like this, please let me know.

Like to help, Bryan, but the commute from Upstate NY would be tough! I'll be calling you over the weekend to discuss our other project - I have some good news!

Sounds good Mike.

Hey guys,

I have a shoot for the Fading Legacy documentary in late May in Washington DC. No solid dates and times right now, but I wanted to throw it out in case anyone was interested in helping out.

I won't be able to offer anyone anything in the way of monetary compensation, but credit can be exchanged and you can show off your shooting skills.

If you want more information, e-mail me and we'll talk privately.

In the meantime, try to stay warm up there. :)

nice... but the shots of the guy getting shot <no pun intended> look real over exposed. its fine for the POV through the guys goggles, but the others look out of place. did you originally plan to have all the shots of him from the goggles POV?

Hey Rob, accross the street from my home in Boca is a guy who was a combat engineer in Pattons 3rd Army. (I think thats what he said). Man does he have some horryfying stories about what happened, especially what the SS troopers did to people. I think he also has photos and memorabilia from that era.


He is also planning on attending the opening of the new WWII memorial when it happens (I think late summer, but not sure).

Really nice guy, lives alone since his wife died a few years ago.
Everyone in the neiborhood likes him and visit him when ever we can.

Joe,

Patton's 3rd are responsible for that incredibly fast Allied advance in northern France after D-Day. They went so far, so fast that Allied command told Patton to SLOW DOWN to let the rest of the Allies catch up. They must have seen some amazing, and horrifying things.

Check out the link to the doc to see what it's about. Basically I think that stories like the one your friend shares with you should never be lost, and the doc focuses on what's being done to ensure that.

We'll be there in late May for the dedication ceremonies as well. : )

hey guys,

just wanted to let you know im still sitting here in spain waiting on a flight back to MD, so if anyone has sent me any messages, that's the reason why i havent responded yet.

anyway.... i should be home soon and would like to host another meeting in the Glen Burnie area. anyone who wishes to join us is welcome. there are no obligations for atending, just a chance to meet people like yourself in the area. please send me some mail and i'll get back to you as soon i get back home.

The exposure and color temp were all done on purpose. Because I shot this with absolutely no money, I only had one costume for each of my actors. The guy getting hit with bullets is the same guy on the radio with the BVGs (ballistic vision goggles). I changed the look of the scene to differentiate location. I also framed out his tell tale helmet and goggle gear as well as flipped the shot horizontally in AFX. This put his canteen and other props on the other side of his body, thus making the same actor/costume read on screen as mortal enemies of an experiment gone wrong. You may not be able to appreciate all of these things watching the web version. Let me know if you want a full res version via Bittorent!

i need to output something this weekend, and my media box is messed up right now.

anyone in vegas willing to output a video file of mine to miniDV for me? i'll give you some free promo DVD's.. and buy you some beer or something* ..not to mention supply my XL1s and a miniDV to do the transfer on.


(*or rootbeer if you're underage haha)

anyone? adam@adamgeek.com is my email, if you prefer that.

Joe - did you ever find what you where looking for? There are dozens of places. Let me know if you still need help.

Hey Mark,

Thanks for the reply. The only rental places I have found so far are VER (Video Equipment Rentals) and Voice and Video. If you know of any additional ones feel free to post them or send me an e-mail at jpitz@sbcglobal.net.

Thanks

Joe

Broadcast Rentals
Henerson Lighting & Grip
San Diego Stage & Light
Audio Video Supply

My biggest suggestion would be to go to www.sdfilm.com and request a resource guide. Most large areas have a film commission which have a free guide. You can also stop by or call them and they'll help you with everything you'll need.

What kind of project are you working on?

Does anyone know if there is a place online to find gaffers, make up artists, boom operators etc to work on films? Or perhaps another resource besides the web?

Try www.mandy.com.

I'm looking for someone who has a second DV camcorder to help me finish a project. All shooting will be outdoors in Southeastern part of Alberta during the months of June and July. Feel free to email me or just post a reply.

Phil, e-mail Bryan Beasleigh about his friend in Alberta. He (the friend) lives about 50 miles west of Calgary. He's a long time shooter.

Thanks Frank, I'll do that.

Thanks Mark for the good tips.

We just starting working on a documentary, may enter some sections in the San Diego Asian Film Fest.

Thanks

Joe

I'll hook you up with equipment, video/film or help you out with locations/crew.

see ya.
