tried calling, y'all don't seem to be up yet. I'll try again in a bit.

Yeah Cole, you're two hours later than they are. It's still 6 am on the west coast as I type this.

Whiners ;)

I'm looking for someone with an HDV 24p camera that lives in Berlin, Germany that would like to contribute to a short film by providing a few night time exterior establishing shots. It is a spy flick to be completed as a B&W, and takes place during the Cold War. Any help greatly appreciated.

I'm up for that. I have a brand new Canon XH-A1 and tripod. What is the ceremony about? I can do it. I'm in L.A. but have family in Vegas, so not a problem.

....have been contacted by videographer--just waiting for confirmation...
Thanks!

Do you need to make a living?

A few friends & I have a zero-budget Star Wars story we're just getting ready to take into post.

Fellow Star Wars Geek here :)
Yeah, sweet, I can do Lightsabers Effects, Force lightning, and all that good stuff!
I've been roto-ing LS blades for about 2 years now.

Email me your info, and Put StarWars film somewhere in Title please.

I will be having one day shoots/projects coming up in Columbia SC. Am looking for a shooter with an XL2 (preferred) or DVX who can respond on a semi regular basis. These are in controlled lab/studio environments.

I've got one upcoming in late May-June, and am not exactly sure just yet what the client wants, as we are in the middle of storyboarding now. It won't be more than a half day - full day shoot. Pay will be $400-$500 depending on what the client wants and time commitments. He is making it sound very simple now...

My client is moving his testing labs from Seattle to Columbia, and there may be more of these from time to time. I will ask for a non-compete with the specific customers on these shoots as they occur. It wouldn't hurt if you have any construction experience...

I am working on a low-budget short film shooting for 3 days May 18, 19, 20th. It will be shot in the West Caldwell, NJ. I’m humbly requesting the assistance of a skilled soundperson with gear to come out and give us a hand for 1 or 2 days.

Their will be some compensation, and a written contract stating full payment upon sale of the short. If the short gets made into a 2 hr. movie then you will get first right of refusal as sound person on the feature. I know you have heard this before, but have you had it in writhing?

Food will be provided. I know that production and I like to eat, so it should be rather tasty.

It will be one very busy day and one very short day. The short day May 18 is sound for only one scene 2-3 hours. The long one May 20th will be 12 big ones.

If you can’t do both days maybe you can do one?
Pre-production has been working hard in order not to dilly dally during the shoot days, as so not, to waste time.

The story is actually good, I think it can sell. I am very fussy and this seams to have the stuff that makes for good story telling. Although if it gets made into a movie I think that the Hall Mark Channel or PAX would pick it up.
It’s a story, not lots of special effects. Remember stories? They make you feel more emotions than just adrenalin. Not that adrenalin is bad. ummmmmmmm adrenalin

Send me an E-Mail if you an help Naturalsettings@optonline.net

Hi everyone!

This is kind of a random thing to ask here - but you never know your luck!

I'm after a song that sounds like Muse's "Falling Away With You".

We are currently using that song as a temp track and it fits in perfectly! But, as this particular film is a no-budget short film, getting the rights to it kinda tricky.

So, I'm hoping that someone here knows of a band that sounds like Muse (or that least that particular song!). Or, if someone knows a member of Muse that I can get in contact with - that would be even better!

Or, if you're a composer, and think you can come up with something that has the same "feel" as "Falling Away With You", and don't mind doing something for love - then please get in touch with me!

I've got a couple of people currently searching through MySpace and other online band communities, but no luck so far!

Again, sorry for the random question - but this place has answered some pretty crazy stuff before!

Thanks in advance...

Chris!

Bill,

I have a DVX and an XH-A1. Please contact me for more info about the shoots. I live about 1 1/2 hours north of Columbia.

Thanks!

Robbe

Chris,

I can hook you up with a couple of people. One is a very good composer and can do just about any style. Contact me.

I'm looking for a talented DP to build a working relationship with. We are a small company doing Music videos and we have one coming up in early June. The pay is there, although it isn't great. The cam is HVX 200 w/ M2 or Mini 35 adapter. The shoots will only be two day shoots. The projects are getting bigger and bigger so I'm looking for someone who wants to work with me for a while.

Please email me here:

slimothytim@yahoo.com

Rock on.

You might have a little more luck if you told people where you were located. :)

Might help if people knew where you were located.

Cam will be static just come in setup and leave wide primarily. Near Wheaton MD, will provide info if interested.

Hi Chris,

If you don't have to have lyrics and don't mind a very small buyout fee, there are a few tracks here which you could experiment with:

Music Search (http://www.2b-royaltyfree.com/downloads.asp?strRank=stay&rank=title&order=ASC&page=1&action=&rsProject_Type=7&rsMusic_Style=6&rsInstrumentation=4&rsMood=0&rsEdit_Type=0&rsAlbum_Title=1&rsComposer=0&rsTempo=8)

They're not all quite suitable but it's the most applicable search I could generate. You're looking for something around 95bpm if that helps.

Let me know how you get on.

Cheers,

Colin

Thanks for your help George! It's very much appreciated!

Colin, your link doesn't seem to work. It comes up with the following error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e14'

Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'.

/user-functions/string.asp, line 71

Sorry, thought it was under my name for some reason.

The shoots take place in and around the Los Angeles area.

Tim.

Sorry Chris!

That was really unfortunate - the server went down only last night, should be up again soon I hope.

Would have been nice if my web hosts had let me know. I'll let you know as soon as it's back up and running.

Colin

We're back up now!

PS: You should find 3 pages of tracks using the above search. If you aren't taken straight to the downloads page, just click the link a second time to pull up the search.

This is a New Zealand e shopping company. does any body have any information / dealt with this company. the site is globalmediapro.com.
They give home delivery with a reasonable price, the problem is they do not communicate in any form. it's quite difficult to know their credentials.

Sorry for not replying to this before but on top of everything else I ended up with Kidney stones.

Dom:
Thanks for you lovely words about my Dad, he was all the things you said and more, so many people owe so much knowledge that came from his 47 years !!!!!!! in the business, he and his assistants wrote the book on location multitrack music recording at a wonderful time to be in the business, it was the golden age of Music, film and Tv, let's not forget that Ealing Film Dept was the biggest Film dept in the world back then, to his final day Dad was pushing for better training using all the old skills mixed with the latest gear, he never lost his passion for film making, we were both enjoying building up the new hire side of the company, he loved working with the new camera's and monitors we bought, but the company will go on in his name, I'm sure I will find your number in Dad's address book but if not I'll inform you of the memorial service we are planning for Dad.


Tip:
I can totally understand what you are saying, in fact Dad is certainly about in the Studio, in fact our cat came wandering in the other day as I was talking away to Dad, the cat just stared eyes WIDE open right over my shoulder, funnily enough it was the first time she had come into the studio and it was the day that Dad's ashes came home :-)

I'll hunt the book out :-)

We are located in Washington about 90 minutes from Seattle and we are almost ready to turn our documentary into a DVD.

Shot on Sony XDCAM HD 350, edited in FCP Studio.

Includes Narration, interior/exterior i/vs (shotgun and lav mics), conference speakers (squeakers in some cases because of off-mic probs) plus added FX and music tracks.

Duration is 90 minutes, give or take a few frames.

It's not at all bad sound-wise as is, but requires someone with a top track record to add that extra genius touch and sweeten things up for DVD release.

The kicker is, we want to release it in the first week of July....so we need the sound tweaked "right now."

If you live around here (Seattle.Portland area) or know anyone who does that would be great.

We'd like to hear from anyone interested in the project - even if it's just to point us in the right direction to get this done.

I'm filming a paintball tournament series, 5 events, 1 day per event roughly 3 hours of actual tape/filming... I'm there for 8 hours + 4 hours of driving per event...

Then editing all of the footage into a 60 minute DVD and having it duplicated 100-200 times+ (He's paying for duplication)

So figure 40 hours there + 20 hours driving + x hours editing.

I'm just trying to figure out a realistic price-range, because I'm not sure how many DVD's he can actually sell vs. how much it's going to cost him to do this...

In a case like this duplication and distribution are his problems, not yours. You need to figure out what it will take you complete the project to his and your satisfaction and then charge an hourly rate that makes sense to you.

How much do you want to be paid per hour for this kind of work?

Muscular Development Magazine and Mike Pulcinella Video Productions are collaborating on a bodybuilding documentary, what we hope will be the "new" Pumping Iron for this generation.

Six of the top, amateur bodybuilders from all over the country will be profiled for 16 to 18 weeks as they prepare to meet in November and battle it out at a national level contest. I estimate that we would need between 20-30 hours of footage for each of the six competitors. We will need to see them in a variety of situations, not only in the gym, but at family gatherings, on the job, in the supermarket, etc. The object is to show the hardships and sacrifices that these athletes make for this strange, misunderstood sport.

The contestants are currently being auditioned so we don't yet know in what cities/towns that we will need shooters, but I was hoping to get some input from all of you as to what your hourly/day rates would be to shoot digital video footage and send it to us here in Philadelphia.

Please supply your contact info so that I can get in touch with you if your city is among the ones chosen.

Thanks,
Mike Pulcinella

Will this be USA only?

Thanks,

Will this be USA only?

Thanks,
Vito

That's a good question! I am not involved with the auditioning process so I don't know. I will find out. It's very possible that there will be some contestants from Canada. I will suggest to the producers that they consider choosing subjects from countries other than USA.

If you were part of this project, what would be your rate for shooting?

At average of over $3.20/gallon...you'll definitely want to charge enough to cover the gas (that's a lot of driving) and an oil change when you are finished. At the bare minimum, or at least include it in there.

Looking for AN XL2 w/wide angle, Shooter for 2 hour shoot on June 16th - it is dance recital @ York College in Jamaica. show starts at 7PM need to be on site no later than 6PM - this is B roll back stage and some front of stage. Please, only serious shooter respond. we can discuss price.

He's done a lot for me in the past, part of the agreement was he purchased a new camera for me to use (HV10... $900) as my old one was about to break, he agreed (he is the owner, and will sell it at the end of the summer)

Regardless, I don't think it's worth it for him to do it, because the amount of time and effort I would have to put into this, he'd lose money. If I made it so he didn't, then I would have been making like $5 an hour + lost money on gas.

I'll discuss it with him...

I'm in MN, don't know what I would charge for day rates. I've only ever shot for myself so far. I've done several weddings, but I just ran a camera for my dad for that...he gets the family discount ;) I'll shop around a little in this area and see what folks charge.

Hi Mike,

If you were part of this project, what would be your rate for shooting?

Sent you an email...

Thanks,
Vito

Thank you all for your responses.

I found out that the contest is open only to residents of the USA.

I am in the process of coming up with a proposal and a budget for this project. Your input has been valuable. Hopefully some of you will be hearing from me in the near future. In the meantime, if anyone else would like to submit a resume please feel free to do so.

Thanks,
Mike

Hey everyone, I'm on the road for non-film work and will be spending the long weekend in San Fran. I've got my HD100 tapeless rig with me so I'm willing to lend a hand or B-cam for a good SF lunch and demo reel footage. I don't know this area at all; any recommendations for places to visit/shoot?

If you make it to the Golden Gate bridge, then you will have plenty of nice photo ops. On the north end of the Gate, there is a road immidiately after the bridge you can take up a hill where you can get awesome views of the golden gate and a nice ocean view. Have fun in the city!

Hi,

I'm shooting a low budget movie in Los Angeles between 6th and 21st June and we'll be needing an XL H1 for a couple of days for 2nd unit work. We could alternatively use one of the newer cameras like the A1 or whatever provided they shoot HD 24f mode.

We already have a 2nd unit camera operator.

Does anyone out there in La want to make a few bucks renting their gear to responsible and experienced - and fully insured - professionals?

Email me direct at harry323@pacbell.net.

Thanks,

Harry

Hello to all!

My name is Adair Cole and I am directing a SAG short film this weekend (May 26 and 27) in Los Angeles. If you are interested, you can find the script here: http://www.toms-undies.org/the87. Our cast is as follows: Mark Erman, Anthony Ray Parker (The Matrix, Xena Warrior Princess), Kelly Knox (Rock Star, American Dreamz), Elizabeth Blanco (Paradise Hills, Mind of Mencia) and Mark Arnold (Desperate Housewives, Boy Meets World).

We are shooting with the HVX-200 and a Brevis with Nikon lenses. AND we are currently looking for some people in the following positions: gaffer, first AC, sound mixer, boom OP, grip, PA and warddrobe.

We are not entirely without in the above positions, but -- rather than having our inexperienced/uninterested/but entirely loyal friends fill all of the above positions -- we thought posting the information here on the forums that we use regularly would be a great way to network.

If you are interested, shoot me an e-mail: adair@toms-undies.org (mailto:adair@toms-undies.org). Please keep in mind that our budget is limited, so the best we can do is credit, lunch, gas money and a copy of the finished film.

Thanks for reading.
