Hi there,

I know of a friend who does professsinal 3D modeling but they are based in Singapore. Their works are great. You'll have to discuss the budget with them though. They've done some major work for television stations. Look for LIGHTS AND SHADOWS in Singapore. I think the blimp has to be in Alpha channel for it to be keyed out in AEfx.

Regards
Nina

my info is on its way

Thank you Nina for your reply. I'm currentelly working with Nick Jushchyshyn, but I'll keep the info for future reference.

Thanks

Arrrrgh! I'll be in J-U-S-T in school during that time. Oh well, maybe next time. I'm located in Mississauga too by the way but will be in Windsor from Sep. to Dec.

Kaleem,

Thanks for your interest. Perhaps on a future project.

Very important. Listen I'm going to need a physical address in which to send the demo,cover letter and resume to.

They can't deliver to a PO box, I've been on the phone with them all morning since it was to be delivered LAST WEEK!

so if you can help me out with that we can get you our package. Thanks!

Looking for crew for Instant Films this weekend in LA
 

Hallo gang:

I'm heading into another Instant Films (www.instantfilms.tv) weekend, my 10th as a director...! I need some helping hands in the following areas:

Grip/electric
Assistant editor (need to be proficient with Final Cut Pro)
Makeup/hair
Producer/AD

It would be a one-day committment, this Saturday the 20th. I'd probably need the assistant editor on Sunday as well, if possible. The screening is Sunday night, it's a gala affair (400 people) and a party afterwards.

Email me for more info, or post here. I'll be shooting with the Mini35/DVX100a combo, and hopefully Firestore.

best,

Looking for work in Austin, Texas
 

Hi all,

I am a recent transplant to Austin, Texas and am looking around for work in all aspets of production. I have a solid foundation in industrial/educational production, yet would like to move into something that allows for more creative challenges. If any one on this forum has a suggestion please feel free to help.

M. Richard Steele

OK, got the makeup/hair person...

How about this: there's gotta be someone in here based in LA who is FCP proficient who wants to assist me with the edit. Here's what that position would entail:

Sat. (shoot day): capture clips onto Powerbook/Firewire drive starting late afternoon at the shoot location OR transfer files from Firestore FS-3 (not positive yet whether I will have this system in place for the shoot). Organize and rename clips based on script notes and slates.

Sun. (if possible): work with me at my house as we assemble the (hopefully!) award-winning film of the festival. We will have two edit systems available so we can split tasks. I'm also working with a composer, so I will need to spend time with him and have the assistant keep assembling in the meantime.

Sun. night: we rush the film to the LA Center Studios and bask in the glory.

If you haven't experienced a 48-hour filmmaking festival before, it's a rush. And even though I'm one of the organizers of the event, I do honestly think that it's the best version of all of those festivals. We handpick the participants, so the level of filmmaking is high.

sure, I am making a short 25min dark comedy DV feature.

Can't really go into detail but it's about a man who stumbles onto

life's little ironies.

Put the location of your project in the SUBJECT HEADER.

visual effects artists and cinematographers
 

With the HD10, I'm shooting a new piece and the intent is for it to be visually stimulating.

Sparing you details, the two "elements" of the piece are "Listen" and "motion".

I have a very talented modern dancer who will be acting these elements. I hope to create a "mystical" environment for him to act in, and I'm looking for suggestions. It will be shot in this incredibly stunning landscape, that I what to transform to look like the film "What Dreams May Come". I understand what was put into that project, but I was wondering if any of you can suggest what may be achievable for me using AE or FCP plugins for motion and visual effects. Can probably do some sort of compositing as well.

Thanks!!

Steven

Rick, have you looked into government grants for education? Bob

Seeking work in NY
 

Hi, all. I'm looking to move to (and work in) New York in the near future, and I'm hoping some of you can help me out. Surely some of you have companies or perhaps know of some up there, and surely some of you who have companies can use a guy like me.

Looking for work as a camera operator/ DP /Videographer. My experience is almost exclusively with miniDV. I am, of course familiar with the Canon XL1s, and to a lesser degree, with the DVX100/100a, and have briefly fondled a PD150, a TRV950 (I think), and the awesome Sony F900. I know the basice layout of ENG-style cams, though I haven't used them a whole lot.

If it happens to be shooter/editor work, that's okay, even though I'm not big on editing. I've got a lot of time with Vegas 3/4, if that means anything to anyone.

Full-time would be excellent, but I won't sneeze at anything.

In addtion, see many other samples of work at www.joshbass.com (I personally DP'd and shot everything on their)

In addition, if anyone has any tips on living up there, as far as doing it affordably, thanks.

David Mintzer, a member here, lives up there, and said he can help me out a with some freelance work. I also shot with him down here in Houston, on a documentary about dancing dogs (yes, really). Hopefully he'll say good things about me.

Thanks for future responses to this post.

You have some very nice work in there, Josh!

Thank you.

GL-2 Folks...
 

Hello, all.

I have a project I'm just getting lined up that will be shot on a weekend day in the winter (probably early December). If everything goes smoothly, I will be looking for two GL-2s to be at the shooting along with mine.

I am located in Fonda, NY, which is about 35 miles west of Albany, right on the Thruway. If anyone might be interested, I will pay $100 for each camera for one long day of shooting. (Cash, of course, for your convenience.) Starting about 7AM until 9PM.

As this is a very long day, you are more than welcome to leave your camera. I would, of course, provide you with all my ID, address and info so you know this isn't some sort of scam. If you'd prefer to stay with us on the shoot, that would be great as well.

I'm filming material that will complete a feature, which is being expanded from a short I have already completed and gotten some really great feedback on.

I am asking if there might be any interest, just so I can make alternate rental plans if no one here is in the vicinity or there is simply no interest. If you respond that this might be a "go" for you, that is certainly, in no way, obligating you, as I still don't have a solid date or anything. I just want to find out if I can use this avenue or if I need to look around for other rentals.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Bob,
I appreciate your reply and I have not even considered a gov grant. I have been really busy shooting these last few months, but now that school is back in session I will be getting calls about the club.

I have a waiting list of over 150 Girl Scouts for a video training day that we hope to do in October.

I have never applied for a grant from the gov before, but I will start a search this week. I have been tinkering with the idea of creating a non-profit organization called "Rick's Video Maniacs". Perhaps this will help as I start to apply for grants.
Starting a non-profit organization will also be a new thing for me.
I need to make sure that I can own my present company, and run a non-profit business and not violate any laws in the process.

I have not had much luck soliciting donations, perhaps there are a few folks that might be willing to sell me unused video gear such as SVHS cameras, lighting, monitors...

Any gear you might want to sell for very cheap.

For those who need proof that I really do work with the kids, please feel free to send me an e-mail, and I will be more than happy to put you in contact with some of the folks that mentioned a willingness to be references for my program.

I appreciate any and all advice offered.

Rick, the gov has lots of grant programs. Even the EPA has grants for Environmental Education programs. There is an Federal Agency out in Pueblo, CO that handles a lot of those. Try a search on Google. Bob

looking for a dolly
 

Hello everyone,

I'm making a film in baltimore and we want to get a shot where we have the camera hanging off the side of a passenger door of a moving car. This is the perspective we want...

http://cache.gettyimages.com/thumb/E009436.jpg?x=x&a=E009436&b=PDIB&t=1

We're looking for a dolly or some kind of equipment that will be able to hold the camera in this position and keep it sturdy. I'm in the Washington, D.C area. Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

Anthony

Sent you an e-mail

A dolly is not what you are looking for. You need a car mount. Lots of those available and they are all fairly expensive. Consider making your own.

Do use a protective lens filter as the chances that a front wheel will kick up dust, dirt, and gravel is fairly high.

Howd it go Charles?

It went well!

DVinfo.net member Nick Hiltgen joined me as assistant editor and did a great job of downloading clips from the Firestore onto a firewire drive, and relabeling them with scene numbers. At crunch time I realized that I needed an establishing shot and sent him out to steal a shot of a house exterior (he had to run away with the camera when the resident of the house came out to investigate!)

I ended up with a full crew of 10, with all of the bases covered. It was a long shoot (we went until 3:30 am) but a good one. The Mini35 is just too sweet, it really is. I love the pictures I get with it.

I gave myself 2 hours of sleep and started cutting. Didn't make the 6 p.m. deadline, but we don't hold the filmmakers to that in Instant Films, it actually makes a bit more drama at the screening when the films are arriving at the last second!

I was happy with the results. There were some extremely good films this time around. I'll post when they go up on our site.

Charles,

I just relocated to San Mateo, (about 15 miles south of San Francisco). Are there any plans for a 48 hour shootout up here in the near future?

Richard

When's the next one?

Thanks again Bob. You are indeed a great source for new ideas for me. Please feel free to write me directly if you want to

Rcasuso@aol.com

Thanks again,
Rick

Richard:

We don't have any concrete plans to take our particular show on the road at the moment, although there are other variations on the 48-hour theme that do travel.

Gerald:

Details on our website at www.instantfilms.com. Next show is October 10th, and we have a "best-of" screening scheduled for Sept. 22nd--that should be a great evening.

You could try out the video gogh AFX plug-in from revision fx (www.revisionfx.com) that should give you the effect you're after.

Hello San Diego
 

I just moved to San Diego, CA from the horrible state of Maryland. Anyway, I'm looking to get involved with film out here and was wondering if anyone knew of any projects or production companies that need help. Besides my talent, I have a VX2100, AT-897, ZR-80 for my editing deck and am about to buy a new G5 with the new Apple production suite bundle. Let me know of anything. Thanks!

The film is up for viewing--see this thread

(let's post comments, follow-ups there. Thanks!)

I am here and an somewhat settled. The offer still stands.

Anyone with an HD10 in Chicago
 

I was just wondering who had a HD10 in Chicago for a short possibly being shot in October. Email me if interested at lkd_852003@yahoo.com
