I've got your solution: You wear a REALLY big hat, and you cut a hole in it, and you have the VX2000 (strapped to your head, of course) peeking through. Bingo! Hands free hidden camera show. When you have to change tapes, you say, "Uh, I gotta go to the bathroom" (or something).
Another thing you might consider is filling a niche. Do you know how many strange fetish movies there are these days? They even have movies where people get tickled (for real). So, I'm thinkin' "plumber's crack movies". Start a whole new genre. . .create a whole new fetish/perversion that people didn't even know they had. You'll rake in millions. I ought to be living in NY/NJ pretty soon, and if I have a project, you can pull cables for me or whatever. I'll be one of those guys I just told you not to work for because I'm basically just a schmoe with camera taking advantage of a guy willing to work for free. If that doesn't dissuade you, however, then groovy. Can't get more honest than that. |
1.6x in Toronto (to borrow)
I'm heading away on a shoot and spent all my money getting my Xl1s fixed, and have no money to buy necessary equipment.
I'm looking for someone in Toronto who may be interested in swapping equipment from time to time. I have lots of the cool gadgets for the Xl1, but what I really need for the shoot is a 1.6x extender In return, I can always lend batteries, a 3x lens, and if we really trust each other, my 35-350 EOS lens. So let me know if your an XL1s owner, and would mind lending gear. email me at michaelds@(remove)digitalcrossing.ca |
HI I'm George! I live in Harrisonburg, Virginia. I work at a local PBS station here in town.We mainly do documentaries and live studio work. I shoot and edit a lot of stuff on the side as well. I have a JVC dv5000 and a JVC HD1. I edit on Sony Vegas. I am a whiz with After effects. I am also trying to learn Animation Master, and Bryce 5. I am not too close to Williamsburg, but I thought I would send you a line regardless. Virginia videographers have to stick together. lol

Need Volunteers For National Project
Thought I'd let everyone knpow about a very worthwhile project called "Timeless Voices." It's an effort to collect the stories of aviators of all types for the EAA, or "Experimental Aircraft Association." It's a great way to do some meaningful video production and have your contributions be seen by thousands.
Goals of Timeless Voices of Aviation - To collect thousands of first person video oral history recordings from individuals who have impacted aviation's development. - To document and preserve these recordings for future generations of family members, teachers, students, historians and others. - To make the recordings accessible through an on-line video history archive, and initiatives such as Museum displays and TV productions._ - To engage thousands of volunteers in the rewarding process of gathering video oral history recordings. Being a member, and a contributor, I've enjoyed shooting interviews of people with powerful stories. Personally, I've been trying to get interviews with the older guys who flew in WWII, Korea, or Vietnam. The WWII veterans are passing away at a rate of over 1200 a day. Some of my video is on display at the museum in Oshkosh. Please visit the website at: <http://www.timelessvoices.org/> It's easy to find people to interview. Check the EAA website for a local chapter, and make a call or visit your local airfield and ask around. That old guy sitting on the front porch of the flight service building has some amazing stories. You just never know. I hope you'll consider it. Thanks, Jeff Patnaude Fly Baby N357G <http://home.comcast.net/~patnaude/flybaby.html> |

Jeez, Bass. You are one funny m***er f****r. I am in the middle of viewing your reel now. What part of Jersey will be be visiting?
|
I'm in Fredericksburg...
Hello... |
Whereever there be cheap apartments (thinkin' Hoboken or somewheres). Got any work for me? Know anyone who does? I'm hittin' people up.
Now, let's not take this thread away from Brian. |
Robert
|
Damn. Robert. Sorry.
I'm sure that really helps validate my arguments. |
I'm in VA Beach. Nothing to put on your reel until later next spring, but wanted to say hello anyway. :)
BTW- Does anyone know of a hungry DP in our area? If he light it and work it I'll give him a DVX100 and mini35+ lenses to play with for a few days. (as long as he works for me for a few days too LOL) |
Forget Hoboken, Joshua.
It's becoming very yuppy. Very expensive to live there. Unless, of course, you have money. Maybe Robert can put you up? I bet you'll never have any plumbing issues in your apartment. If you shoot anything in South Jersey like the Atlantic City and surrounding area, look me up. I have pretty much the same equipment setup as you plus alot of lighting.
Robert, if you have time and you want to actually get involved in a project, who knows, maybe Josh, you and I can collaborate and shoot something in the NY/NJ area. Three camera setups are always fab. If you need a police car, police station or two I can probably swing that as well. Hey Bravo, did you check out Josh Bass's "reel"? He's pretty damned good. I'm a bit jealous. Robert, check out Bass's website and let that be inspiration for you in your creative digital endeavors. I bet Josh devoted himself to honing his craft by doing doing doing. That's the only way it gets done. Pick up your camera and use it. I have my very first lesbian wedding video this Saturday. (I kid you all not. I am hoping to break into a brand new "niche" with this one. I may even put "Alternative Lifestyle Friendly" on my business cards! BWWAAA HAAA HAA HAA HHHAAAA!) Let's see how long it takes for Bravo to call me with his ball bustin' questions like "Hey Hugh, can I come up and be your assistant?" or "Hey Hugh, are you shooting the honeymoon for free?" The, er, "groom" used to be a Playboy Bunny and the bride is a concert pianist. The clock is ticking. Tick... tick... tick... |
Thanks for the info , this type of work interests me very much as I am starting to do Video Biographies for people. I have checked out the timeless voices website for info.
I work at the VA hospital in Cincinnati so I have access to a large number of Vets so it should not be hard to find some to interview. |
Thanks Samuel!
I've been told by Zach Baughman (hope I remember the spelling here) that they are looking to have a television program in the future on one of the Discovery Channles- probably "Wings." They do several shows currently. Jeff :>) |
Let's continue the Josh Bass devoted portion of our discussion in Private (I won't hit on you. . .maybe), and let Robert (Brian, who's Brian?) retake this thread. And now you've invited Mr. Bravo's criticism of my reel. . .my world is crashing down around me. I fear Mr. Bravo will tear me apart.
Anyway, Bob, I suggest a multiple route, if it's really what you want. You can use your cam to do stuff, and PA on bigger stuff, and steal the secrets from the big stuff and apply it to your stuff, if possible. To reiterate, on working for free with the cam, I state one last time that in my experience, if you don't outright lie, you won't be hired for anything you're not qualified for. Let's say you misrepresent yourself on your resume. Most people want to see a reel. So, let's say your borrow so and so's reel, who's awesome, and say it's yours. Chances are they're going to want to meet with you and discuss the project prior to just hiring you outright. During such meeting, you will sound like dumbass who doesn't know anything, because you faked your resume and are in possession of a reel that wasn't done by you, and your prospective employers will think "Hmm. . .good res and reel, but what a dumbass," and you won't be hired. The people that will hire you won't have enough pull to get you blackballed or blacklisted or whatever. Anyway, lots of fools continue to make money even though they suck (see threads on this forum about amateuring incompetent wedding videographers, for instance), and you don't sound like a fool. If you know how to use that gear, that's half the battle. Now you have to get the craft part of it down--the artistic technique. Now go make your "Plumbers Gone Wild" video, and pull cable on "Resident Evil 3: Why Did We Make This?" in the meantime. |
Orlando work needed
We got a new boss at work and he's cleaning house. Unfortunately I just bought a house and have to pay for it. If anyone in the Orlando area knows of anyone needing audio/video help please let me know. I have a resume and I own/operate a Canon XL-1s.
-Tim |
Sorry to hear about your troubles, Tim. If I hear of anything around town, I'll definitely send it your way. Good luck.
|
Not my style.
No Josh, it is not in my nature to tear people apart. I much rather give constructive criticism, in a positive way, than just trashing the work and its creator. I would rather not say anything before going on a destructive rampage...which brings me to your reel.
This is what I have to say about that...................................... Only kidding! Your stuff was very impressive and like the Great DiMauro, I laughed my ass off with "NinJews"! Keep up the good work, and if you get a chance to hook up with Hugh, (and I don't mean this in the Biblical sense), I think you guys would produce some very cool stuff! RB |

Shooter Needed NW Atlanta (Cobb) 6 Saturdays
We are looking for someone to shoot little league football for the next six (6) saturdays. We have all equipment needed - we need the shooter. The games usually start at 9am and go till late evening. When the sun goes down at sunset, I usually transition from photography to shoot video - so your day is done. Pay starts out at $150 for the day - and can be renegotiated for good quality shooting.
This is not for someone that has X+ years shooting for Fox Sports with a full day rate! Doug Struchen |
I dont have a room but that is a great idea. Anything we can all do to help each other!!
|
Wish I could help Doug. I am booked with my daughter's cheerleading and marching band on Saturdays on the other side of town. ;)
You might check with your local high school (McEachern, Lassiter, whichever) and see if they have some video/film kids that want to do it. I will be using one for a band project. That pays well for a high school gig! |

I'm here in Norfolk
Hello Virginia! I'm a director at WTKR the CBS affiliate in Norfolk. I play around a lot at home on my G5 using Final Cut HD, Photoshop CS, and After Effects. I'm always trying to learn more and get involved with people trying to challenge themselves and come up with interesting projects to do. As of today I'm in the market for a Canon GL2 or XL1, whichever one I can get someone to sell me first. Until then I don't have a lot of "completed" projects or clips to put on your reel. Anywho, it's nice to know we got some guys around interested in some of the same things. I hope to hear from some of you in the future.
P.S. Be sure to post any of your work in the 'DV for the Masses' section of this forum. There aren't a lot of vidoes from our area in there. Mike |
Business Opportunity/Partnership
About me:
I am a professional photographer (still) that specializes in shooting Martial Arts, both schools and mostly competitions accross the country. www.onaimaging.com I am very well known in this vertical market and respected as a professional. I also shoot, quite a bit, NHL Hockey including the NJ Devils. I both live and house my studios in Freehold, NJ (Central NJ) and I am a single father to an 8 year old boy that lives with me. (He just received his brownbelt) I also own a Large format/Fine Art business that is doing quite well. www.onaprinting.com Equipment Many Apple Mac's, large HD Displays (Apple) laptops (G4) and all lic. software. On the imaging side I own 11meg cameras (Canon), Hasselblad (med format), proper lighting etc... Also, for the large format printing side I own a HP5500ps 60" 7 color awesome printer. New Business (possible partnership) To scale my Photography business and add new services I'm beginning to explore HDV. Now, NO ONE is filiming the Martial Arts competitions in HD and there are simply 100's of market opps coming about including working with some networks. (Cable) I have quite a number of relationships on the high level in this market and am already discussing HD filming the largest Martial Arts competition in the US for 2005. Now, while I understand Photography and imaging, I'm simply a novice in HDV and film but I'm learning fast. I now own the JVC 10U and have already begun my ed in filming and editing. I do have quite a way to go. But to enter the market quickly I may need to partner with someone (You?) that has the SOLID skills on that end and is a Professional with a proven and respect track record. Sorry, I can't partner with anyone just new to the market or a novice at this time. Are you interested? Do you have the professionalism that is demanded in a vertical market that is all about respect? By the way, one thing that business has exposed me to, Money (funding) is pretty easy IF you have the business plan, the numbers and market make sense and the Management team is rock solid. Thanks for reading. Very best, Tom |
Hello Tom,
So, to summarize:
|
Almost...
Ken, almost correct.
I did not "Sudenly" see potential. I purchased the JVC after exploring this market with a number of my clients and doing my own DD. I'm no dummy, I've been priv'd to be with some of the most sucessful mgt teams in the world including helping build the second largest IPO in Nasdaq's history. (NOT a founder) thanks for writting Ken. Very best, Tom |
