Didn't mean to offend anyone, but the price was based on Governmental statistics concerning the average rate for camera operators ($21/hr) Truth of the matter is the short feature could be shot less than (4) hours but you have to consider the SAG actors and actresses have full time jobs. The process can be handled better in four shoots (3) afternoons (1) morning. Large portion of the (5) hours mentioned was mainly driving in the metroplex.
(1) shoot consists of filming the outside of a building, an actor in a lobby, and
footage of cubicles, no more than (4) minutes of filming for $100 dollars. If it's not for you... no worries

Arnold, I have no way of contacting you. No email or phone info provided. I might be of some assistance to you on your project. You can email me off forum and I will get in touch with you. BTW, I am one of the XL2 forum mods here at DVINFO.

I am looking for constructive comments on my reel.
Almost entire content is shot on dv, then post in after effects and 3ds max.
It's for the New York market.

Thanks

Very very nice. :)

My only feedback would be to recommend moving a stronger shot up to the front of the reel instead of the girl/rain.
The composition and effects for the girl and storm in the first shots are not as strong as the rest of the reel.

The general rule for reels is to always put your absolute best material first. Reviewers are expecting this and (faced with stacks of demo reels to cull through) might actually stop after the first 10 seconds. Using the "photography" style sequence for the opener, for example, could be much a more effective, attention getting, way to start IMO.

Great work!
Good luck!

Thanks to everyone who volunteered and came out for the shoot. We got everything we needed and then some!

Thanks again,
Tim

Recording studio needed in So Cal...
 

I have a friend who is trying to get her break into stardom in Hollywood. She has done several voice overs for big clients in the past and a bunch of movies.
Her problem now is that she has left the market where she is known and is trying to break into the Hollywood scene.
She needs a budget-but-good recording studio (at least an iso booth with a good mic and clean sound) that could either use her voice on a few projects, use her as on-screen talent as payment, or charge minimum bucks for jobs that she has lined up...
Let me know if there's anything out there for her!
Thanks!!

I don't know if anyone has responded to your request, but I am interested. I do not own an XLH1, but I have worked with it. I do own and have worked extensivley with a Canon XL2, and some of the mechanics of the 2 cameras are the same. I am based in Salt Lake City, but travel to Vegas often. If you are in need of crew at this point, don't hesitate to contact me if you wish.

Great boutique recording studio
 

I just shot a video of a top vocal coach in a cool little recording studio that is not too expensive and the guy who runs it is great. It's in Garden Grove on the north end of Orange County. Not too far from most of metro LA.

It's called "Virlouise" and the owner is Bill Davidow.

Phone number is: 714-530-0389

Website is www.virlouise.com.

email is Virlouise@Virlouise.com

I was just real impressed and thought the place was cool.

Thanks Nick, I think that you have a good point there (we're just so sentimental to some of our work...it's hard to let it go....)

I think I am going to place the "rain" at the end with my name sinking :) in the water.

Anybody else?

Maybe cut it down a bit. Your work is more than strong enough to where you can whet appetites by not showing them so much. That's a personal opinion, however. I agree with the post above as well. Overall, very nice and impressive stuff.

The biggest thing for me is dont make a general demo reel.....make one for a specific company in mind. Definitely trim it down get the message across a lil quicker. It could just be me and my MTV mindset. :)

also to me it seemed like the timing at the begining was great but somewhere in the middle i lost the "beat".....but dont read too much into that :)

so you are sending this out to get a job as _________ ?

overall very good- excellent work !!!

IMO if you are going to start with the little girl - start on the wide shot. get me to 17sec ASAP ...

the first 17 sec is good .. 17- 1:10 is excellent ..1:10 -1:33 is good ..1:33 to end is very good - excellent ..

excellent !!!!
