Need an XL2 pro in Tidewater VA region
 

I'm looking for someone in the Tidewater/ Hampton Roads Virginia region that knows the Canon XL2 like the back of his or her's hands!

I need some hands-on training. I simply do not have the time to fool around with the camera to learn from trial and error -- and I've made a few errors during shoots that I'm sure I can learn from. But I need a fast track! Just the basics. Willing to pay, if reasonable.

What does this mean?
 

Hi,

I feel like this is something that I should already know the answer too...I have not heard the term before "shoot spec piggyback." Can someone elaborate on this topic?

Thank you, Lisa

I can't know for sure without reading the context, but having a shoot "piggyback" is to use the "real job" primary shoot's rentals to make a low-budget secondary shoot happen.

I've known people to "piggyback" a spec spot onto a real job over a weekend, to take advantage of the longer weekend rental. Often it's the same director or DP.

desperately seeking people to re-edit raw film footage
 

stray cinema is an open source film.

im looking for people to remix the raw footage from a film i directed (shot on DV) in london last year. it's possible you may make a better cut of the film than i will...

we will navigate the film experiment out of the online digital world, into the 'real world' with a screening of the top five films (voted by our online community) in london. at the screening we want to have vj's mixing the raw footage to live music. we also want footage from the event being web cast live onto straycinema.com, along with music, live chat and blogging.

the website (www.straycinema.com) launched two weeks ago, and we have just one submission so far. this has had over 600 views! we desperately need some more film remixes up there, so if anyone has some free time and would like to get involved, it would be much appreciated.

thanks so much,

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

Basically there is a company that contacted me about stock footage and they asked if I would be interested in shooting spec piggyback. I had not heard the term myself. I knew someone here would have some info.

Appreciate the help.

Best Regards,
Lisa

Anyone from France (Paris)?
 

as mentioned elsewhere on this board, i've ended up looking for either Panasonic DVX100 (A/B) or Canon XL2. i won't be going into details, but most possibly i'll be buying one of those (through a friend) from France. so would there be anyone from Paris on this message board to give me names of local shops that sell such camcorders (preferably at a considerable/discount price)? this is fairly urgent, as there are certain deadlines. thanks in advance.

Hi Aram
In paris you have Cirque Video on the Boulevard de Beaumarchais.. http://www.lecirque.fr/ not far from the Bastille or check out http://www.videoplus.fr/

both have the gear at reasonable prices...

or http://www.dvloc.com/

Regards

Gareth

thanks, Gareth, i've checked those websites. but it looks like those camcorders cost more in the UK and Europe, than in the States :-(
