Corporate Training Videographer (Santa Monica, CA)
 

My client (a Very Large Company) is doing a training in Santa Monica, CA on Tues 3/12 - Wed 3/13. I need a "back-of-the-room" video shot of the entire day, broken down into individual 720P Quicktime files. The audio might be available from a sound board, but if not, you'd need to put a shotgun at the front of the room to capture the audio. Most of the presentations will be people either at a podium or wandering in front of the room. The training room will be small-ish (maybe 50 people or so). No need for b-roll or multiple cameras. Please contact me with any questions. This is for professionals with their own camera gear and proficiency with video editing. Final files will need to be on a disk headed to me within 48 hours of the completion of the gig. Thank you!
Rate is $900/day for two days, including edits.

MAY need a non-dSLR shooter in Ottawa, Ontario for one day shoot early March
 

Hey Ottawa colleagues!

A client of mine in the health care area is looking to have a number
of short video pieces (1-2 minute clips, same location, same
participant, shot over a couple of hours ON LOCATION) shot in Ottawa
with a time schedule of the next couple of weeks.

I have offered to post this request for services here as we are unsure
if the budget can support me traveling to Ottawa for this piece.

You would be provided with interview questions aimed at deriving
semi-scripted responses from the participant on location.

You would be responsible for getting camera-shot media to the client
(ALL footage - not compressed).

Sync sound and long form recording is required so NO dSLR shooting on this one.

I would suggest Sony EX1/EX3 or FS100/700 or similar to cut against
what already exists.

Professional shooters only. No recent film grads.

As well, you would be required to relinquish all Intellectual Property
rights to the footage and would not be able to use the material in
your own promotions. Keep this in mind when you quote.

The subject matter involves First Nations material, specifically
around colonization and other sensitive/emotional subjects so
sensitivity of the parties involved is paramount. As well, you should
be aware that this material CAN cause an emotional response in
yourself as well. You MUST have a superior level of comfort going
into this proposal with that.

The exact dates are yet to be determined.

CAVEAT EMPTOR:
I have also submitted a quotation for this service that would see me
flying in if selected. My quote has already been submitted to the
client - rest assured, your quote is not being used to substantiate
mine.

I would suggest that with pre-planning, shooting on the day and
packaging up material for shipping that a full day rate is probably
appropriate but use your own judgement.

GEAR:
As mentioned earlier, an HD camcorder with sync sound (1080P - frame
rate to be discussed)
Location lighting - battery powered preferred Prepare for 2 - 3 point
lighting, daylight balanced.
Wireless lavalier (high quality - Sennheiser, Sony, Lectro) and/or
overhead boom mic (shotgun)
Tripod

Proper focus, exposure, white balance, composition and SUPERIOR audio
are all expected. No audio dropouts or wireless noise will be
accepted.

Email me at
roaddogmedia (at) gmail.com

and I can put you in touch with my client.

Re: Vancouver shoot- March 1
 

Noel, did you get responses to this? I believe that day is free if you still need someone.

Re: HDV Tape to HD needed
 

^ Fantastic idea,

if there were available around here -

Re: HDV Tape to HD needed
 

I used to have a JVC-HD1, which was 720p that would play tapes from HD-100, the ancestor to the 250. Maybe you could find an HD1 cheap on eBay or something.

Re: HDV Tape to HD needed
 

Actually I think the issue is that his HV20 is 1080i, so it's only normal that the 720p tape won't play.

Re: HDV Tape to HD needed
 

Per the specs, the HV20 can play back 1080/60i, 1080/24F, 1080/30F and 1080/24P. So it's not going to work on both counts, no 720 and no 30P. I have a HV30 and a Sony HDV Recorder/Playback deck. The only thing that I can play back is the 60i. Canon has a way of doing the progressive that is incompatible with Sony equipment and most likely JVC. If you had shot in 1080/60i or 1080/24P then you might be able to use the HV20 as a playback deck. Try something besides Canon for play back.

Re: HDV Tape to HD needed
 

I hate to differ with everyone but I use my HV20 all the time to play HDV tape shot in 1080 30P (Original camcorder Canon XL series). The fact that you are using a JVC machine to create the tape shouldn't have any detrimental effects. You don't have the playback set to DV, do you?

Re: HDV Tape to HD needed
 

There are two flavors of HDV. There's HDV(1) which is 720 only, by JVC, and HDV(2) which is 1080 only, by Sony & Canon. They are not compatible in terms of playback. In other words a JVC deck will not play back tapes recorded on Sony HDV camcorders, nor will a Canon camcorder play back 720p HDV1 video recorded on a JVC camcorder.

Re: HDV Tape to HD needed
 

Yes, the original poster needs to be able to play back HDV1 files. The old JVC HD1 camera I had was HDV1, like the JVC HD 100 family. DVinfo.net had a rather large HD1 section back in the day. There may still be some of those old cameras on Ebay.

Not to wander off topic, but the HD1 was very ergonomic for hand held work. The hand grip would swivel. Oh so comfortable on the wrist.

Montreal - Need production assistant for automotive shoots
 

I am looking for a production assistant in the Montreal area that loves cars, that wants to be a part of helping me shoot marketing material for an aftermarket automotive company. Currently I am a one man show, so it can be difficult to cover all aspects at all times.

The unfortunate thing is, this position is really only for someone who is new in the video production field and is looking to get hands on experience/real world training with some equipment. If you are a college student that wants to help on weekends, or just want to get some hands on training, I can definitely dump tons of knowledge your way. While it is not my position, at this time it will not be paid, however if you are reliable and your are ready to learn, once the summer show season hits we can discuss compensation.

Things I can help you learn: basic to advanced editing techniques in Premiere, After Effects and some of its millions of uses including its use with Mocha/Matte Tracking/Masking/Motion Tracking/shot correction, Boujou into 3DSMax, 3D compositing with 3D product models integrated into live shots, color correction, precise Jib operation with remote controlled heads, DSLR shooting, product photography and strobe techniques, as well as audio recording.

If you are looking to learn then I'll gladly help you out!

AU Conference - Gold Coast
 

Hi there.

As part of my day job, I work for an Australian not-for-profit, and we run an annual conference on NFP technology, social media and marketing.

This year we are holding the conference on the Gold Coast, and are going to be live streaming one room.

I'll be setting up the computer gear for the live stream, and supplying my NX5 as the camera. I'm looking for a camera operator to give me a hand, as I'd rather have the backup while I'm doing the live mix.

You'll just need to look after the camera, make sure we're covering the stage. If you really don't want to use the NX5 we can discuss that.

Conference is May 16-17, and shifts are 9am-5pm.

We would prefer someone on the Gold Coast so we can avoid travel costs.

Please email rj@connectingup.org, or you can call (08) 8212 8555 ext 215.

Thanks!
Ryan

Re: Montreal - Need production assistant for automotive shoots

How can I get some experience editing footage (and shooting if possible)?
 

Hi all,

Not sure this is the best place for this, can't find a specific forum that this may go under.

Basicaly, I've been learning/using Adobe NLE on Windows for years. I am not a pro, but I have enough knowledge to put a project together and edit various video, including syncing audio tracks and such. I'd love to find a way into this business, but am not sure how I could become an editor for someone's project, and more so, assuming I was good enough, how much to charge. What is the going rate for an editor of footage anyway? In my case I'd be happy to do some work for free if I could gain some experience from it and someone was willing to pull the trigger with me. I plan on buying a 4K BM camera with the Davinici software and learn to use that eventually. I've done a little bit with AE but mostly from tutorials.

I also have some gear I'd love to use to shoot with, although I am aware that I'd be bound to a limited range within the area I live in, but would love to know how I can get on some shoots to get some more experience?

Thank you.

Re: How can I get some experience editing footage (and shooting if possible)?
 

Hi Kevin, look around your area for video camera clubs, but don't race in and join up. See if you can check their references, talk to current members,
ask around to find out whether it'll suit what you want to do.

There maybe trainee openings at your community TV outlet, especially if you'll work for free. If you do get in, never ever be late, always offer to help ..
and learn to make a good cup of tea. Even if you have to travel a bit, try working out a work schedule. Then again, there might be a local video wedding outfit you could team up with, even just carrying the gear to start with. Or a company that does real estate videos, or legal depositions.

Where ever you get started, you'll be on your way to building a valuable reputation in the industry and it takes time, perserverance and plain hard work.
Good luck.

Cheers.

Re: How can I get some experience editing footage (and shooting if possible)?
 

I'd certainly have a chat to all the local production companies you may crack some work with one of them and wedding videographers are always on the lookout for someone who can assist and edit. I'd certainly consider giving you a try, mind you the swim here and back is a killer.

Re: How can I get some experience editing footage (and shooting if possible)?
 

That's Australian for coffee :)
