Helping Hands from 2013

[Justin Molush]

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!

We are on the hunt for a good documentary/news-shooter for a one day shoot in Manilla, probably one of the days between 16th and 19th of April.
We may be able to fly someone in from “nearby”. Maybe Bangkok, Singapore or Hong Kong.

The shoot is for a current affairs show on Swedish public service. HD 1080p25. Preferably a large sensor camera.

Slow year. Medical bills. Yay.

If you need a camera operator/producer, mostly doc and commercial, sports and narrative experience, skilled with most ENG, DSLR, and large sensor platforms, and single-person-crew operations, I'd appreciate your consideration. Professional, punctual, knowledgeable, and hardworking. Updated passport and immunizations, not afraid to get dirty or uncomfortable, will travel anywhere for most anything (no porn or weddings).

Hi guys,

I'm needing a camera operator for various jobs throughout the year. I'm based in Dumfries in Scotland so ideally you would be within an hours drive and have transport. All equipment is supplied.

Mostly weddings and during weekends. Good daily rate plus expenses.
Must be ultra reliable and well presented. Must have nice manner with clients.

Most shoots are two cam one operator.

Please send any info and examples of work to swiftproductions@live.co.uk or PM me. Phone 07980 477434

Thanks,

Lee.

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

I can vouch for Justin, my compnay has used his services before. He is very knowledgeable and you can certanly learn from him.

[Ryan Jones]

Bump. Any Gold Coast people on here?

[John Wiley]

Hi Ryan,

Just sent you an email.

[Ryan Jones]

Thanks for that, received and responded.

The position is now filled - I look forward to working with you John!

[Justin Molush]

Thanks for the vouch Keith - And the show season is basically here so if anyone in Montreal knows of someone who wants to learn how to run a jib, is going to school for film/production/marketing and wants to learn some of the ins and outs of production, or any of the stuff I listed above, throw them my way! I don't bite I swear!

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.
