35mm adapter rental
 

Does anyone know of a place in the San Francisco Bay Area that rents a Letus or other 35mm adapter setup for a Canon XH A1? I'm going to be shooting a short movie and the producer would like to try to use a 35mm film lense.

I wasn't sure where to put this question but there seemed to be a good number of Letus posts in here.

Thanks in advance,
Garrett

David.


My apologies. I did not see your post until today otherwise I would have certainly steered you towards Location Equipment.

If you have not already, look up ScreenWest - ScreenWest

There is a facility for listing your services and CV.

I don't know when you departed WA but to be said, over more recent years, there seems to have been a move away from in-house production by the local TV stations to outsourcing production. My observation, not necessarily accurate is that the stations pared down their in-house production resources and former employees became contractors.

OBs also seem to be sourced out and casual camera operators brought in for studio events like Telethon.

Circling Shark Productions is one which does lifestyle programs.

CM Productions has made cooking and food shows which have sold overseas for some time now.

WA punches well above its weight in documentary production. Prospero Productions is one entity I know of.

Screenwest's resource has most of them listed.

FTI (Film and Television Institute) in Fremantle was probably around when you left. (93351055 if my memory serves).

The Universities have courses for audio-visual media.

My own contacts with them have been quite limited. Ken Kelso and John Reed at Univerisity of Notre Dame, Fremantle Campus media lab. You might remember Ken Kelso as writer of "A Fortunate Life", the story of Albert Facey which was a three-part mini-series. John Reed is also a musician.

Rob Castiglione is a Fremantle resident. You've seen his posts here as a JVC owner. I think he may be thinking of going to the RED.

Steve Rice has the SI2K. He also does casual OB work setting up and camera operating.

Barron Films no longer exists however there is now a new entity derived I understand from much of the original team, Great Western Entertainment.

Bowtell, Clark and Yole were in commercials and advertising when you were here. Marketforce Advertising/Marketforce Productions is another. Edit Solutions, helmed by Bob Glover might be worth a call.

I myself am not an industry professional and am not networked except with a small loose group who help pro-bono on each other's projects. Assistant lensmonkey is about as good as it gets for me.

Cheers Bob,

Thank you for all the info. It was very nice talking to you on the phone.

Your beer is always waiting for you if you ever pop into the city...

Wedding/event videographer in Cancun
 

Funny that, as a wedding videographer, I come here looking for one, but none the less, I am.

We are looking for a full-service videography company to cover a vow renewal in Cancun taking place on February 21, 2009. 5 years ago, we didn't do a wedding video (I know, I know!) and I want to make sure we do this right. Please email me if interested. I would prefer some one local to Cancun, but for the right talent, we may be able to negotiate travel expenses for a couple days!

This is going to be a very private event, just "bride and groom", but I am looking for a more "involved" video... possibly getting into a "trash-the-dress" style shoot. Make sense? Interested? Shoot me an email!

Hey erick
 

I run a small production company here in ny. I specialize in mostly music videos. I will let you know of any upcoming shoots and maybe we could work together. Please email your information. I am located in queens.

Lighting hire, Rockville, MD area
 

Hi,

Anyone got any knowledge of a reasonable lighting hire firm in or near Rockville, MD. I am shooting a corporate promo for a UK customer with offices in Rockville and will need a very basic three point kit (or a couple of fluorescent banks) for a single day. I'm also possibly interested in hiring a tripod, minimum guideline Manfrotto 525/501, to save having to bring mine over.

Alternatively (and ideally), any brave shooters in the area willing to lend their own gear for a day to a fat, middle aged Brit for a sensible price (plus an evening's worth of beer?!). Looking at mid November-ish.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Ian . . .

Depends on your needs and budget. Many people suggest the Sennheiser G2 as entry-level. Avoid Sony's. If you want the Cadillac of wireless lavs, go Lectrosonics. B&H Photo to buy, definitely. Check the sponsors links, I'm sure some of them rent too...

I work part-time for a rental place online that'll ship Sennheiser G2's nationwide in the US: Video Microphones You might have a bad cable if you have a decent microphone.

looking to give a helping hand
 

I am looking to help out anyone in the NY/NJ/PA area who would need assistance on their film project. I am willing to do this to get some hands on experience in this craft. I do own some of my own eqpt [sony ex1 and glidecam 4000 for now] but if anyone is interested let me know. i am available on weekends. also certified on FCP editing , using photoshop , lightroom and digital photography. camera equipt own is nikon D3 , D300 and D200

ron

Why avoid Sony? I've been reading that Sony's new UTX-B2 is rock solidly built of metal, and outperforms the Sennheiser G2. Cost for a set is under $500. The older Sony UTX-B1 though, was a plastic toy.

I use Sony on all my jobs and it's has never let me down. The Sennheiser and Sony is on equal playgrounds the one is as good as the other there really should be no Sony vs Sennheiser debate. Most people that say Sennheiser is the best has never tried anything else and only say that cause the sales rep they buy from has never used another brand.

Professional film composer: available and affordable (internationally)
 

Hello!

My name is Erez Henya and I am an ambitious film composer collaborating with great filmmakers internationally. I love doing what I do and I give all my heart to it with a bold passion.

I also give a great importance to the pleasure of collaborating. There's nothing like working with new friends, not just filmmakers, that you feel open with. Great ideas come from both sides pretty easily this way, and the communication (a key component in any film production) is clear, many times also predictable.

I am ready for new challenges, and I would love to see you on my humble website and hear what you, personally, have to say about my music, and how you think I can execute your artistic vision to this great upcoming feature film of yours!

So there you go, my friend, please feel welcome to contact me at erez@erezhenya.com or through a PM here when you feel ready!

Need digital effects for upcoming high-profile project
 

I'm shooting a two-episode science fiction pilot called "The Nebula" next week and we are looking for someone to generate some material that can run on monitors in the spaceship set--diagrams, text screens, general futuristic looking displays. We will also be projecting this material onto the actor's faces who are working at those displays as a lighting gag. We will also have need in post-production for view out the windows of the craft to be generated (starfields etc) as we have a large green screen window on set.

We shoot next weekend, so time is short but I have the sense that there are quite a few people out there who might like doing this sort of thing or have already done it for one of their projects.! The set is pretty wild--it was built for "Firefly". Cast members include Seth Green, Tracey Thoms (Cold Case, Grindhouse) and Ahmed Best (Jar Jar Binks). Ahmed is directing, he has self-funded the project and thus there is very little money involved but it should be a blast, it's a funny script, sort of a parody on Star Trek.

If you are interested and have any grabs of your work to show, please send to me at nebula@charlespapert.com.

Student needs Help on Action Short
 

Hi my name is Thato and I have finished filming my short film called Prime Justice. It is an action short. I am in need to help with cg blood shots. For example one character gets shot from behind through his shoulder. So i would need blood to fly out and look realistic.

I also have a 3d bullet sequence i need done. Now the thing about that is i can do the Andrew Kramer way but i would rather have a cool custom effect for example we see the bullet load into the chamber right before he fires and then it flies out.

I am a student so i really don't have money to pay, but if your looking for work to add to your reel this will be great for you.

For those who need compensation I offer Graphics work, Royalty Video Footage, Etc. Just let me know.

For those interested Please contact me at TPvideo@gmail.com for more information.

And also i know this sounds like alot of work so if you only have time to do one VFX Shot thats fine by me.
