UK only: 2 crew needed - XL2 operator and sound
 

I'm looking for the following personnel:

1. Experienced XL2 lighting cameraman, with or without an XL2. Must be able to advise me on optimal lighting configuration and best shot set-up for shallow dof!!

2. Experienced location sound engineer with full kit.

The project is a sensibly budgeted 10 minute promo for an educational charity and it is the first time I have used a third party crew. The finished piece is to be distributed in the Times Educational Supplement (aprox 100,000 copies) and is being fronted by a minor celebrity (her husband is the major celebrity, a foul mouthed chef, if that gives you a clue!).

Location:Several locations within the M25 (probably only in London). Mostly interior with some exterior. Daytime only.

Dates: TBC but definitely starting end of February.

Duration: Certainly 3 days, probably 4 days, possibly 5 days. Hopefully back to back but that's tbc.

Other: There will be a significant element of shooting around young children so if you are CRB checked that would be a bonus.

Could any interested parties please respond as soon as possible with an indication of your day rate, location, experience etc. If you have an online showreel that would be great, alternatively it can be sent to me at the address shown on my website www.film-it.net.

Any questions or clarification, please either post here or email me at ian@film-it.net

Thanks,

Ian . . .

Need Second Shooter for Weddings in NY.
 

We are a Texas based company but shoot a lot of wedding out of state. We do a bunch of weddings in NY (Long Island and WestChester area) each year so wanted to see if there were any talented shooters interested in shooting with us.

You will need to have

1) Sony PD170 or similar low light camera.
2) Tripod
3) Video Light with diffuser so not harsh light
4) Monopod

You will need to be dependable, creative and pay attention to details.
Be willing to learn and adapt to new style of shooting.
If you have glidecam experience it will be a plus.

You should have previous wedding or shooting experience and
I will also need to see some sample videos that you have shot.

Please email me if you are interested

Take care,

Driver/Interpreter in Southern Turkey
 

We will be shooting a documentary in Southern Turkey this summer. Anyone on the forum have experience in that region? We're not looking for a shooter but could sure use a tip on a Driver/Guide to shoot around Sanliurfa, Nemrut Dagh and possibly Lake Van.

I've been there
 

I traveled through Turkey for a month about 12 years ago and was in the three places you mention.
My hotel room was raided by plainclothes police who pounded on my door at midnight but they were very courteous despite six men pointing guns at me.
The war against the Kurds was in full swing then, with battle tanks along the roads and armored cars and troops in the streets. There were almost no tourists in the southeast so I suspect the police merely wanted to learn whether I was aiding the rebels.
While much of Istanbul could be mistaken for many large European cities, the East becomes much more religious and Muslim so women are less visible and covered.
A taxi took me to Nemrut Dag late in the day so I could be there as the sun set, but it was a bit difficult climbing back down in the dark.
Sanliurfa is exotic, near the Syrian border, but the city of Van, a few miles from Iran and Iraq, is just a plain but undistinguished city.
It’s a beautiful country full of friendly people, though the southeastern part is much poorer, more conservative and less worldly than the western part.

Needed -Arizona: Shooters, Editors, Composers
 

TLF (or its rather large and currently private new partner) expects a huge growth this year in the demand for our services. We are already booked for a couple Summer months. Investors are currently in talks with us as to needs for a really big launch this year and large budget promotions for 2009. With this foresight in mind, we want to be able to meet the demand head-on. One example - we are filming segments of the Super Bowl Experience this weekend in conjunction with Fox.


If you live in Arizona and want to join the pool of contacts we will likely need, please sign up in this thread (or email me direct) and link a reel or portfolio. We will need shooters, editors, and composers. All gigs will be "for pay".

Need to rent HVX-200.
 

Hey everyone,

I'm going to be shooting a pilot for my web series in the next couple weeks and I'm looking for someone in Los Angeles who'd be willing to let us rent or borrow an HVX-200 for a weekend (Saturday to Sunday night). We're trying to do this on the cheap before going around to pitch the show.

Free is best, but anything below the cost of a rental house would be great.

For those who don't know me, last year I won an MTV Movie Award and recently directed a couple music videos for Epic Records and mtvU. But, we don't have any funds at this time, we're just trying to get materials together for a pitch, and would prefer to shoot HD rather than SD.

I look forward to hearing from you. Please direct emails to:

josh.caldwell@meydenbauerentertainment.com

Thanks,
Josh

Atlanta area sound guys

Stock Footage - Sunset Hawaii?
 

Hi all
Am editing a wedding i shot in Hawaii and yes, i admit, i didn't get any sunset footage *dolt head*..

was wondering if anyone from hawaii or has any HD stock footy of a sunset in hawaii or on somewhere beachy (that a word?)

If you want i'd be able to trade footage with ya or maybe it's a gesture of goodwill :D karma and all that..

1080i .. maybe 10 seconds or so.. lemme know :) I shot the wedding with a FX1

Thanks!
Vish

Which beach did you shoot the wedding? I may have the same beach on file, complete with a sunset.

Sweet
 

Wedding took place @ the sheraton waikiki if that helps :D

I'm not too picky about the beach tho as the clip will be used as a transition between the ceremony and reception .. that'd be awesome tho if you had clips :)

Vish

I am still SD, not HD (GL 2), but as a last resort, I live in Florida & could easily get some sunset footage for you if needed. No palm trees on the beaches here tho, unlike Hawaii. Let me know if you run out of HD alternatives.

Much appreciated!
 

Thanks Bill!, i'm still hoping to get a HD clip but i definitely appreciate your offer!

I have a sunset that I shot in October at the Wiakaloa Marriot on the Big Island. I used a Z1U shot in HDV..Email me for details...

Composer Needed for Film by AWARD-WINNING Student Director
 

Looking for a composer that can score the short film “Modern Ethics”. It's a 5 minute short cheesy action/chase film. You can download a rough cut of the film here (link expire 2/10/08) :
http://senduit.com/98fc38

Composer must be available Feb 4-11, 2008. I want to receive a few sample scores during this week for the film before doing an entire rough score so we are on the same page as far as tone goes. From there a couple rough scores and I will give you feedback until we have a complete score by Monday, February 11. Please e-mail if interested at salil@salsunproductions.com with subject "COMPOSER FEB 08" This is a student production, therefore the only compensation I can offer is credit + a high quality internet download of the movie.

PS: If you include a sample score when you apply I may be more attracted to work with you. (not required) Also having an AIM screen name I could communicate on with you this weekend is a big plus.

Tokyo
 

Hi all. I am short of hands this coming Sunday and really need a PA.

You need 0 experience but 100% interest. If your interested in Documentaries this may be your cup of tea - or shooting anything in general.

FYI shooting on HPX500 (555 here in Japan).

Travel and lunch all paid for. Im sorry I cant offer more at this stage.

PM if interested and I will provide you with more details.

Cheers
Noel

Greg came and got me a beautifully shot clip! Thanks so much Greg! you'll let me know when i can return the favor! :)

...............................................................................

Will do, I'm glad that you liked it..(Shot on Sony Z1u with a .7x wide angle adapter)

Oops!
I forgot I had written to you about stock footage until right now! I had a sunrise at the front of Sheraton Waikiki as well as some generic sunsets, waves lapping on the shore, etc. All shot in HD with a Z1. Looks like you already got the shot you needed, but let me know if you still need more. So sorry for this late post....

Day late and a dollar short, I was just in the keys 2 weeks ago.

Could have gotten it for you then, oh well.

Hey there Bruce,

I have spent many a Christmas visiting my folks in Key West, and a few years back I shot a couple hours of footage around the island testing out my XL1... So yes, footage I do have. Not a lot on Duval Street, but more B-roll, "pretty picture" stuff along the coast and in the streets of old town. I'm reachable at sforza7 (a) "Gee"mail (.) com

Best,
Sean

I'm heading there next week to shoot a doc in the Bafa Lake area, Herakliea specifically. Have you been there? i have no idea what to expect politically or culturally... although thats what makes it fun right?

Bodrum and Kusadasi (nearby) are sizable tourist cities on the coast drawing hordes of visitors in warmer weather, with an anything-goes atmosphere. Just offshore are lots of Greek islands. In the vicinity are many archeological attractions with Ephesus being a world-class site. It should be safe, politically open and accommodating.

Stabilizer and/or Dolly for rent in DFW?
 

Looking for a stabilizer(handheld or body) and/or dolly for rent this weekend in DFW area? Lemme know if you have one you wouldn't mind renting out.

My email is oceanzen at gmail dot com

post a message in the Uni drama dept or look for an acting school and leave a message there - you should get stacks of people interested.

Or you can look up the name of a local agent and give them the details and they'll let their people know.

Just be upfront about the pay or 'no pay', feed them well and make sure they get some footage for their showreel

UPDATED link to rough cut - COMPOSERS still NEEDED!!!
 

Unfortunately our composer fell through a few weeks ago and we are looking for a replacement to score this short film THIS WEEKEND. AIM will communication will be very helpful. (or at worst MSN)
