Las Vegas shooters needed for NAB

looking for an animated character
 

Our group logo is below

I'd love to find a way to animate this but It occurs to me that what will take me a year might be pretty easy for someone who actually knows what they're doing.

Any bored 3D animators out there who might be interested in helping us out?

www.justshorts.info

toonboom allows you to build a 3D avatar and animate it in real time, including lipsync from a microphone.
The product is very expensive and does not include any tools to create the puppet (usually made in 3Dstudio), but some companies offers this as service, so the cost could be affordable.
This is mainly a realtime presentation product for events, but all the screen can be recorded, so you can use it at will to do a quick and dirty animation on the fly, with no knowledge about 3D. you just use the program as a puppet.
you can even dowload a free demo with some prededigned characters (the dino is really great !)

Okay, I've extended the deadline. PLEASE, ANYONE TONIGHT THAT CAN DO A VOICE OVER CONTACT ME ASAP!!!! (wed, march 26)
salil@salsunproductions.com

I'm doing a VO recording session tonight (3-27) and may be able to piggyback this project onto it. Might that work?

I'd suggest something Pythonesque, 3D/CG would be a stretch for that logo. What would you like to see it "do"? Jumping jacks? The old soft-shoe?

sorry it is not toonboom , but toonMx i was refering to.

Hi Peter,

Still looking for someone in Holland? I am based in Amsterdam and shoot with the Z1. Send me a pm if you're interested.

Looking for someone with JVC HD100/200 or BR50 in Philadelphia
 

We recently shot a project in HDV format and are unable to capture it through our camera. We are looking for someone with a JVC HD100/200 series camera or a BR50 deck to rent so we can capture. Or, if you have either of these 2 items and Adobe Premiere Pro, we would be willing to pay for you to capture. Please let me know what you would ask for compensation.

you should contact Ben Lynn - he's been a part of this forum for a long time. He currently has one - he's near me in Illinois, but I bet he'd help you out. He's shooting the Final Four right now, but I think he has some time off in a week or two.

Next time, give me a bit more warning!

Intrigued, but not terminally so, as to why you don't just take a mob from Mumbai?

Looking to rent HD100 (etc) in Vegas fast
 

Howdy, I'm in Vegas and I was hoping someone here could rent me an HD100 (or 110/200/250) and a jib if possible for April 8th? anyone?

If this is the wrong place for this sorry - feel free to nuke, move or let me know - thanks :)

---please disregard, rental HD100 found :)

This guy is always posting "great experience" paying jobs with like a one day notice.

Hey want to be part of a great no-budget project in India? You pay to go there, and pay for all the food. Also can you be there 5 days ago?

Lol
 

I would LIKE to shoot in May. Locations are done, equipment is ready. I have a few short-listed people who want to be part of the crew. But I'm having trouble finding a reliable DP - someone who believes in the project and be crazy enough to make it work. Actually I'm willing to push back production by a few weeks just for the core crew. The ad is an old one I posted in Mandy a few weeks ago...sorry didn't notice that we are already well into prep!

About the heat: I guess working with silks is the way to go! Right now I'm looking for actors, and am traveling to Mumbai to look for that mob!

Forgiveness
 

Sorry about the dates...I'm willing to push dates around to get the perfect crew. It was copied and pasted from an ad I'd pasted in mandy a few weeks ago.

BTW, I'll pay for the food! :)

Looking for Work In New York
 

I'm getting into professional camera work for the first time. I am half way through college and need a means to pay for the rest of undergrad/grad school. I figured I would be better served investing in a camera (based upon my current skills/training/education) than working as a retail whore for 7 dollars an hour... Thus my current predicament.

My age isn't necessarily indicative of my work experience as my resume consists of having worked on numerous short films for sva/nyu/columbia grad/purchase college/numerous boston art schools. I'm an award winning director, have vast experience with NL editing (multi platforms), have been a cinematographer on multiple occasions, and have worked on film/dv/hdv/p2, and soon SxS.

I soon will be getting my spanking shiny new ex1 in the mail, and as such I will need work just to pay back a majority of the loan I am taking out to purchase it.

I am willing to help out on corporate jobs, weddings, shorts, full lengths, etc. I have a vast wealth of knowledge on almost every topic imaginable, and could be a help to anyone willing to work with a fast learner. My obvious weakness is my inexperience working in most specific fields of videography, however my obvious strengths are my dedication and hard work, in addition to numerous others that would become quite apparent after even a half hour of working with me.

I am willing to work while training free of charge, as long as after training there would be obvious economic incentive to said work.

I would love to be able to do work for free, however schools don't accept demo reals as currency, and neither does BH's "bill me later" financing program.

I am willing to travel anywhere in the New York tri-state area, and even as far as most of upstate new york.


Hope I can be helpful to someone,
Alex.

Please be aware of the forum layout -- moved from Sony EX1 to Helping Hands.

DFW Lighting Help for Corporate Video
 

Could use some help lighting an upcoming shoot in the DFW area. Two days during the week of April 28. Looking for someone who can help add depth and interest to a variety of shots in a corporate workplace.

Hey Alex,

It'll be a little different but you might try looking at temp agencies (if you haven't already), especially in the NY area you might be picked up for a PA job on a set there or you can check out the job board on your college (if you are at a film school) I know production companies sometimes try to fill their low positions that way. Try to be very careful on Craigs List or Mandy.com both don't have the greatest reputations for reliability or integrity, very few legitimate production companies advertise that way but you never know! You'll find that the film industry is quite different than video but I'm sure with a little ambition and hard work you'll find that the knowledge is very useful.

You could also get a job at B&H!

Best wishes,

To whomever moved this thread -- thank you -- I assumed this much would be done.

In regard to school - no I'm not at a film school - I'm currently at community college and am going to be going to suny purchase (most likely) as a Journalism/Media double major. I decided that undergradute film school would narrow down my possibilities in the real world too much, as well I figured it wouldn't give me quite the real world connections I would make at a graduate program. Thus I am trying to save as much money as possible while still making a life for myself doing what I love.

The idea mentioned above in regard to being a PA, I will too check out, however that will not sufficiently sustain my financial neccecities. 2 more years of undergraduate at state school = 20k, 2 years of graduate work at either USC or NYU (the only places in the States that will give you the sort of real connections you will need to be succesful) will run an extra 80k.

Therefore I would need to in a sense transform myself from merely a student, into a working-professional. I was not as fortuate as some other kids my age where I could get into a college and not worry about a thing (in fact I got accepted to NYU Liberal Arts program, but couldn't go due to finances). Therefore I will need to work my ass of in order to insure a better future for myself. This I'm not opposed to, however my current problem is the transition. I need to be able to take that "next step", because otherwise school would be unattainable. It is not impossible as there are numerous working professionals in the videography/film industry my age who are less talented/intelligent/experienced than myself, however I reach a snag due to the fact I currently am enrolled at a community college.

Still hoping someone could use a talented cameraman with an ex1,
Alex.

PS - In regard to coorporate gigs, I have a lot of experience in terms of marketing. Therefore would be able to contribute significantly in terms of the creative aspect to the production.
