I just got this auto reply from a crew call: A $10 cover for me to interview!

Dude! You get to NETWORK in a CLUB? SWEET!!!! What a great place! Have fun yelling your interview over the smoke, smells and loud, pounding music.

They forgot to include UP FRONT as a choice of payment. But no, "If you need money up front then the first option is best for you." Now how is getting paid hourly the same as money up front.

"If you choose the 2nd option you will not get paid as much as option one." What!? The second option means you get paid two ways. How is that not as much as the other choices? I guess the reason they only want a college student is so when they get caught, it will look more innocent. This person must have just smoked some crack before posting this.

This is cool because it was obviously posted simply for the purpose of being obnoxious:

Now I GET the business model!!!! Slaps forehead. I get a whole bunch of these kids together, they supply their own gear, I get them work and charge the client and I don't have to pay them!

If they mess up a given job, I give part of the money back to the client, get another freebie kid to do it (doesn't cost me anything) and I still make a profit!

If the kid asks for money at some point, I just replace him with another freebie kid.

Must be thousands of kids like this. Why have them under bid me? I simply "hire" them at their requested wage!

I can crew an entire network like this and call it . . . MTV and make "shaky cam," bad continuity and jump cuts a "style."

We are shooting a short project and need someone - who is responsible - to be in charge of the following tasks:

1. Mark takes and keep log sheet of good shots (we can teach you how to do this)
2. Secure Locations: We need an outdoor restaurant location for one scene.
3. Scheduling: Ensure actors and crew arrive on time. Make sure actors
have wardrobe.
4. Continuity: Take digital camera shots of room and actors in case need to re shoot
5. Assist with editing on Final Cut Pro (optional)
6. Search and obtain reels of composers willing to work for free.
7. Make sure we get roomtone
8. Find someone (or personally monitor) the radio mike levels. If sound too loud or too soft or actors mumble, make sure there is a retake of that line.


Must live in, or near, Manhattan. Send cover letter and resume. Starts immediately.
Shooting weekdays and occasional weekends, not long hours, but you need to be available when we are shooting.

That's it! I'm going into real estate or something! $450 a day for a Sony PDW-F350 WITH Cameraperson! AND he might go CHEAPER for long term projects!

I just received my spankling new PDW-F350 XCCAM HD camcorder, with a beautiful Fujinon FUHSS18X55BR HD lense. I will rent the package for 450 dollars a day with cameraman or 400 dollars a day with assistant. This is as cheap as you are going to find it so make sure you jump on it. This is better quality then HDV and also gives you ability to control your frame speed. Please do not call and ask for cheaper rates unless you have a long term project. Then I might consider it.

Job location is Manhattan, Westchester, New Jersey
Compensation: 450/400 a Day

Does the post before you realize that securing that outdoor restaurant might be a problem with no money?

No sh*t, this was in the Houston craigslist TV/film/radio jobs section.

Are you a good looking lady trying to make money to supplement income or to make end meets. We all use our assets to do what we can. Why not use your beauty?
Whats wrong in a "friendship" with "benefits". Be my intimate friend and I will pay you in order to do so. Compensation will be $75 each session, I cannot pay more because I want it to be a regular thing and not one time thing.

I am a nice guys and I expect you to be a normal person. I see so many students stuggling to make ends meet. I see so many stay at home wives trying to supplement their income. Whats so wrong in having some fun and make money too.

But does she have to bring her own camera?

And will her pay be deferred?

She'll be paid when he makes money.


And if he makes no money, at least it's great experience! Good for her reel. He knows other contacts in the biz, and would be willing to give her a referral.

Josh... dude... that was too much.

The original post or my last reply?

I think the reply was quirky, and clever, with just an underlying subtle hint of filth.

Your reply was hilarious, and on the verge of bringing the big dog down on you... again. The post is like several other pathetic attempts by lonely trolls that have been posted there before. And in his case, a cheap troll.

Oh, it's all harmless fun. It WAS posted in the TV/radio/film section, after all. And the big dog can kid himself, but he knows he wishes he were my dad.

Don't laugh too hard... he might be ;)

I am posting in several cities. This is not a full time job, but you can look at it as a fun pasttime to make a profit. I do not need to have it edited, or put on DVD. You do not have to be a football lover, but it is definately a plus.

Here is what I am looking for. I need a sports videographer. Specifically, I am looking for someone to tape Texas High School football playoffs for me. Minimum requirements are as follows for all candidates.

1) Must have own videocampera (8mm, digital 8, MiniDVD )tripod (if you do not have one, you can get one at Walmart for about 15 to 20$).

2) Must have reliable transportation to and from High School football stadiums in your area. (Prefer ability to travel within a 2 hr radius, all gas is 100% reimbursible)

3) Must have enough battery juice (3 hrs plus) to cover each game.

I buy these tapes from you at $30 per game tape plus reimbursement for game programs and 1 ticket and parking if applicable (most stadiums do not charge for parking) plus postage and handling. You can make up to $90 (in pocket after expenses, etc..)

If this is acceptable to you please leave your phone number and I will contact you in a couple of months when football season starts up, and I will have you shoot a test run video for us and we will go from there. I will give you a little more information and instructions on how these videos are to be shot at that time. If you do not have enough battery juice to cover the entire game on the test run, no worries, we just need to know that you can follow the instructions and shoot the videos as per our requirements.

Regards: Carlos

This is Texas ONLY, if you read this ad anywhere in Texas you might qualify.

Thanks

Carlos

There are several things I am looking for all or in part.

1. I am looking to get video footage shot on a mini DV camera of homeless people in your area and surrounding areas that are sleeping on the street in doorways, alleys and parks. And homeless people wondering the streets during all times of the day and night. The video footage can be up to one hour but no more. Also I will need you to film at the highest resolution you can so do not shoot on LP.

2. I am looking to get four interviews with homeless people where you ask them to tell their story and ask them some questions that you come up with. Remember that we are not trying to influence their answers but to get the facts the best we can. No more that one hour total footage for the interviews.

3. High resolution photo's of homeless people during all times of the day and night. Remember after you get the pictures you need to try and get a release from the person. I will need you to keep a log of the pictures you take and for which people you get releases from. You will need to send these to me on a DVD disk.

If more gigs like that keep popping up, I'm gonna be one of the poor dudes getting interviewed.

"Back in my day, people paid their dag gum workers! With real money!"

You forgot to add "by the way, do you have anything to help me out? i just wanna get a hamburger, and then I'm gonna catch the subway 'cause I got a brother up in Dallas who's got a job at his rubber band factory lined up for me." This funny of course, because there is no subway in Houston.

Thank you very much and see you at AIU

Are they living in fantasy land? Who's gonna interview for this thing? Speaking of which, why interview at all? Why not just accept whoever offers to help, and be grateful?

I like they acknowledge that it's "getting old."

Wow...I mean a DVX is one thing...but focus enchancement drive, P+S teknik...with primes! Jib, lighting, grip... what limited gear does the school have? Paper and clipboards?

I wonder if they ever get any legitimate responses. I'm curious.....whose up for posting an ad like this, just to see if anyone replies?

And one from Thailand
 

Just not in the US, this is from Craigslist Bangkok:

Looking for NATIVE, Local Thai with excellent English ability and acting experience to host a series of short travel videos.
Payment will be per segment, each will require approximately 2 hours to film, and will be compensated 250 baht/segment.
Must be able to memorize English script, be comfortable in front of a camera.
Pay is low (because the budget is low overall), but will be great exposure (international) and great resume experience.
Please email headshot, resume detailing acting experience, schedule availability, and contact information to reply address above.

Possible future opportunities as well.


By the way, 250 baht is about $6.50 US!

I think this is more insulting than just asking to do it for free...
