Photography assistant / property manager wanted
 

Heh this is great. The only thing missing is "dog walker".

http://vancouver.craigslist.org/tfr/150633759.html

Is it even physically possible for one person to do all that? The photography thing alone would probably obliterate all your time, wouldn't it?

Here ya go. I've worked for this person/company in the past, too:

The Independent Movie Show is seeking a female and a male field reporter to do on-camera interviews with local and national film industry icons and up-and-coming filmmakers for its television program. Pay is very low, but this will be great for your resume and demo reel. You must be available for one full shoot day every other month and commit to a one year term. First shoot is June 10-11, 2006 with a rehearsal day in Mid-May. Seeking male and female, any ethnicity, 25-40, polished, knows the industry lingo, prior on-camera experience and good communication skills a must. Headshots, demo tale-VHS, DVD or mini-DV and resumes must be mailed NOT EMAILED to:The Independent Movie Show, Dominion Films, P.O. Box 22582, Houston, TX 77227

And another--apparently these guys are looking for a cameraman from the future:

Need XL-3 Shooter for 2 TV pilots shooting in/around Manhattan this weekend. We're in a bind, as our regular guy's leaving the country & our schedule got pushed back.

Thanks!

* this is in or around NYC
* no -- it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
* Compensation: $250/day

What's an XL3?

I don't know. . .ask the time travelers who posted the ad.

I like to imagine this as read by a clunky robot from the 50s. Maybe the giant robot rabbit from Aqua Teen Hunger force:

All I have to ask is....how? Are they going to give you a piece of the publishing? That would be the stupidest thing (for them) ever lol.

I don't know. I just found the "written by a seven-year-old" vibe amusing, as well as the shouting.

OK, that one is about the most ridiculous one in awhile. 'we need you for 2 months, and your equipment too at no fee'. Maybe it was written by drunken lemurs?

I'll give you drunken, but I still say it was drunken robot rabbits prone to saying "Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday" (and then repeat ad infinitum).

Posted in the Vancouver craigslist. Maybe by one of us?

Keith- There are a whole bunch of postings along those lines on Craigslist down here too. I figured it was Josh...

Hah! You are totally wrong. I've never written back to a post like that. One of you has definitely done that, in my opinion 'cause I found your (his/her) post on here to be the exact same thing posted in response to the ad on the NYC craigslist ad.

Keith? You got some 'splaining to do?

A rich kid is wanting me to develop his DV film idea, willing to pump money into a totally dead project. Wont accept the fact that I tell him I'm not a good director and I've had no experience in feature production. Sends me a script where the first shot is loaded with effects, the dialogue is dead, the characters suck, spelling mistakes everywhere, not even formatted properly. I ask him to at least format the script and the reply I get is "Too oldschool".

Can't take a hint.
