Please send me an email, along with your contact info, if this is something you would like to discuss further. Talk soon, Producer" 30 days of work on a 100% deferment? Is this guy out of his mind or what? |

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to: gigs-164248400@craigslist.org Date: 2006-05-24, 2:25PM EDT Currently looking for Art PAs to work on feature film with name actors.

Please keep in mind that if you are willing to volunteer your time you gaurenteed to work on this film. NO ATTACHEMENTS!! PLEASE NOTE IF YOU ARE WILLING TO WORK FOR NO PAY. So....send me your rates. But if I find some schmuck straight outta film school to do it for nothing....you get nothing. Thoughts, anyone? |

It was his first and only post. He must of thought this was Craigs List...
|
That's a troller if I ever seen one! That was his first post and I bet his last. You know it's bad when Craig's List isn't producing enough suckers anymore. I wonder if the Chicago crew is doing it for free too? I bet not!

I thought Chris was gonna delete postings like that, from newbies?
Anyway, here's one that's no only ridiculous, but will lead to some very awkward and uncomfortable experiences. Have fun. On the search for videographers & photographers for homeless doc -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to: gigs-164399224@craigslist.org Date: 2006-05-24, 8:55PM CDT 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. this is in or around Hpuston no -- it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests Compensation: camera operator, photographer and research assistant credits and a copy of the completed DVD |

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.

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." |

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... |
