My guess is that you will also chronicle your adventure to-camera frequently. There is a good little story in that depending on how far you want to take it.

Some film sets are closed to crew cameras. Take care to enquire beforehand if you want some happy snaps and of course do not let this activity cause fault to your work.

Good luck on your journey and enjoy.

It probably would not hurt to blog your adventure on this site every week or so. Be mindful to check with any ADs on a project that it is okay to do so and to draw the line on what information is allowed to go out. Some may be happy for all the free publicity they can get, others may want to stay quiet until a time of their choosing.

(Young people these days - all the upfront confidence in the world or putting up a good front. Regardless, the world is not doomed for lack of motivation in the current generation).

Thanks for the recommendations.

I'll be documenting lots of the trip, and I will be mindful to not let this interfere with any of my work.

My Wants & Needs:

2-3 minute type web and TV type Infomercial

Before and After Demos- maybe 10-15 seconds long and can probably be pulled from the infomercial.

News Real Footage that can be sent directly to new networks.

* Most of the shooting will be conducted at my Doraville offices. (We built a set) however their will be some off-site shooting for the quick home invasion sceen, additionaly I require some exterior shots of homes, doorways, driveways etc. All ready have the locations lined up. I expect the shoot to take less then two days..but then again-I don’t know that for certain.

I require assiatnce with everything from shooting, scripting, editing to setting up lighting etc, so you be well rounded. Should you have some equipment to offer for the shoot-that would be ideal. I ask that everyone give me a rough idea of what they expect financially per day. I realize the editing cost will be additional. Remember you will assist with everything from carry equipment to offering advice as to the best way to shoot a scene to maximize the quality of the overall production.

My style of shooting (I am not a expert) is lets have fun, think out of the box and get those creative juices flowing.

If things go well-I will have plenty of future shoots for the right individual.

I am more then happy to speak with you regarding my post(s). I can be reached at 888-380-9350 or Jordan@globalsecurityexperts.com

Thank you all for your consideration.

Jordan

PS. Please remember to review the website video links from my last posting.

I'm putting together a project and it looks like I will need a Paris based videographer for a few days in June 8-15. Details to be confirmed ASAP.

I have never had to deal with over seas videographers before so I'm wondering if anyone on here knows of a good resource or website to reach out to if no one is available on here?

It would be ideal to have an American with a NTSC camera already there so as to not have to deal with PAL/NTSC headaches as this footage will be added to some already existing NTSC footage for the final project.

Any help in the right direction is very much appreciated!

YAFI is looking for writers. The way we work is everyone who works on a project has an equal share in its outcome. We are a Filmmaking co-op attempting to build recognition. We currently have time, equipment and drive... but no scripts in the pipeline.

Shoot me an e-mail @ mailto:knightscape@charter.net to discuss or submit. There are no guarantees we will make your script, every project will be considered both on its merits and on how it espouses the YAFI aesthetic. We've been moving away from profanity, blood and guns, but won't rule anything out based on that.

Thank you for your time.

Hi Kellen,

I'm a dual national (Dutch/American) based in Amsterdam and wouldn't mind driving out to Paris and stay there a few days, if it's worth it! I own a Z1 and an EX1. The Z1 shoots NTSC ánd PAL, as I'm sure you're aware of.

my website: Imagine Video Productions (http://www.imaginevideo.nl) and one for a current project: www.iaminnocent.org

Hope to hear from you soon. Take care,

Jeroen Wolf

We need an FCP editor to start immediately to cut two 3-5 minute demos for cable networks. Editor should have a system that can handle Sony EX-3 footage on SDHC cards for one of the demos. The other one is also on SDHC cards but shouldn't be an issues as this was shot with the new JVC that does native FCP files.

Please e-mail Tip McPartland at tipsd9video@msn.com and/or call 310 914-0145, keep calling until you reach me.

Thanks!

If you don't get any offers, try a local camera store, there might be someone there that would be willing to do it for you. If that fails, I wouldn't mind doing it. I am in Michigan though, so you would have to send the tapes to me. Keep in mind that due to the likely large size of the files, I'd either have to put them up on an FTP (if you don't have a fast connection, expect them to take a long time to download) or put them on a single/dual layer dvd. As far as price, shipping would likely suffice (possibly the cost of a pack of dual layer dvds if the individual files wouldn't fit on a single layer dvd).

I am currently doing a string out of one of the two demos on my own Avid MC system and if you know Avid too you can finish that on my Avid, then we just need your FCP for the second demo which is native FCP from a new JVC SDHC camera.

Hey, in this economy doesn't somebody want to make some money?

Wow. $10 per article. I'm going to spend 4hrs writing a review for $10! Sign me up.

(Sorry, I'm a bit edgy today after some pushy prospective clients tried a similar pitch with a "you work for basically free + exposure + some odd percentage that we secretely determine").

really, $10..? Why even mention it. It's insulting. What kind of writing do you expect for that?
Too many companies are trying to acquire content for nothing, don't be another one. Hire writers if you need content, if you can't afford them then you can't afford content.

Good evening everyone,

We are looking for a composer to score our short film BLUE JACKET BLACK BAG. It is a crime/comedy genre and has a run time of about 10 minutes out of which about 4 or 5 minutes are needed to be scored.

We are a crew from Melbourne, Australia and have had a number of our films screened in festivals locally as well as overseas as well as on American PBS Television.

We would love to work with a composer who would be keen to develop a good working relationship.

We've been using Ennio Morricone's Once Upon A Time In The West as a temp score so that's the kind of direction we would ideally love our music to head though of course we would be very open to other ideas.

A cut of the film is available for immediate start as we are targeting a number of festival deadlines in the near future. For more info please contact Alex at amazinglex@gmail.com

All the best.

Hi Guys,

I'm in need of a videographer to help out with a few shoots this fall.I'd basically be paying you to just shoot and hand over the footage for us to edit.I have a good bit of equipment available for use when shooting for us(steadicam pilot,5d markII.glide track,Wireless audio,back up audio,/canon A1,And about to buy an hv30 for second cam).I own a photography studio that also shoots video.I'm actually thinking of phasing out the video this year,but if things work out I can promise a couple video shoots a month for next season.I have one date in August fr video and then 6 more this fall.Please let me know if you're interested.I have a friend that was willing to help out but he has a lot on his plate as it is and I'd hate to make things crazier for him.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

Before I scour the depths of craigslist I prefer to meet fellow passionate artist on this site.

Currently I have a 2 page short that I want to shoot. I have another idea for a 8 min short I want to film next.

My work includes Directing & Producing a 17 min short in LA (cast of 5, crew of 15) and in San Francisco I'm a camera man for the local IATSE chapter.

Basically want to meet those that want to gain experience producing, cinematography, audio. I have most of the gear: EX1, wireless, etc... and in return for your help I'd be happy to help on your ideas and bring them to life!

Cheers
