Good luck guys,

Outstanding! Where would we be able to view some of your work? Are alot of people in your line of work using Panasonic as well?

Still looking?

(email on the way)

Chase,

Thank you so much for your "outstanding" encouragement.

I am in the process of trying to get my multiple reel samples consolitated onto a web site. BTW: is having a link to an on-line reel the acceptible way to go now? Seems much simpler and cheaper than mailing out DVDs or videotape reels.

Thanks for your advice.

Its fairly common these days--I get most of my work via my Internet reel.

Hello, I'm with a stock footage company that is trying to expand our archive greatly before an advertising blitz at the end of the summer. If you have pre-existing footage on hand that you would be willing to sell to us, or if you have a 3-chip camera and are willing to shoot for us, please contact me for more information: joelholland@footagefirm.com

What we are looking for is primarily footage of cities, countries and well known landmarks around the world. To see which cities we already have, check our site: http://www.footagefirm.com

To get an idea of our style of videography, download a few free clips from our site: http://www.footagefirm.com/footage/freeclips/index.htm

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Joel Holland

Hi Joel,

Interesting web-site. I have (2) Sony Z1U's and live in New York. As you might know, Sony Z1U's are versatile and can shoot, HDV, DVcam in NTSC and PAL. I have quite a lot of footage of the City and I am also available to shoot any custom footage you might require.

Please feel free to Email me if you need anything or have questions,

Regards,
Garius Hill
garius@musecycle.com

Joel,
you can add Vancouver, Whistler, Deep Cove, Horseshoe Bay, Capilano suspension bridge to the list.

Joel,
Also please add Miami, Florida. I have a Canon GL2 and I am used to working with Art Directors, and Film Directors.
Yours,
Tom Elliott

I would be happy to provide more Vegas footage. If you need any in the future please feel free to contact me.

If you want corn fields and cows and grizzled old farmers bailing hay, I'm your man! LOL.

Hello

I've had a couple cancellations with our videographers and I'm wondering if anybody on here is in the Ontario area with full equipment, both video and a wireless mic, and available August 13th of next month?

Let me know if you may be interested.

I have (10) 30 min beta SP tapes I need to transfer to a PC via component, then out to a RAID via firewire. I'm in Portland, OR.

Does anyone have a setup they wouldn't mind renting time on ?

Thanks!

great idea. Don't hesitate to contact me.

As indicated in his profile, Joel is a 'new boot', and this thread is his only posting. It might be safe to assume, kind folks, that your responses in this thread are not being read by Joel, as he is probably not frequenting this forum other than dropping in to start the ball rolling - as he did. Rather than post responses in hope for negotiating with his company, I would recommend responding directly to Joel via the email address he included in his post. It seems to be what his intention was.
-Jon

I did just that and have yet to hear from him.
Yours,
Tom

As did I, but it may be awhile...or not at all, depending on the needs of the company. I think a good stock company likes to hedge their bets for potential expansion. A cursory review of their site indicates that they are pretty well stocked, but might want some additional styles or locations that other sites are not offering.

When emailing Joel (or any other stock company) be sure to indicate what you shoot with, as well as some specifics about your location. Maybe even a little bit about your previous experience (although I think I forgot to do that.) This will help the company decide whether or not you can offer a competitive product that they will be able to package and resell. It is a competitive business, but there is a great need for good stock videography, especially in budget conscious productions, location segues for television series, newsclip backgrounds, specialty productions for cable networks such as the History Channel, etc...

A good stock company is a valuable resource, but their goal is not necessarily to pay you to shoot footage, but rather to pay you appropriately to shoot footage they can sell. Personally, I would love to have a gig like this.
-Jon

Would love to help, but CO is a little out of your way. Have you tried Portland State? Last I remember the Vikings had a good A/V department, otherwise it sounds kind of weird but Omsi my still have some older equipment. Just some thoughts.

Thanks Devin. I hadn't thought of OMSI. That might be worth checking out. I have calls into the local public access stations. PSU's an interesting option...I think the athletic department owns the video suite...not sure. I'll check it out.

Thanks!

So what's the deal everybody?

Is anyone up for a Zombie movie which needs to be DONE by August 31?

First prize is a Panny anamorphic adapter (mine!) and Sony Vegas, Me66/K6, and some other stuff (all yours)...

Hello all!

I have recently completed the Apple Pro Training for Final Cut and I am looking to get my foot in the door and get some real work experience. I am located in Las Vegas, and am happy working from a distance. I am excellent at working without supervision and determined to provide my best work with every project.

I'm eager to take on any and all projects at a negotiable rate of $12hr.

If you are interested in finding out more about my experience, please visit my resume at http://homepage.mac.com/nathan_chaszeyka/Resume1.html.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and I'll look forward to hearing from you.

I'm trying to keep a portfolio together on my website. If I ever make a DVD, I figure I can pretty much copy my webpage setup.

Might be helpful Stephanie if you made your email active here on the forum so folks can contact you. Due to the way the system works, your email won't be available for harvestbots to get hold of.

Just a thought.

you might check with a sales/distributer that handles decklink/aja type cards to see who in the portland area has them - then contact those places to see if they will transfer the beta's or just call up production/editing houses ... also you might contact "downstream" to see what they charge ? or try Vinton studio's or other animation houses ..i'm pretty sure they all have a way to get i/o to beta/digibeta ....

I have been working as a videographer on the side for the past 18 months in the Houston area and am seeking others in the area to exchange ideas, assist in shooting weddings, etc.

email: billrankin@aol.com

Hi Bill and welcome! DVinfo has a number of members in the Houston area...stick around here and you'll meet 'em soon. I'm pretty busy with my day job right now (out of town presently) but hoping to set up a meet-n-greet in a month or two.

Hey,
This gig is filled. Thanks

Tim

I look forward to hearing from you.

Also, did you know there is an organization in Houston called "Houston Professional Videographers Assn"?

I'd be interested in a meet up of Houston area people. I'm doing the freelancing/production thing as a full time job now. I'd love to collaborate and work on some projects.

Please contact me at pmander@cogeco.ca if you are still interested in the shoot dates.

i have lost some emails due to a PC crash since that last post was made here. so if you could get back to me asap for August and september dates.

Thanks

Pete

I just left Houston after 5.5 years... I am in New Orleans now.

I do make it back to Houston frequently though.

I am in New Orleans if you need anything... let me know...


resmedia /at/ gmail.com

Got an answer and he will be contacting me, if and when needed.

I'm a native Houstonian who now resides in San Mateo, CA... so I won't be able to make it into any meetings. I am however, the "West Coast" rep for Nu-Classicfilms and Roadster Productions in Houston. I know from talking to my partner there, that things are still pretty tight for professional companies. Check out "Only In Houston" for local production companies.

Hi I am new to tthe board. My name is Joe Curcuru and I am in St Louis MO.
I would like to get together with anyone who is interested in making some films. I have some projects I am currently writing and I would love to lend a helping hand on any project. Send me an email a just_joe_curu1@yahoo.com.

Sci Fi and Horror are two of my favorite genres. I am up for a zombie movie
and I am currently writing a short that I would like to turn into a film.
My name is Joe and I am here in st louis just send me an email and we can try to but something together. Email is Just_joe_curu1@yahoo.com

We will be shooting a feature film from Sept. 1st - Sept. 25th North of Atlanta. I need a DOP/cameraman as well as someone to record sound. It will be mainly nights and weekends. We do not have much money, so it will probably be a deferred job. I am open to discussing payment though, if you have your own equipment and seem like the person for the job. Larry Holden will be in the film, he was in Batman Begins, Insomnia, and Memento. He is also a filmmaker. e-mail me at robtiffinmovie@gmail.com for more info.

I'm a Houstonian videographer. I live in Spring, shoot on my venerable XL-1, with a flowpod and small jib availalbe if needed (and depending on how important sound is for the event, mixer and assortment of mics and booms). I've done a small number of weddings, music videos, industrial films, and the odd independent (read: worked for free) film.

E-mail me off list and let's talk.

Send an email my way if you want to start putting some ideas together.
Just new to the board and trying to get something going email me at just_joe_curu1@yahoo.com.

Matt,

How did the zombie thing go? Sorry I have not been on the board in a while, I have been pretty busy with school and work. I think I got something about the zombie thing on the wire.
Had to take a day job because like you said there is not much out here in the way of paying gigs. I am with you in that I aim to one day play a role in changing that.
I am studying the business aspect of things because I am beginning to see that there is a reason there are so many names on the credits of feature films and that it takes a budget to pay for those names. You can't expect 500 people to help you for reel credits. Especially the ones with the real talent. They are going to be to busy on stuff they get paid for.

Joe, it's good to see you got one the board, what was the issue you were having?

Is it film or video?

If you need cheap crew members, contact Rob Albertson at the Art Institute (in buckhead), he may have some advanced video students who may be able to help.

You can also check with Steve Paniyoto of On-Line productions (formerly The Off-line edit suite). He has his own video gear and has done work (shooting) on several films that filmed in the Atlanta region.

Finally, if it is a video project, contact the Atlanta Chapter of the Media Communications Association (formerly ITVA). When I lived in Atlanta ITVA was a huge organization of professionals and we used to crank out some really wonderful stuff. Their resource guide is an excellent starting point for camera, crew, and production assistants.

Hope that helps

Cheers
