Ok, here's the meet:

5 PM at

There is a musician named Phillip Roebuck playing there (no cover charge). He's a pretty amazing performer out of NYC, originally from Norfolk, VA. Check out a short video of him at:

http://www.philliproebuck.com/video.html

He's built a pretty amazing setup, and both he and it are very "cameragenic." It makes for great footage.

What I'm proposing is that we all meet up and film him being interviewed and showing his setup, and film a song or two. Then I'll capture all the tapes and cut it all up to make a short documentary, slash, music video, unless someone else wants to (and I know there are lots of you who are better at it than I). Everyone who participates will get credit, and anyone can have and share the video.

If I have to pay everyone the cost of their tapes I will, and if anyone wants the tape back or wants a DVD with their footage on it I'll be happy to accomodate. Plus after his set (fairly short) we can hang out and talk and do the whole users group thing.

Obviously it would be nice if we could decide what settings those of us with DVX's would use, and comparable settings for those of us with other cameras too, so if you have any input, please pipe up ASAP. If your camera can do it, 24P is a must, but you don't have to have a 24P camera to participate.

And if you have a shallow DOF 35mm adapter, bring it! I'm bringing mine and my lenses but I don't know that I'll use it for sure.

Enough talk, let's get together - AND let's shoot some tape!

I'm there man. I'll be bringing my HVX200! See you then!

Thanks for the invitation but I won't be able to make it :(
Always open to invites though!

Hey, I am in need of some one in MYC to possibly shoot some stock footage with their JVC HD-100U. I am doing a non-funded project, and as such don't have the money to fly to New York to grab just a couple of shots. I actually also need some help with the legality of these, as I need a few shots from Grand Central Station, not much just something to throw in to show that my hero started out in New York on the train. Any suggestions or takers?

I have an opening for a shooter / editor from May 18th - Aug 13th. This is a traveling position and you will work 7 days a week. You will be with a touring group who is in a different city each day. All food and travel is provided. Your job will be to create a 3-5min "behind the scenes" video each day so the organization can put it up on their website. You will need to shoot and edit this video. Once you are done working for the day, you are done. This job requires a creative and self motivated person. The group you will be touring with is a drum and bugle corps (like a marching band) who is made up of 135 kids that are 21 and under. These kids will sleep at high schools on the floor. You will be traveling with the support staff, who will will also be sleeping on the floor. This is very hard on your body and will require a young person. We can provide equipment which will be a computer and camera, or you can use your own. Pay is $3500 without equipment, or $4000 with equipment. We will provide all tape stock. If you are using your own equipment, you will need a 3ccd camera, computer with editing software (preferably a laptop) and a shotgun mic. We will be checking in with you through out the summer.

If this sounds like something that you are interested in, please email me the following:

All 3 of my kids marched corps years ago-it's an awesome adventure and some of the best musicians anywhere play. If I were 25 years younger I'd do the gig. Its a summer of fun!

I'm shooting a Sag Short in the month of April and need a make-up and hair person. Since our company "Blue Butterfly Productions" is independant, we can only offer "credit, meal and copy". But because it is a Sag Contract, payment maybe deferred. Depending if the project gets sold. This short film is targeted for the SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL and would be great exposure for those involved. For more information, please contact me at enderlee@enderlee.com

Call the Joe Blasco school on Hillhurst Ave. in LA; they can post your project to their graduate students and you will have a plethora of talented people calling you in no time. They are eager to get experience for their portfolios and will usually work for free or a small kit fee.

Positions filled.

Thanks

thank you so much Charles

Hello, we are looking for someone with some time to record a voice over. We are trying to get funding for this documentary, and what we can offer at this point is; future involvement including pay if the documentary gets appropriate amount of funding. We already have a company sponsoring, and we are waiting on a few more. Few details about the documentary: traveling, himalayas, cultural,rustic.
The voice is for a small demo we are putting together before we approach additional companies for sponsorship.

Please send some sample work to:

I've been receiving valuable information from this forum for
over 6 months and this is my first thread. We're getting everything together for a short feature in the Dallas area.
I'm looking for another XL2 operator to assist the director while he's busy with other matters. We've tried the local universities but no response yet. Does anybody know someone or a website that might help? Mandy wasn't to helpful either.

Moved to Helping Hands, and added "Dallas" to the thread title. You might mention what the compensation is.

what is considered a short feature ?? vs. a short ? or feature ?

I have been trying to reply to Arnold English. I have a canon XL2 and can help you with the poject you are working on. Please contact me at

Hi

I have atleast in my mind a original film idea about the body and it's diffrent movements. (Not as arty as it sounds) I'm from Sweden and I'm looking for an American/Brittish/Canadian producer that could help me with my project.

Anyone have any clues to where I might start looking for someone that could find my project interesting?

If you are a producer and just happens to read this and want to know more please contact me and I'll submit full details about the project.

Kind regards,
Andreas

Sounds fun... I got a DVX.

Next one is 9:30 PM, 4212 Sunset Blvd. @ Myra. I'll be there!

Hey all.

Need a sound recordist for a low/no budget 3 day short shoot shooting with the JVC HD100 camera. This is a 13 page action/drama shooting at the end of May

If interested, please send email to carcaridon@cox.net.

Thanks.

Where: Toronto
When: March 24, 25, 26, 27, 2006
Who: Writer/Director - Jonathan Robbins
DP: Tim Dashwood

Project Info: http://www.mojoprofilms.com/exlover.html

Crew positions still available: 2nd Camera assistant (Clapper/loader)
Camera Assistant for B Camera/DTE capture tech (iMac)
Swing Grips
P.A.s
EPK camera operator (DVX100a)
Behind the Scenes Photographer (Nikon D70 & Pentax iST)



I'm shooting a short film next weekend with at least 2 JVC HD100 cameras (for the big shootout) and possibly a Canon XLH1 for good measure.
The film has a brilliant script... one of the best I've read in a long time. It kind of reminds me of True Romance, with a hint of Pulp Fiction.

I've have filled most of the key positions already with friends who are pros in their field, but we're still looking for some helping hands. If you have experience in specific areas that's great, and if not, maybe you'll learn some new tricks from professionals willing to share them.

If you are only available on one or two of our shoot days, that's fine too. We will have quite a few locations with different needs on different days.

This is a very low budget production, so we are seeking volunteer crew members. However, you will be fed and most locations are very close to TTC stations.

Please email me if you are interested. dvinfo@timdashwood.com

thanks,
Tim

If you have a day or two to spend with our crew, I could use your DV camera talents. Below, I will be glad to tell you a bit about the project. First, I will need some background from you so I can better figure out how best you can help this film project. If you have filmmaking experiences let me know, then I can link you with others on location in Scotland. The next step will be to formulate a plan to proceed at the location filming. I have a script as far as media needed, and interview questions for the specific locations. One collaborator, has DOP film experience, and is presently researching the Aberdeen site. Here is my release; A call for collaboration. I'll look for your reply.
I have an ongoing search to assemble two location DV film crews in Scotland. I have these filming needs to complete a historacle documentary about the Camphill Communities origins. The locations are in Aberdeen at the Newton Dee Camphill and the Blair Drummond Camphill near Stirling. Camphill was begun by Karl Koenig in 1939, along with a small group of refuges escaping the Nazis. The Camphill's were developed as a curative environment for the mentally handicapped that was inclusive, and explored very progressive methods of education and community living. I became interested, here in the States, after visiting the Kimberton Hills community located in Pennsylvania, U.S.A. In 2002, I made a personal visit and filming began then of the Camphill bakery and other programs. That footage, as well as a recient photography session, just completed, have completed the U.S. media necessary for this film. The script for the film developed from that point, and that required the need for the Scottish Camphill history in film. The budget does not exist to pay for my travel to Scotland. So I began using the WWW to locate film collaboration. I have a film collaborator from Cumbernauld, her name is Vicky Bodane. She says she is 20 min. between Glasgow and Stirling. Does her name ring a bell? Vicky has offered to help with narration and a possible musicians interview at FM Clyde 1 in Glasgow. Two Scottish musicians have also given me a positive interest in song offerings and I'm trying to book them on the "Live Sessions" for an acoustic set. I'd like to make available some promotion for them, for their help in the film. Perhaps you have heard of them? Kate Cassidy (I believe she is from Glasgow) and David Leonard of Spokers Loan. Kate is well known throughout Scotland, and Europe. She has such a beautiful voice, mostly used in rock venue. I've asked her for some lighter acoustic numbers to be considered for the opening film scenes in Aberdeen. David has done the folk scene there in Scotland. I will be using his number called; " We've got everything we need" from his album. I'm also looking for a crew to film their casual musical duet jamming, and a film shoot at that radio station "sessions" venue if it jells. Get back soon, I'd like to firm up the location crews to begin as weather warms up.
Adios for now,
Christo Aaron
HeyokaFilms@aol.com

Hello Spike,
I'm working with two wonderful people in Scotland at the present. Tell me more about what you are looking for as far as languages etc.
Adios,
Christo

Are you looking for a male or female voice? (or both?)

Sorry Nate,

I didn't realize you had cross posted over here until I had moved and left a redirect in the HD100 forum. I figured you would get more views that way, but you were already one step ahead of me.

The redirect is still in the HD100 forum.

Tim

Hello Quinn,
Have DV will travel? I have two locations that are eager to find a second DV camera person. This is a non profit documentary to be released in the States. If you would work for credit in film and copy of DVD, we could use your help. See my other posts, (collaborator call), for more on film info.
Adios,
Christo

Hello Gary,
Would you shoot about five miutes of DV in a Vancouver night club? Preformer has composition in film, I need live film of him preforming, to sync to film footage.
Cheers,
Christo

hello, we are looking for either a male or female voice. Anything that sounds natural and emits a true documentary style tone. Please send any working sample to the given email and we will respond. Thank you very much for your time.

Hi Tim

Email has been sent

Pete Mander

I am posting this again in the hope that there might be some new members since I last did. I am looking for a general production partner. Someone interested in narrative film, short form or long, for festivals.

Particularly someone who is aware of the constraints of micro budget movie making. Too many people I talk to want to make the next matrix and think they can do it with their HandyCam.

Actually, anyone at all who is interested in film in the city, let me know. I'd like to start a project soon, and I can't do casting alone. I'd just look creepy.

DJ

Hi DJ,

If you'd like to drop me an email, I do low, low-budget film-making here Portland. I also used to work at a local casting company. I can't guarantee we'll be a good match but check some of my links, see what I do and drop me a line.

Joe

Hey,

I'm looking for someone who would be interested in helping out for a few days at the end of this week (1 evening, 2 days, 1 morning). I'm shooting an event and looking to have a couple people ready to go. I have a Sony Z1U and am looking for someone with same or similar who is looking add some footage to their reel. Clearance for the event is up in the air so the project is as well... I'm hoping to hear tomorrow.

Credit/meals for anyone who wishes to help out. I'll supply tape stock.

DJ, I know the realm of micro-budget video very well. With some of my donated services to non-profit groups, I've had complaints about the cost of the blank tapes I've used. But, I'm in Eugene and don't travel much. I use a VX2100 and a TRV730 and will get a mini-HDV camcorder in the next few months. I've worked several times with another videomaker on musical and cultural events, but I've specialized more with athletics and wildlife. Also, I've done several airshows. Let me know if you're ever doing anything around Eugene and need a bit of help with another camera. I'm far better at shooting, than I am with advanced editing work. Good luck to you in Portland. My Dad was raised there and I have many relatives in the area. One bunch of cousins runs an electronics store out towards Beaverton.

JSM:

I went to California Capital Air Show this weekend and shot tpes in HDV. First time I'Ve tried anything like that. First tape was pretty bad. One thing i might try next time is getting back aways instead of thinking I have to be right up on it. Any hints ?

Hey Jonathan,

I'm in Boone as well (well from Cary), but up here in Appalachian for the Fall Semester.

How goes :)

Chris, you don't need a telextender or even a long lens for most airshows, as those birds are pretty big. It's always best to get back away from the showline and the crowds. Ideally, find a place on higher ground. If you get there early, think about how many spectators are likely to crowd you out in your chosen position, after the show starts. I use two highly-directional shotgun mikes on a 16-inch wide stereo rack and that cuts out a lot of the crowd and loudspeaker noise and focuses the sound pickup on the planes in my lens. I use my full shoulder-mount/steadying rig to smooth out my wide range of panning and tilting. When a plane is going to pass by, I position my feet to point towards the middle position, so I can swivel my body for the full shot, without having to lift and turn them. The same principle applies to shooting races at track meets. I can't imagine anyone doing full coverage of an airshow with a tripod, but I guess some people try. I think that a good shoulder-mount would be most useful with an HD-cam, as every wobble shows up more (or so it seems). Even though an HC3 would weigh only 1.25 lbs., if I used one for something like an airshow, I'd have about 11 lbs. total on the whole rig. When I used this type of counter-balanced shoulder-mount with my 17-lb. Beta, the whole thing weighed 24 lbs. When I took it on a 12-mile wildlife hike, I changed hands every 200 yards and considered it my main exercise for the day. I'll tell you though, that big, manual-focused camera was no good for getting long, unbroken airshow shots. Every shot had heavy editing needed at both ends. I like to have continuous coverage of full action-sequences with things like this and with athletic events, so my cameras that have good and steady autofocus, were what I mostly have used. However, manual audio-uptake is best, if you have it. I did one airshow where they had simulated bombs and they shut down my audio for about 2 seconds, when it was on auto. My Sony camcorders have been much better on auto audio, than my Canon models, as they don't over-react to sharp noises. My very best airshow sequence of all, was shooting Lefty Gardner, when he did a full aerobatic performance in his beautiful P-38, called "White Lightning". When those turbo-charged engines howled past, my stereo mike set-up got some great sounds. I often put that on my surround-sound and crank up the level. Several friends have worn out videotapes of that Confederate Airforce show I gave them, doing the same thing repeatedly over several years.

I'm in Greesboro and I'm always looking to get in on some creative projects. Let me know. Have gear will travel. ;-)

We are currently finishing the screenplay for our first horror/thriller. We will be in actual production sometime in May. I need a couple willing folks to help with production one night a week and/or one weekend night. I'll be posting more info. as it comes in. Positions would be like grip/gaffer, make-up, etc. This would be volunteer work as our budget is that of a 60year old on SS. BUT i will supply snacks and drinks.

If anyone is based in Israel and is intrested in shooting or photographing a wedding at the end of the summer please contact me. I am looking fro 24p, widescreen and or hd if possible on the video end and full frame digital or medium format film on the photo end but if you are around that area and intrested e-mail me despite the equipment you own.
egproductions@optonline.net
thanx

Same thing, although I'm busy as heck until sometime next month I've got a fair bit of equipment too.

Hello,

I have emassed enough work to finally put together a demo reel and am looking for some input on what sort of things i should include. I have a good cross section of material and can make it as long a needed. Optomally I want to make something that will be viewable onlne and showcases by talents in editting and video post.....I would love to hear any suggestions y'all might have.

I apologize for my slow response.Admin corrected a problem I had with logging in. My "rep" says the SAG process should be complete in 4-6 weeks, so estimate shooting in mid-May. The SAG agreement states anything less than 35 minutes is a "short." We have (4) day shoots, none over (5) hours. We're willing to pay $100 a shoot. We'll need your assistance in finding location shots and your presence at the casting call, so add another $100 dollars.
If interested, please state here. All we ask is that you KNOW what you're doing with the XL2.
