I should finally find out if I will be up in Arlington for 3 to 6 months, this coming week.
I would love to hook up and do some weekend shooting.
I'll post here if the job finally comes through.

Hi Chris and Joe,

I haven't done much in terms of my lady x episode yet. Just a synopsis and part of a script. If you and your group are interested in collaborating, we can probably work something out. I'm fairly busy right now, got my final semester starting up, and I'm working with another group on a project around campus, as well as doing some part time work with another project. But I'm flexible.

I'll be around. You can e-mail me at johnl@wam.umd.edu.

To Whom It May Concern,

Nash Entertainment in Los Angeles is producing another 8 episodes of the
hugely popular show, Stupid Behavior: Caught on Tape for Fox Network. With
people's fascination and desire to record more and more personal experiences
on videotape, some of the funniest and genuinely most unbelievable moments
have been captured. Stupid Behavior highlights these moments that always
seem to leave the viewer saying, "What were they thinking?"

We are looking for stories/footage that feature stupid behavior. Some of
the things we are looking for include:

"Caught on tape" footage
Stupid criminals
Sports mishaps or bloopers
Ceremonies that go awry
Stupid Human Tricks
Wedding bloopers
Stunts gone bad
Drunken festivities with foolish behavior
Any other moronic gems

We would greatly appreciate your help in making this season of Stupid
Behavior: Caught on Tape a success. Please contact me via phone or email at
your earliest convenience if you have anything that may suit our needs.

Thank you,

Hey, folks!

We're looking for an enthusiastic and experienced DOP and Camera person!

We've just finished a music video and short film, both shot on Hi-definition video, so, experience with Hi-Def video, as well as 16 and 35 (and DV) is a GREAT plus.

Please contact me immediately!

Samples of your work (or demo reel) is a must!

Have fun with the inky fingers joe.

I dropped john an email about our lil group -- and that we mostly do fight choreography. One or two of us actually have an interest in the cinematography/pre/post-production, but mostly its the martial arts action that we concentrate on.

I'd love to work on some weekend stuff (Lady X or otherwise) either way, but there is that resource if we need it.

We are a pageantry arts company located in Louisville KY. We just signed a contract to do a 37 show tour with a dance organization. We are seeking 3 people to go on this tour with us. It would be every weekend for 6 months (Jan-June). All expenses paid plus a salary. We would leave Louisville on Friday and come back on Sunday for most trips. If interested, please email me at earcandy@earcandyproductions.net

Sounds like a good way to burn some vacation time and weekends I waste away otherwise!

If you need help in the Tampa/Clearwater/Orlando area, I'll be happy to help.

I have some lighting, sound, a PD-150 and a XL1S, a little experience, strong back and I'm easy to work with.

I also have voice-over experience. (nothing fancy, some some radio a while back and corporate voice mail systems)

Sign me up if you need help. I'll send you an email with my experience and address asap.

-Phil

[edit] I noticed the comment on the underwater housing-- I'm a cave diver also. I have some minimal underwater shooting experience helping out on a couple of underwater cave mapping videos if that helps...

I am in Toledo and often need a second and third camera operator. Is there a listing for owners in different locals? The Canon XL1s Club wll not release any data base, so I am trying to start one here in Toledo OH.

If anyone has interest in this, please reply.

Hey Mike -

My aunt lives there. I am not the most experienced shooter, but assuming I can get off work, and don't have anything cool going on my b-day (10-26) I may be game.

I would have a free place to stay, saving us both cash and the family. would be THRILLED to have me.

Lemme check into it for you.

E-mail me if you like and I will give you a run down of the equipment I have.

You can also check out some of my work at www.PIXEL-MESH.com.

Cool. Count me in.

I just noticed you're in Melbourne. My home town is a few miles south of you--Vero Beach.

If you are doing anything around Melbourne, I'll even have a place to stay! (I can hear my aunts and uncles groaning now... *grin*)

Like I've told everyone else... Push comes to shove, you can sleep on my couch. Just make room for the rest of the cast :)

Did you say you have a waterproof housing?

Phil Reams
September 4th, 2003, 07:31 PM
Unfortunately I do not have a housing, just the knowledge on how to use one.

However, I do have some contacts--I'll call around and see if anyone has one compatible I could borrow when the time comes...

I need to have 5 hours of wedding video (shot with a GL2) edited down to 1:30 to 2 hours on DVD. This is my first try at weddings and material needs heavy editing. If I'm satisfied with the job, there will be a lot more coming.

Project is due on September 25. I live in the Gurnee, IL area but will drive to Chicago if needed.

Please email me at zenvdu@aol.com if interested. Kindly have samples and rates ready.

Thanks!

I'm talking to an editor in Chicago and we will finalize arrangements tomorrow so I will have to consider this ad closed. The response from DVInfo members was great and really appreciated.

If all goes well, I'll have a feature length movie to put on DVD by May. If you can author a DVD with animated menu, 5.1 surround, and commentary track, I would like to see an example of your work.

I will be shooting on miniDV. Now is the time to find out if there is anything I will have to do now, to insure a high quality DVD and audio. It will also give me an idea of how much lead time I'll need to have it out by June/July.

Late last week I was laid off without notice from the company I've been with for more than four years. I won't go into the sad details here. However, I am putting out my shingle for helping out people in Vancouver. Here is what I can do:

Experience/
For the past four years (eight years total experience) I was the web designer and all around multimedia creator for a streaming media technology company. I built more than a dozen internal and client related websites using HTML, .CSS, and .SSI. I created ads, marketing emails, banners, interstitials, and corporate marketing materials for my company and for many clients among whom were well-known U.S. companies. I edited and encoded video, created graphic shells, and titles for video streamed from external websites. I designed and developed application UI. I designed and supervised the printing of packaging and CD liners for consumer products. Almost all of my company's identity was designed by me. I wrote copy for the website, support entries, marketing materal and provided service to clients. I also used my XL1S to video press conferences, events, interviews and other corporate video.

Previous to that company I worked as a 3D animator and modeller for a post-production and games company before I moved into web-related businesses.

What I am looking for /
I am looking for short-term contracts involving web design, any graphics assembly, website construction, copy writing, email or ad design. I would love to design and build entertainment/promotional-related websites as this is what I enjoyed most about certain clients I dealt with at my previous work. Most of my work was corporate / product promotion.

Any video work? /
Those of you who know me from DVInfo know that I got into digital video last year. If there is anyone who wants crew, support or second camera, I am also available. Even if you just want to reach out and network, I would be happy to talk. At this time I'm also willing to volunteer for credit/experience/contacts on commercial productions.

My portfolio /
Although I am currently designing a new self-promo website, you can look at my current personal website for portfolio work.

You're gonna have to have a lot of time to edit, almost an hour to two hours per edited minute. That's my experience.

I'm making my first DVD right now, as you know ;-) and I'd be happy to pass along what I learn. I just received DVD Studio Pro 2.0 and a 1.6 ghz G5, so I'm ready to work!

Keith, there's always work shooting weddings and funerals here in Vancouver. Weddings pay well. Sorry to hear about the job.

K. Forman
September 8th, 2003, 04:46 PM
The basic editing is what I love to do. It's putting it on a DVD that I want to leave to someone else. I'm looking for nice motion menus, 5.1, and a commentary track. While it's no problem for me to do 12 hours or more cutting scenes and stuff, I know my limitations.

I had placed this in the DVD section and wanted to get some feedback from those who may have the skills I lack. It got moved to helping hands, which is ok... I am looking for a DVD author. I would rather it go to someone on the board, rather than a stranger in the yellow pages.

Keith Loh
September 8th, 2003, 05:01 PM
I'd like to get into the wedding gig sbut so far helped shoot just one. Is there any local association, etc. I can contact to reach out?

Heath McKnight
September 8th, 2003, 05:15 PM
Are you willing to pay?

heath

K. Forman
September 8th, 2003, 06:05 PM
I'll pay, but I'd like to try and get the best price on the market.
Any money for this project will be from sales. Anything before then, is coming out of my very shallow pocket. But yes, I did expect to have to spend some cash along the way.

Frank Granovski
September 8th, 2003, 06:10 PM
I don't know, just "sell yourself" and perhaps place an ad or make a deal with a wedding service.

Heath McKnight
September 8th, 2003, 06:41 PM
I sure am spending a lot of money, but it pays for itself and can be written off on taxes.

heath

K. Forman
September 8th, 2003, 07:00 PM
I've seen the prices range up towards $1000, just to make ths DVD. That is authoring, 5.1, and commentary. That is way more than I can do at this point. So, I'm shopping around. It's not that I think the price is necessarily out of line, it's just that this movie isn't worth that much ;)

Adrian Douglas
September 8th, 2003, 07:04 PM
Go to the Vancouver skate and snowboarding shops/companies and talk to them about preparing promo packages for their skaters/snowboarders. I did a few in NZ/Aus for guys as the competition for sponsorship dollars is hot and a sheet of contest results and a couple of 8x10s isn't enough anymore. You could do a package that included online presence, CD/DVD and print so the riders look like they are serious about what they do.

Heath McKnight
September 8th, 2003, 07:09 PM
That's easy, actually. I'll help ya out, if ya'd like. I won't be able to do much until early next year, but I think that's your goal, right? Email me at heath@mpsdigital.com and we'll talk.

This is probably too late, but you might try checking with the Palm Beach Film Commission's website (www.pbfilm.com) for production insurance. They keep a searchable index online. Look under Production Guides, then Support Services and do a search for insurance. There were about a dozen or so.

I kow PB Co. does free permits. I'm not sure about the rest of the state.

Good luck with your shoot.

K. Forman
September 8th, 2003, 08:59 PM
Thanks Jeremiah! I will look into that. I have yet to secure insurance yet, as most companies around here are clueless. Thanks again for the tip!

I found an apartment on Columbia Pike, at the Windsor Towers.
It's west of Glebe. Not near a metro unfortunately. But the price is great (1 bedroom, 785 sq ft, all utilities included for up to 6 months).
Still haven't got the final go ahead, hopefully today it will happen. I'm supposed to leave tommorow and arrive Sunday morning. My son is going up with me, then flying back.
