Bryan,
All depends on what you need and the time commitment.
I enjoy edit work as well as shooting DV. You can reach me at markrad@charter.com
I'm in the metroplex.

Mark

I'm located in San Diego, CA. If you're filming and need an extra hand, shoot me an email! BTW I am a total newbie that would like some exposure to the filming world. Please no lame tasks like getting people food and bringing coffee. I want something valuable so I can ->LEARN<-

What you got??

I live on the north side of Chicago in Andersonville.

I do Indie films and I have a rig if you are still out there email or post reply.

Tom

First off there is no pay or rental fee, so if that's not your thing, I apologize, but that's the way it is.

I am a member of Group 101 Films(www.group101films.com), a short film collective, and am looking for a DP with the AGDVX-100 for my latest short here in Los Angeles.

The story is about a young man facing personal crises during a night on magic mushrooms.

Planning three night shoot on and around Dec 8th; using full-moon light for exterior night shots.

One of my shorts aired on AMC for their Monster Fest this past Halloween.

If interested, I will forward you the script and we can discuss the project.

Best,

Andrew

monkeygolucky@yahoo.com

So when does the next one get under way?

At the risk of sounding like an ass, I gotta say that's not the best attitude.

If you truely are a newbie and are looking for exposure you're best bet is to get yourself on a set doing whatever you can. Just being there and seeing how it all comes together is invaluable, even if you are handing coffee to everyone. You can learn by observing and asking questions. Refusing to do some basic newbie PA responsiblilities, you're putting a chip on your shoulder which may deter a crew from considering you one of the team and since filmmaking is a team sport and all about collaberation, I doubt you'll learn as quickly as you like.

Just letting everyone know if you are looking for a videographer or an extra cameraman in the Madison Wisconsin area please let me know, I am dying to do some real work! I have a GL2, Vegas video 4 for editing as well as a lot of other things at my disposal. I have a degree in Radio and TV boradcasting from the Madison Media Institute and a lot of experience. Feel free to contact me at Jason@jcmediaservices.com for more information. I have VERY reasonable rates, probably a steal for most people!

I am beginning production planning for an indie short (but well organized!) to be shot in Raleigh and Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Photography will happen in January through March 2004 (but only weekends or evenings) I want to shoot several scenes with a two-camera setup - I have to have a GL2 (or maybe XL1) to match my GL2 without a lot of screwing around. If you are experienced or interested in learning please contact me via jim @ turnipvideo.com. You can also check out my web site, www.turnipvideo.com. Thanks.

Mark, you're absolutely correct...

<<<-- Originally posted by Andreas Fernbrant : Hi Keith!

Did you ever finish the video for Glorious?

Shoot Location: Austin, TX
Date: Fri night 21 - Sat 22 - Sun 23

If anyone knows of a Sound Mixer with equipment who would be available this Friday night, Sat & Sun all day please tell them to call me at (310) 880-6690.

Good thing I didn't see this post a few weeks earlier.

We just drove to Madison Wisconsin from Florida (a last minute project) to shoot some footage for a FOX news story. It turns out my wife and I had a great time in Madison and the trip was fantastic. We fell in love with that town.

I live in northwest Ohio, but my production company also has a Cleveland office, which we work out of as well. We generally get our talen from Cleveland, etc.

We are working on several projects next year and we are looking for cameraman, DP's, and some sound people as well, since most of our crew has recently left to pursue other careers. Check out www.ardentonline.com if you're interested.

Like most indie films, we only offer copy, credit, meals.

If anyone is planning to shoot DV in Brazil please let me know.

Can help you in Argentina too, but my residence is in Rio de Janeiro.

You can reach me on my e-mail:

I guess I should have posted earlier! Madison is a great town, so many things to see and do, the scenery here is great. LEt me know if you ever need anything :)

I moved your post to the approriate forum

I'm looking for a DVX100, GL1/GL2 and possibly a PD150/VX2000 in this area. I need them for about a week. I don't want to put any serious on them, so I'm looking for a cheap rental price, or maybe a week trade for an XL1.
If anyone can help, that'd be great.

Thanks

Ive tried emailing you... didnt work
you have any other emial address?

let me know

Hey Dylan- You are welcome to borrow my GL1. Swing by anytime and pick it up.

Ozan
its the_klenzer@hotmail.com Should work no problem, give 'er another try.

Keith, you sure you don't want to deliver? :)

The way i see it, if you want to borrow it, you can pick it up :)

I'm in need of some help.

As you might figure out from my contact information I'm from Sweden. In Sweden we speak Swedish and not English. So when we speak English it sounds funny.

So I'm turning to you American people. I need some help with a short short speaker vioce for my next short movie. You will get credits but as I don't know the economic situation yet I can't really say if I can offer any payment.

The thing I need is someone that speaks fluid american english to say some simple lines. The intended use will be as a radio host vioce. (Between songs) 3 lines max! Something like: This was "artist name" with "artist song" stay tuned for some yada yada yada... That's all!


If you feel up for it and can produce good quality sound please contact me! You don't need to have any special voice. Just the ability to wanting to help out and basic understanding on how to record sound.

Thanks!
Andreas

Friend of mine just called up to complain that he had assembled a crew, cast, equipment and was all ready to yell, "Action." when the lead actress ran off the set yelling, "I can't do this!"

Too bad he didn't have an understudy.

Oh, and several other major characters have committments that will not allow them to continue past the first of the year.

Anybody know of a hot late-teens, early-twenties Northern California actress that wants to step in? I don't know what the script is but at the beginning, the young lady is Caucasian and then becomes African-American.

Please send me an email if you know of anyone.

Work with a dedicated crew on a 30 minute digital suspense in December 2003!

We are looking for a lighting designer who uses their own equipment and has some experience lighting digital video to look like film. Specifically we're looking for a designer who knows lighting to gives each shot a new dimension without getting too far from realistic visuals. I know subtle lighting design is one of the toughest arts to master on a tiny budget production but I'm hoping there's some talented people out there who are interested!

Please contact us at bansheechapter@yahoo.com ASAP

If you don't get someone [with more free time] by Sunday, I'll do it, assuming you don't need true radio voices. I'm assuming about 5 minutes of just saying a few phrases and sending you the .wav or mp3?

I have an AT4073a or AT4071a mic and will record onto my vx2000 through an XLR adaptor. Is that ok? What phrases do you want? Am I a radio DJ? Am I happy? Slow, fast, etc.?

Hi Stuart, I've already got one. But if that does not work out I'll contact you.

Thanks!

/Andreas

Great, happy to help.

are most American TV personalities and actors not Canadian?

Hi everyone,

I am a toronto area filmmaker who is availible to shoot your project, or Direct and possibly edit.

I have an XL1s, Gl2, and an avid.

If you have money, or can pay great!! No money, I may be interested in it if it's a great project.

Documentaries, short films, indie features.

Send a short outline to michaelds@(remove)rogers.com

Just guessing here but: No, most American TV personalities and actors are not Canadian

If all the other ones fall through let me know I do professional voice overs here in the US.

European Group Cut - Digital Film Project

I have a bunch of Mini-DVs (shot by different people on different cameras in different lighting conditions) and I need put them all together with uniform lighting and sound. Lots of brightening and boosting.

I know to go cheap you go where the pornographers go. So, I called the place I used for my student films and they've sold all the equipment.

Where, in Los Angeles, can I go to ride levels for a couple of hours without breaking the bank?

Hello all.
I live in the Los Angeles area and I am seeking DV camera work. I have a GL2 with some equipment (professional tripod, monopod, Wide Angle converter) and a Glidecam 2000. If anyone is looking for help on any upcoming shoots I would love to work.
Thanks.
I shot a very well known musician a few weeks ago for a DVD release.

I need someone in central nebraska who could help me with a short film I'm working on. This is a non-paid job that will offer very valuable in experience to someone who needs to break into the business.

I will need someone with a good quality, 3-chip mini DV camera and sound gear to shoot a short interview and some B-roll for a video I am doing for a non-profit group I belong to. I only need about 30-40 sec of sound bites. Should take a good shooter less than an hour.

Can't pay much (I'm doing this gratis) but should be able to arrange for some limited compensation and will credit.

Contact me at: mcavana3@nycap.rr.com

(Sorry. Couldn't resist.)

It's probably much less expensive for you in the long run to simply upgrade your home computer, capture the video and do all the work yourself on your own time.

I know. But there's a deadline involved. And iMovie is only helping so much.

I'm looking to help out on DV projects in Seattle with someone who doesn't mind me asking questions and actively learning the ropes, etc.

I actually have a fair amount of video experience, having made a number of zero-budget features as a youth in the 80s. But I was using consumer VHS gear, editing on U-matic, and generally undisciplined about the tech/craft of serious videography.

I'm a sharp, reliable, quick learner with extensive creative background (I've done video, been a professional musician, done graphic and web design, writing...) and technical background (e.g. just finished a BS in computer science at UW).

Now I'm looking to get back into video, with an eye toward both documentary and artistic work. I want to learn the tech/craft more rigorously, and my experience is that nothing beats learning directly from people with real experience.

You can email me at:

Ciao,

I’m looking for a NO-Budget (meaning I can pay next to nothing) special effects artist for the Spring of 2004 in New Jersey. I will be shooting a Horror Film, and will be in need of effects such as dissected humans and maybe some “monster” face make up effects. If anyone is interested please drop me an E-mail at: gcgipson@yahoo.com Thanks!

Requesting submissions for the soundtrack & sound beds for a reality television series to be shot in 2004. It will be shot documentary style, in remote locations throughout the US, and chronicle the lives of a unique group of people.

I need Americana, cowboy, local, and western type stuff, but if you think you have something I should listen to send it! I'm looking for something unique! I'm looking for both gritty emotional tracks as well as uplifting music. I don't necessarily need "twang" but should be modern "regional", "cowboy" or "western" type music.

For sound beds pretty much anything goes EXCEPT electronica, it must be organic!

It should be broadcast quality (no cussing).

We have a VERY limited budget! I want original music for the show, but can't afford to pay huge sums for licensing etc.

The not so fine print: We are going to air our show on RFD TV, it has 23 million subscribers, and we have been talking to Outdoor Life Network (OLN), which has about double that.

If you allow us to use your music we will give you credit in our exit roll (advertising you to millions) along with a link on our website, and pay the standard (ASCAP/BMI) royalties for artist(s) & writer(s). Here is your chance to be heard by millions of new listeners, and get paid for it.

Please MAKE SURE you include your contact information (name & email or phone number) on everything you submit. If the your music gets reviewed separately from your press kit and it doesn't have your name & number on it we may not be able to contact you. A CD is the preferred media for submission.

Due to the nature of the project and time constraints, I will not be able to contact everyone who submits. I will not be able to return any materials you provide, so please don’t send masters or originals, a copy is fine. If selected I will contact you and I may request additional materials at that time.

Please send submissions to:
Tele.0.Logic Productions,
4242 Law St., Houston,
Texas, 77005-1036

Please email questions to:
Mark.Austin@markaustin.com

We already have RFD TV lined up and OLN wants to see a pilot. We will start shooting and editing the pilot in January and February.

Thanks!!! Mark Austin

p.s. I'll be needing to hire camera & audio crew too, I'll post more information as our locations get scheduled.

as we all hopefully have figured out by now, the first step in a short film project is a story... or at least an idea. i have neither.
please help. this will be in the extremely low to NO-budget range so dont expect pay til AFTER we win at sundance and miramax buys it... [dont hold your breath] not many actors, no elaborate costumes, no exotic locations (except an arcade or mini golf, ihave access to those). Think along the lines CLerks, or even resivoir dogs. one main set, cast of about a dozen. special effects: maybe... SLC punk level of effects... not matrix or even fight club. if you just have ideas email me
woodsmith111@yahoo.com
i do have writing skills... just not enough.
im in Sacramento CA. if all you want to do is write, then it doesnt matter where you are.

Anyone living in the Tokyo area who is interested in auditioning for roles or being considered for crew positions in an upcoming "episodic" project, please contact me by clicking the "e-mail" button below.

Formal auditions will be held on January 10 at a venue to be announced. Pre-production is already in progress and filming is set to begin the first week of March.

This is a rather large ensemble cast, male and female, young and old, Japanese and foreign with 10 leading characters and a host of secondary characters...so audition applications will be accepted from everyone. Actors with additional talents (singing, dancing, musical performance) will be considered for the principle roles.

We're just now assembling the crew and everyone will be considered since this is a rather large project. If you have no experience but a lot of enthusiasm, contact us...we'll find something for you.

Details of the production are being kept secret for the moment, but the general storyline involves a group of talented, creative people who aren't making any headway on their own, so they decide to band together to see what they can accomplish. The real story, though, is the relationships between the people involved and how they manage to cope with Japanese/foreign cultural differences, different styles, hopes, and dreams, rejections and failures, etc.

Writers who feel they have their finger on the pulse of relationships complicated by culture and language differences, Tokyo life, etc. are invited to apply for participation on a "per episode" basis.

I know there are some Tokyonians here at DVinfo...so contact us!

I live in North County San Diego and own the Pani DVX100-24p. I am looking for someone who is of like minded interests.

I am 33, married with child and have a full-time job (start up company) that is not related at all to film which means I have obligations and responsibility. It also means I am my own boss and do have somewhat of a flexible schedule. In my spare time, I just want to write, shoot, direct...

I want to make films. Hopefully you can bring something to the table above and beyond desire. If you have equipment I'm lacking, that would only help matters. Besides the DVX I have a Bogen tripod kit and am looking to get additional accessories throughout this year.

I have a computer that is fast enough (DELL Pent 4) for NLE but do not yet own any NLE worth a damn. I hope to get VEGAS or BLADE for the Native 24p aspect.

My favorite kinds of films are sci-fi, horror, actio,. thriller. I basically just want to entertain. I have no political agenda here. I am looking for someone who wants to make films and collaborate with me. We can both write, produce, direct for festivals and DVD.

Again, I own the DVX. Maybe you own one as well? (2 DVX shoot would be great) but if you do not, that is okay. Hopefully you can bring other needed items to the table.

Send me an email or reply here please.

just ordered my GL2. hoping to start a no or extremely low-budget digital film soon
what i need first is a script. you seem to have similar tastes in generas. wanna colaborate on a screen play? probably no sci-fi its harder to do <well> low budget.

with a story like that, im surprised no one has asked to see it yet!
<not sarcasm, i swear!> ill be the first. did your shroom trip get off the ground?
