of mine about five years ago. I can't find him now. A company would like to use the commercial. I will not be able to obtain consent. What are the pitfalls of me allowing the company to use this commercial without the actors permission?

Depends on whether a contract was drafted and whether any compensation is being offered. He could see the commercial and either request compensation or request his likeness not be used without his consent, at which point the company would not be able to use the commercial unless/until they make an agreement with him or risk legal action. Likewise, he might approach you requesting a percentage of whatever compensation you receive from the company's use of the commercial.

It's also possible that the company using the commercial discovers your friend has not given consent and could take pre-emptive legal action against you to cover themselves.

Not sure if that is a complete answer, but hope it helps.

You should consult with a lawyer rather than ask for advice on a Internet forum.

Nevermind what I said. ^^^This.^^^

I appreciate all of your replies. It really isn't that big of a deal, though. I Will just not pursue it.

Somebody's dream job, right here... it helps if you live on (or can relocate to) Long Island. The right person for the job will be doing a *lot* of travelling around the USA.

I've shot and produced an 8-10 minute video of a 5k run and cultural event for the last several years for a local charity, Asha-Jyothi, who uses the video as its primary tool for recruiting volunteers and attracting contributors. I'm unavailable this year, and the charity is anxious to maintain a high quality video for these purposes. I know we have D.C.-area videographers here. Any takers?

My video from last year to give you an idea of expectations (FYI, I shot this on a Sony FS700 and had an assistant running sound):

Production time commitment is about 5 hours. You'll likely get exposure on their website and on promo materials, plus a whopping good feeling about doing a right thing.

If you have any questions for me, certainly post them here or PM me.

Thanks for your consideration!

I'm based out of Toronto and have been commissioned to produce winner profile videos for a corporate award show. Few of the winners are in Calgary & Edmonton and I'm looking to have someone from that area to shoot those videos for me. The shoot involves, doing talking head interview (3-5 questions) with 1-2 people, b-roll shots of the company exterior/interior and a few b-roll shots of the winner doing his/her daily work. Each location would take about 2 hours to shoot. No editing required (send the raw footage to me). I'm looking to have this done next week (week of Sept 7th) as the award show is the week after. I will do all the scheduling. Please respond if you can take this up. Please slo provide me a similar sample work of yours. Thanks.

I'm shooting music video in Dartmouth mass ( beach town) on Sept 26.
I need someone very experienced in setting up and balancing full size Ronin ( not Ronin m).
I'll be shooting with my Sony Fs7, and will be bringing my Ronin and harness. If someone has their own Ronin, with the Cine milled extension arms, that might work. In that case I would bring only my camera and harness.
If anyone is interested, please contact me.

Hi

My name is Sam Knights and I am a composer/producer looking for projects to work on. I studied Classical Music at Leeds College of Music, where I won the Composition Award, but that doesn't mean I'm a pompous classical musician; I have extensive experience with pop and rock bands too, so I am good at making almost any kind of music.

If you want to hear examples of my music, visit Home (http://www.samuelknights.snack.ws) - the most relevant music for you will be under the Soundtrack/Ambient subcategory, but feel free to explore the rest of the site.

Can't wait to hear from some of you and get to work.

Anyone near Knoxville, and available next wednesday? (Oct 21)? Might have some more jobs coming up down there, so even if you're NOT available on the 21st, but are in the area, please let me know.

The work is instructional/seminar type of stuff.

Thanks!

Title says it all. I need a shooter for a corporate gig in Orlando, FL from November 16th to 18th. Ideal candidate will have a Sony FS-100, FS-700, FS7 or similar camera and a good selection of lenses, or at least one long zoom. Please let me know your day rate, audio/video gear and your corporate experience.

Thanks in advance.

PM sent. Thanks!

On November 17th, my employer needs a shooter/editor to do a one day, quick-turnaround job. I normally do this job, but won't be available. We will pay market rates.

We expect three visits: 1) To discuss the job, see the setup, equipment, etc. 2) To shoot the event, which will be 90 minutes long, and 3) To return any hard drives, cards, etc after the edit and to deliver the edited video, if not already delivered online.

We have the equipment and are open to you bringing your own, familiar gear. The shoot is of a speaker at a lectern, the audience, and PowerPoint slides. We typically use a small-chip camera for a locked down wide shot that also records continuous audio, a 5D2 with 70-200/2.8L IS II lens that is operated live, and the PowerPoint slides. Like The Daily Show, I typically pan the talent to the side when I want to key the PowerPoint slides over the shoulder and pan back when I want to focus on the speaker. I'll also try to get the audience member, if somebody stands to be recognized by the speaker. The 5D2 has a 12 minute limit, so you need to turn off/on the power regularly, during lulls.

We have two ellipsoid lights that we place on the sides to light the talent. Other than that, we use the available light.

The edit needs fast turnaround. Use the wide shot as the master. Add the tight shot, tight shot with PowerPoint over the shoulder, or full-frame PowerPoint, depending on the context of the moment. The good news is that the edit decisions are fairly obvious. The bad news is that it's an intense job to turn around 90 minutes of edited video quickly. One needs to balance speed and perfection. Do a simple mix on the audio to ensure that the dialog levels are consistent, render, and deliver.

We can provide an example video so you can see what's expected. However, note that these are private company meetings, so the information is confidential.

If interested, please contact Scott Ross and me with your contact information and your shooting/editing experience.

Update: We've connected with a video professional who will take on the job. Unless we encounter unexpected events, this posting is closed.

Chalk up another win for DV Info!

Hi, I have a wedding I've shot and edited (in Adobe Premiere). I'm out of the country for a while though and need to create 3 DVD versions and send them to the couple in Texas.

Can someone help me with the following -

- Use some sort of typical wedding menu (I think there will be about 6 chapters)

- Print the DVD/jewel case with whatever your usual bells and whistles are.

- Send the 3 DVDs out.

The idea here is that you're a wedding videographer who creates DVDs all the time so you're just replicating what you normally do with the video I'll send you.

If you're interested, please send me a quote with what this would cost.

I have a corporate shoot that requires some lighting/support gear and possible grip work. If you are interested and available, please PM me.

Equipment we're looking for is Kino (type) case lights, LED panel lights, modifiers (scrims/flags), c-stands, sandbags. Flying in with gear is no fun, so I'd rather rent or hire locally.

Thanks.

I need to hire an audio person with equipment for a shoot in Nashua, NH this Monday. Looking for least intrusive setup to record two people at front and 25 people in a semi-circle around them. Would need mixer and mics (5 boundry? 2 shotgun or lavs?).

Looking for someone with a Ronin or equivalent gimbal that will support a C100. Shooting on 12/15 in central Philly (indoors) from 4:00-10:00PM. Please respond with rates if interested.

Thanks- Art

Hello,

I am looking for a shooter for this Sunday in Dallas at 3:00. This is a youth football game where the team wants the footage uploaded to Hudl. So no editing, just stop and start at the whistles then upload the footage when you get home.

Outdoors, tripod and 720p60. Thanks and please contact me asap!

Found a shooter. Job filled.

still looking for help and willing to pay

Just saw this, did you get it sorted or still have a need?

Edit: never mind I just noticed your post is a month old.

I am in need of someone to help me out with a gig on December 19th. This would involve helping me load up gear in Corvallis, riding with me to Bend, operating camera on a live, multi-cam shoot, then helping me unload everything back in Corvallis.

Some of the gear is pretty heavy, so having the physical ability to help lift it is a necessity. Also, this is an extremely low budget production. I only have $150 to pay someone to help out with it. If anyone is interested, please send me an e-mail at AdamGrunseth at gmail dot com.
