Helping Hands from 2004

[Richard Alvarez]

Gino,

There's over a hundred scripts listed there right now, didn't you find ANYTHING that was of interest to you?

[Aaron Koolen]

Sorry for the longshot post but I know there are a few New Zealanders here with Canon cameras and I'm looking to hire one if I can. I have a seminar shoot this coming weekend and rather than get a Sony VX2000 PD150 etc (That's all everyone seems to have) I'd like to get an XM2 or Xl1s. The budget for this is very small but if anyone would be able to hire or loan their cam for a day, or even come shoot if you wanted to keep it under scrutiny could you email me. Email address in my profile.

If you live a little out of Auckland that's ok, I can come pick it up.


Cheers
Aaron

I'm getting married on July 11th of this year and would love to have someone who has experience shooting and/or owns an HD1/HD10 to shoot my wedding for me.

It's a Sunday evening wedding at an outdoor park pavillion and I'd like to capture the entire ceremony and reception, roughly 4 hours or so.

I own an HD1 that could be used and would love to get footage from more than one angle with two cameras. If an owner knows of someone who can operate the other camera it would be great.

I'd also be willing to rent an HD10 and lighting for the day if anyone who has experience with the camera is willing to travel.

It would be a payed job, but I would imagine not to 'standards' for pay, trying to keep the wedding budget down. I would just need the raw footage and I can edit it and put it out to D-VHS and DVD.

If anyone is interested or can refer someone please contact me at tlambert@cinci.rr.com. We can talk travel, pay, expectations etc.

Thanks.

Troy

[Mark Jervis]

I can't help you on the shoot as you are in Ohio and I am in Georgia but I just wanted to say congratulations and I know what you are going through. I am getting married myself on May 29th and own 2 HD-10s and I'm trying to find/train a operator for the cameras during the ceremony. Good luck.

Hi Mark and Troy,

Congratulations to both of you on getting married.

Mark I live in Atlanta and I may be able to help you. Please email me: ed@highlydef.com

I have been shooting 16mm film and Betacam since 1982.
I made the switch last year to DV.

My business partner Ben and I are doing pre-production on a biography drama for a rap performer here in Atlanta using the JVC HD 10. We will be buying one shortly and would like to try an HD10 for ourselves before committing the cash.

Any way, back to the wedding: I have a Steady tracker and tripod/ Miller head, Lowell Kit. I would be happy to help you if I can.

Best Regards,

Ed Hill

I can shoot, but only if travel and the hotel is covered. Of course, that may be out of the budget. But if I can help out, let me know. And, of course, congrats!

Hey, Gino...

Actually, I wrote a short last year that was just a lark; kind of a rip on Valentine's Day shorts that were making the rounds.

Anyway, it's real low-budget to shoot, but I have no intentions of making it myself or otherwise using it.

It's called "Somewhere South Of Heaven" and if you want it, I'll give it to you. Just credit me as writer on any production.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll send it to you. All I ask is that you let me know if you plan on using it or not, and maybe a copy of the finished product.

[Keith Loh]

Some of you know I've been concentrating more on writing now. This spring I was a winner of a Canada-wide feature screenplay contest and am just finishing the workshopping phase and hopefully getting into the networking phase.

I thought I'd let loose one of my tools that I used which helped me in the development of my script. It's a Word template that is my substitute for going out and buying Final Draft or Movie Magic.

http://www.keithloh.com/writing/film...templates.html

How to install it and use it is explained on that page.

My writing is covered in another page linked to from that page.

[Robert Knecht Schmidt]

Bang-up job, Keith!

[John Lee]

I recently graduated out of College Park, and I've been working on some short no-budget type stuff since then. I tend to agree that this is not the Hollywood of the East, and it is very hard to find actors. However, it seems there is no lack of skilled technicians, writers, and people who just love to make film.

Hope I get the oppurtunity to meet some of you in the future...
