Helping Hands from 2009

Let me get this straight, you have an opportunity to take a family vacation and enjoy time to cool your jets at the beach, but you would rather shoot a wedding?

This project was entirely funded out of project so we can't pay much, but it's a good opportunity for a credit in a film that will hopefully play at lots of festivals.

Anyone interested?

I do this type work, but I don't do it for film credit.
Look at it this way, by paying a qualified professional to to mix your project, you have the opportunity to score at the film festivals. Instead of having your film lumped into the pile of other films with bad sound.

If the poor audio hasn't any dialogue you should be able to build it up by doing some Foley and building it up layer by layer. If it's dialogue you may have more difficulty, needing to do ADR or looping the dialogue.

Recording room tone or atmos tracks will cover the variations to some extent, but you really need good location mic work for the dialogue.

It's well worth having a professional sound mix done, what seems good on the edit moves up to the next level in the dubbing theatre.

Yep! Can't sit still on the beach for 8 days straight!

Still no takes?

I guess I am going to alt direction, then...

Jason Boyette · April 13th, 2009, 10:57 AM

I would love to watch an EX3/EX1 in action and be able to view the results in person. Is there anyone in the Greater Raleigh NC area who would like to show off the fancy camera for me, or let me get my hands on some of the footage so I can see how the editing process goes (from the card to the computer to the actual edit).
Before I dive in and buy one, I would like to get my feet wet first.

Message me or reply to this post.
Greatly appreciate any help!

Thanks

Anyone know of a place to rent this? A quick search showed some huge rental companies, but I only need an interview type kit (Arri 4 light kit, 4 c-stands, flags).

Anyone know of a good place to rent this stuff?

Thanks.

Hello, my friends! As I am looking for more super-high-quality work, I will continue to make more buzz until it finally pays off!

My name is Erez Henya and I am an ambitious film composer collaborating with great filmmakers internationally. I love doing what I do and I give all my heart to it with a bold passion. I also give a great importance to the pleasure of collaborating. There's nothing like working with new friends, not just filmmakers, that you feel open with. Great ideas come from both sides pretty easily this way, and the communication (a key component in any film production) is clear, many times also predictable.

I am ready for new challenges, and I would love to see you on my humble website and hear from you what you have to say about my music, as well as how you think I can execute your artistic vision to this great upcoming film of yours!

So there you go, my friend, please feel welcome to contact me at erez@erezhenya.com or through a PM here, if you dare! :-)

I am looking forward to hearing from you and working with you!

Feel free to write to me for a free quote,

I'm in the process of preparing for a move to Vancouver from my long time home in Winnipeg on the Canadian Prairies. I'd love to meet up with any and all DVI Forumites who may be lurking around Vancouver from about May 1st to 6th or 7th. Love to chat over coffee or knock back an amber adult beverage and swap tall tales and network a bit (my accountant says I can write off at least SOME of my tab if I talk shop...).

Drop me a line here or via e-mail. Love to put faces to the names and make some new friends.

David Schuurman · April 19th, 2009, 09:16 PM

Hey Shaun,
Are you done all your winnipeg productions and starting fresh out here?

Vancouver is a great city I'm sure you'll love it. I doubt I'll be around much while you're in town but good luck with all the efforts involved in moving!

Shaun Roemich · April 19th, 2009, 09:24 PM

All finished in Winnipeg may be a stretch but I am VERY seriously looking at making Vancouver my home. Perhaps the next trip out... And thanks for your input! I've always enjoyed Van. Time to put my money (and my fanny!) where my mouth is... um, that may have come out wrong...

Alain Lumina · April 19th, 2009, 10:47 PM
