Helping Hands from 2009

Anmol Mishra · October 30th, 2009, 02:32 AM

Hi! I have been preparing for an indie feature for a year. Scenes have been scoped out. Equipment decided on.
I am going with a 7D as the prime camera, theres really nothing to compare, if you can avoid jello.

Its a romantic comedy. I can give more information later.

I prefer someone with a photography background, or some artistic bent. A painter, musician, etc. Technology can be taught, but the artistic "feel" is harder to get.

I have all the equipment needed, lenses etc. just need the 1 person.

I want this to be a paid job, but cannot afford to pay industry rates - so an ideal person would be someone just starting on video, with a prior experience in photography (i.e. composition). This way it will be a paid learning experience type of a job.

I can also trade time - I work in Sydney as a professional dancer, and teach around the universities, so I could trade Latin, Salsa or Jazz classes in return.

The shots are in the early dawn hours - 5-7 a.m. near the Sydney CBD. Alternatively some scenes are at night.

There are 9 scenes in total and I will film 2 of them myself. There is dancing in the film.

One of the shot is a matrix-style bullet-time sequence with 55 Canon Powershot cameras.

Check this thread ...

Setup for CHDK matrix bullet-time rig with Powershot A450 and A460 cameras

Please pass this on to anyone you think may be interested.

Greetings Everyone.

I know everybody's seen ads like this before, and heres another one.

We are building a network of videographers across the country. The videographers will be shooting and editing short business profile videos for a wide variety of companies. By joining the network, you will be offered shoots that are needed for your location. What this means is that by joining, you may or may not ever hear from us, but if we have a shoot, we will call.

We do not require any specific equipment or specific cameras, as long as it is of decent quality (3-chip, or a nice CMOS). You need to have a good tripod tripod, and most importantly, a good microphone (lavalier, shotgun).

For editing, we don't care if it's FCP, Vegas, Premier......heck it could be iMovie if your really good at it. As long as the video can look and sound professional, we're happy.

So, if your interested in joining our list and getting calls if we have a shoot in your area, just send us a quick e-mail with a description of who you are, where you are, and a link to your work. The e-mail to send to is:

Dear DVinfo Users,

My name is Mike Krumlauf. I am a young filmmaker in pre production on my first feature entitled "Written Images". The film focuses on a story I feel has NOT been told before and i feel it might gain some of your interests as well.

It follows the pains of being a gay teen both in and out of the closet. Information about the film can be seen on its page on facebook.

I set up a donation website that can help me raise money for production. My budget is currently set at 75,000. If you donate one dollar, it can help me tremendously.

Links to the facebook page and donation page are bellow.

Thanks for your time,

Hi all,

I have a friend in London asking me if I know any cameramen in that area, who could help her out with one hour shoot tomorrow, 3rd of Nov. It's really easy job, some person speaking should be documented.

Hi,

My XL2 has died mid-shoot. It's the biggest shoot of the year for me and I nearly cried when it happened.

I am appealing to any XL2 owner within a sensible distance from Farnborough/Basingstoke in Hampshire (say 50 miles?) who doesn't need their camera between now and close of play on Friday and who is willing to lend or hire it to me so I can finish this shoot. It's all indoors and there are three crew in total.

I will gladly pay a sensible hire charge in cash, leave my passport with you, a credit card, my children (well, one of them), my birth certificate - anything you need for security.

I am fully insured against theft and accident (with Photoguard) and can let you have copies of those documents if required.

Is there any kind soul who can help me out? I really am desperate!

I can be reached on 07900 904721 any time.

Hi All....

I am looking for anyone who lives in the Sydney metropolitan area that might be interested in working with 3 other people on filming live bands.. so far the money hasnt been huge and its not really inconsistent so i wouldnt want to create any illusions, but that has been changing slowly.. Our hope is to find someone who would enjoy it first and foremost the same as we do and then potentially make a bit extra also..

We get to work on some cool gigs. We have worked with some of the countries better bands and also the odd international act so its generally got good production value.. Its also a good team enviroment between the 3 of us.. Whatever we do is available for everyones portfolios, so you can take the work with you and use in your own CV etc...

IF anyone is interested let me know. We have a system on how we organise things and divide money when its there, id be happy to explain it to whoever is keen to get involved.. I can also list our setups and give some examples of recent work.

If you couldnt make it from time to time that is no sweat, we can shuffle things around and usually make it work but it would just be good to have someone we can contact when gigs come up.. Also it tends to be rock bands that we record so if you dont like rock guitar you probably wont like what we're doing..

please email or PM me if interested.. cheers..
