HDV shooter needed in Houston, TX: July 2, 2005
 

I need an experienced HDV shooter who has his/her own camera for a 5-hour job (about two hours of prep, 2 1/2 hours of shooting, 1/2 hour of breakdown). This is in Houston, TX, on Saturday, July 2, 2005, from about 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event is an ethnic fashion show.

I'm bringing my own HD10 so I'd prefer someone who has an HD10 or HD1. If you're an FX1 / Z1 shooter, well that'd only work if you have two of them so I could operate one of them. It would probably be too risky to try to match 1080i and 720p30 footage even if I deinterlaced and converted the 1080i to 720p30, let alone all the time that would take.

Please email me at tvwriter_at_mac_dot_com (no underscores, @ instead of "at," "." in place of "dot."

The job pays $260 and you'll need to supply your own tapes (3 of them). Thanks.

and they have to buy you lunch

What do you mean by that?

$260 doesn't seem like very much anyway. Then you want them to supply three tapes too. You want them there for 5 hours. They have the equipment and they have to supply tapes. They have to drive there. Probably it's an all day deal. For what, after everything? A couple of hundred bucks?

You should at least supply the tapes.

I'm glad you got around to being more direct.

I believe in the Golden Rule. I would be perfectly happy if you or anyone else paid me $260 for a 5 hour job where I supplied the tapes. If you feel offended by paying me only $260, I'd be happy to relieve your conscience by accepting more than that. I'm in Illinois as well, so please keep me in mind. Thanks.

The reason I thought that it's a good idea for the other person to supply the tapes is that I figure people are particular about which type of tapes they feed their camera. Further, it could pose a problem for me if I was to run around town finding their particular tapes, or mail ordering them.

I am open to compensating for the cost of the tapes that the other person uses.

~$50/hour is apparently beneath your dignity. I apologize for having insulted such a great man.

By the way, I'd personally take the person out for lunch if they'd like, maybe to Pappadeaux or Pappas Brothers.

OK,,,,$300 is not to bad.

My day rate is a bit more than that.

And I live in Dallas so I'd have to have travel covered.

And I have an FX1, which isn't what you're looking for.




So.....you want me? ;)

Well, four hours or so of driving each way just wouldn't be worth it unless you had other business in Houston the same weekend. I'm not working with a budget where I can cover travel expenses.

If you had a Losmandy Spider Dolly along with your FX-1 skills and five hours of work, for the added value I could probably justify paying $450. I'd then have to rent an FX-1 or Z-1 for myself though, so I guess the budget would be busted in that case.

I'll probably end up using my old-fashioned three-wheeled dolly. I'll get the hotel to lay down some hard flooring over the carpet beside the runway (it's a fashion show) so I can run my dolly smoothly over it.

In case you've never seen the spider dolly, take a look:

If you know an HD10 shooter in Houston I'd really appreciate it if you referred them to me. I know Texas is a big place but I'm saying this just in case. There must be FX-1 / Z-1 people who have HD10s sitting in dark closets. Thanks.

I'm seeking an animator, preferably flash, for a long term project
 

Hi, guys. Hopefully this doesn't end up in that thread about ridiculous job offers/demands.

I am seeking an animator to work on an animated,episodic series based on this short film, "The Ninjews" ( http://www.joshbass.com/Ninjewswm9.wmv ). This short film was included on the Spike and Mike "Sick and Twisted" DVD in 2003. PLEASE NOTE: THOUGH THIS MOVIE IS CLAYMATION, I AM *NOT*
LOOKING TO DO THE REST OF THE SERIES IN THAT MANNER. I was thinking of simple 2D animation, along the lines of Aqua Teen Hunger Force or Sea Lab (reused sets and character designs, that is). I am partnered with a growing internet television company called maniaTV ( www.maniatv.com ) hosts of the show "Too Short for Hollywood (10pm EST), whose site received more than a million hits last month. This will be a long term project, as I am currently contracted to produce ten 5-7 minute episodes, with more likely to follow. The turnaround time on each episode will be six weeks or less. This is a paying gig, though the budget for this project is very modest (and I'm not in charge of it, so don't shoot the messenger). The episodes will be shown on ManiaTV, with exposure to a worldwide audience. As ManiaTV continues to grow, so will the budgets and pay scale for this project. As it stands, this project might be better for a student, or someone looking to build their animation reel, though anyone is welcome to apply (I do need to see samples of your work, however). If interested, please email: joshbass at sbcglobal dot net.

Now, I know this is not an animation forum, but I've known you guys for a long time, so you're the first ones I thought I'd post this ad to, just in case anyone on the board, or someone a board member knows, might be interested. If you know of any animation-centered forums around the net, or other places to place this ad and seek help, also let me know, please. I have a few places I'm already going to, but the more, the better, says I. So, again, thanks.

T-Shirt/Embroidered Polos and Hats and More
 

I would to apologize if this sort of thing is frowned upon, I have been a bit undecided on whether or not to offer my services to you guys, but I thought that I might be able to help you guys out if you're looking for promotional items.

By day I'm a sales rep for First Gear, a screenprinting and embroidery company in Kentucky. We're running some summer special for promotional white t-shirts with a two color front, 1 color back, free custom artwork and screen fees w/ a First Gear Logo (about 2" wide) for bottom line price of $3.99 per shirt. Shipping would be estimated for this type of order at right around $25 for the order. I know that at bridal shows and other events promotional items can play a major role in drawing people to your booth, and really getting their attention. Also, if you are interested in more or less, please feel free to drop me a line, as this isn't a firm number special.

Also, if you're looking for some professional looking twill button shirts or polos with embroidery work, we can also supply you with some nice casual wear with no minimum order requirement. We offer a full catalog, partially browsable on the web, and custom artwork for the sew. Digitizing fees would apply to graphics.

I'm not trying to push any of this on you guys, I just see how awesome this community is, and extending my services to you guys if you are intersted. You won't see me spamming this across other threads or bumping this, just as a curteousy.

Thanks for the time.

I could be available in Houston....

Progressive/Social Justice Video Making in TN
 

Hi -

While inching along on my own feature length DV project, I'd like to find other things along a similar philosophical/political line to work on. Are there any other filmmakers in Middle TN who could use some help with projects that are oriented to social justice, environmental, or peace issues? I can shoot, edit, direct, or serve as a member of your crew. Looking to make the world a better place while practicing my craft.

Short-Term Equipment rental
 

I have a gig to tape a jazz performance of a local university school of music, and would really love to have the ability to edit down from a two camera set-up.

I have a single xl-1s, and have heard the second camera needs to be on par with the first camera, or the quality change will be noticeable when you cut between the two. I can't really purchase another xl, or even a gl. Would prefer a gl, so my daughter can operate it handily.

Any advice on a reputable business where I could rent a gl-1 or gl-2 convenient to North Carolina, by this Friday?

As an alternative, what about purchasing a low-end DV camera, would that really work ok? would it work somewhat ok?

All help appreciated.

Eddie

I know that EVS rents cameras. Try www.EVSonline.com, but call them for fastest response. I deal with Rush there.

Considering time pressure and importance, I would not try to fool with matching to a 1 chipper at this point, although it can probably be done.

You might also try Technical Video Systems, 527 E. Chatham St, Cary NC. 800-245-0916. www.techvid.tv. Gary Ballard is the Sales Manager and a good guy.
