It depends on what sort of skills and experience you need, how much other equipment you're expecting the camera gal or guy to supply, where you're located, and more.

But in Madison, seems like you can get very good people for around $650/day including camera. Maybe $500/day without. These aren't exact rates, but they are ballpark. If Bruce Johnson's on this board, he could provide specifics.

You can pay less, too. And you'd probably still end up with good footage...probably.

4312 Productions looking for writers
 

Hello everyone,

4312 Productions is looking for great short stories from writers, preferably in the Washington, D.C area. We're looking for humorous subjects, with edgy themes, that can be shot in a few locations.

Send us your resume and filmography at film@anthonyfaust.com. Check out our website at www.4312productions.com. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Ouch, that's a lot for my project, but I guess reasonable for a skilled pro.

I can rent one for $125 for 3 days. I might do that unless I can find someone to do it for a 1 day 5 hour shoot for $50-75.

This would be for a short film (4-5 minutes). All Tripod shots.

If anyone is interested shoot me an email.

It would be unreasonable to expect someone to loan you their expensive camera for free and come along to operate it for only $10 per hour.

I'm hoping to find someone looking to get some experience & footage for their demo reel.

I will most likely end up renting the camera since I'm a capable DP as it is.

Taxi Drivers do this all the time :)

Ah, a perfect straightline for my favorite aphorism:

Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.

So if you want someone to get some experience, be ready for some bad judgement on their part...


Might be the best option.

Yes...I agree Jim.

Hey Jed...did you use to go to UW-Milwaukee? If you did, are you the guy with the skateboard?

..it felt nostalgic even if not...

Not a UW Milwaukee alum - (went to Furman U in South Carolina).


Never been on a skateboard in my life either, they scare me.

If your buddy is still interested...
 

Get in touch with me. I have recently gotten my site up and off the ground but I feel as though I'm being overcharged for what I have gotten.

If your buddy is still interested in doing some work, I would like to have him rework my site a bit.

New York Gaffer Needed
 

Hey Guys,

I'm in need of a gaffer. I don't have any money for the position, this is a non-paying gig, but food and trans and copy of the film and credit will be provided. It's a short comedy shooting on Long Island on the 6,7,8 of January.

You can check out some of my other productions here: www.meydenbauerentertainment.com to see the kind of work I put out.

Students welcome, however, you must have some technical knowledge of lighting equipment and hopefully have a good, creative eye.

You can send emails to mtt@meydenbauerentertainment.com and I can send you a copy of the script to interest you further.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Josh

Alecks,
Just saw your post.
I am a local filmmaker in KC and have all of the equipment necessary. If you havn't already started this project I'd be interested in hearing about it. If you've already finished at least I've met another filmmaker from KC. BTW, have you been to the Independent filmmakers coalition here? I will be checking it out as soon as I have time.
