I'm shooting a candlelight wedding in Toronto, February 2005 and I want to team up with an experienced wedding videographer. This is a paid shoot and I will be editing the video myself. Owning your own equipment would be ideal, but not necessary.

If you're interested, please send me a brief letter outlining your style and experience. If you have an online demo reel, great, otherwise, we can arrange for a meeting.

I have had someone come to me and ask if I can change my terms, and I have agreed. If you do not live here in Colorado you are more than welcome to rent my XL1. Here are the terms I am willing to deal with. You may rent the camera and associated equipment if you send me a cashiers check or money order for the amount covering the cost of my equipment plus the cost of shipping and the amount of time you are scheduled to use my camera. Personal checks will not work for me.

As far as time frame goes, this offer I am making to rent my camera is not for a limited time only. I will be renting out my camera as long as I can find people who can get some good productive use out of it. I rent out on a first come first serve basis. If you have any other ideas please contact me, I am open to reasonable requests.

Anybody in Cleveland Ohio renting a Panasonic DVX? Let me know of your rates for camera rental. Thanks

Hi, Folks...

As some of you may know, having seen other posts of mine on these boards, I am going to be shooting a feature in April.

Due to the fact that the feature is directly based on a short I've already produced, I will be acting in the movie.

Because of this, I'm finding it EXTREMELY difficult to set up all the technical aspects, while also arranging the rest of the prodcution. (Coordinating rehearsals, rewrites, props, etc., and all the while drumming up interest in the piece from my contacts acquired in over 20 years of screenwriting.)

So, what I'm looking to do is to see if I can find someone willing to come in and shoot the movie for me. I will take care of everything from there, but if I can work out a deal with someone to simply get everything on miniDV, that will allow me much more precious time in trying to tie the production together.

I am planning on a 3-camera shoot, with all 3 cameras stationary on tripods. - I know this sounds bizarre, but once you learn the premise of the movie, you'll understand.

The shoot will be one long day. (Tentatively, Saturday April 9th.)

I will be right up front in letting everyone know that I don't have a ton of money, but I will work out finances with someone to the best of my fiscal ability. Of course, if you're driving in from a distance, I will provide a room for the night at a nice little hotel just off exit 28 of the Thruway. (I live nearby, and the shoot is just 10 minutes up the road in a warehouse in Johnstown, NY.)

I do have a very decent number of industry contacts, most of whom have already agreed to watch the trailer, and a few, the entire production.

I will also give full credit to you under whatever heading you prefer (cinematographer, co-producer, etc.)

Most of all, I'm aiming to have this experience be a lot of FUN for everybody. To me, there's nothing better than making movies, and I like the whole process to be a good time for everyone.

If you're even a little interested, please drop me an email, and I'll explain more, as well as send you a copy of the script and the completed short that will be integrated into the final production.

My email is rusty21@nycap.rr.com

Thanks a lot for reading this lengthy (I told you, my background is in screenwriting... and writers are wordy!) post!

[Rusty Williams]

Oh yea...

I also forgot to add that, if it's something you could use, I will also throw in screenwriting services as part of the exchange.

If your forte is in production, and you're in need of anything scripted, up to and including an entire script of your feature-length premise, I'd be willing to write it for you.

Or, if you have something, and you'd simply like a critique or some help polishing, I would be glad to help out.

Of course, anything I write for you would be yours alone, as part of the return for helping me. I wouldn't require any credits, etc. from the eventual production.

Hello everyone,

I have a DVX100 for rental if anyone is interested.

Most rental companies charge about $250CDN/day for the DVX alone but I'm charging $215CDN/day. If you find a different price, I'll guarantee to beat the price of any rental house.

Comes with 3x 10hr batteries, Pelican case, manual, and charger.

One important note, you must provide equipment insurance for the duration of the rental.

If you are interested or if you know anyone who may be interested, feel free to contact me anytime.

First I have to say good idea I am sure someone will be interested (I have my camera).

What I really want to know is who did your web site and how much did it cost? I am in the market for a new site big time and I really I mean REALLY liked your site. Please let me know and good luck with the renting.

[Keith Loh]

Yes, quite a nice Flash site.

[Norm Li]

Hi,

Thanks for the compliments.

I actually purchased my website from template-monster.com and then I modified the graphics, text, and frames myself.

They have a huge selection of Flash templates.

Good luck!

I'm looking for a DV camera shooter to help me as a 2nd or third camera on some unique wrestling production shoots initially in Queens.If you have a good eye and your price is right this could quite probably lead to steady work and extensive travel including internationally (mostly in and around weekends).
You must have a decent Dv camera preferably a Canon XL-2 or Panasonic DVX100a or Sony PD170.
Editing and/or lighting knowledge is a definite plus. My fax is on the mend so you can respond here or just email me with some info at harborimages@optonline.net or at foxcam5@aol.com thanks-Tom

I am new to this site since I am new to the world of owning a quality DV cam. I must say I already love it! The people so willing to help eachother and the community established here are wonderful to see. I feel like I could accomplish anything with my DV, even if I don't know how to do it... yet.

I am a co-founder of a website that we made in hopes of getting people together (similar to this) with the purpose of making little short films and submitting them for everyone to see. It is www.filmforall.com. Anyone is welcome to join. We post projects each month and anyone who wants can participate and then upload their short onto the website. Users (its free) can vote on their favorite and it will be archived to the website. We would like to see it grow because its something we'd like to share with alot of people, so anyone that is interested, has free time, likes making movies, wants practice etc feel free to join. I hope to see some new members from around the world someday!
