Helping Hands from 2010

[Charles Papert]

Hi there:

I'm teaching one of my advanced Steadicam workshops in LA on June 7th and 8th. The second day has the students shooting an elaborate "one'r" with their rigs, a scripted scene with four actors. We like to have decent sound on these for playback purposes so we can hear the dialogue cues, as well as for students to have a useable shot for the reels if desired.

We are looking for someone to record sound and transmit to the camera, so it would require a 4-channel mixer and at least 4 wireless mikes (we have one). We shoot the same shot all day. If someone has an interest in Steadicam, it's an opportunity to pick up some tips along the way (the audio demands are not super-intensive).

Pay is $125 for the day with gear. Obviously not much but again, if the Steadicam aspect is of interest, it might be a valuable experience to be a fly on the wall.

Hi everyone, I'm working on putting a DVD together to sell to help raise money for a really good friend of mine. His 11 year old daughter is in desperate need of a liver transplant. I'm looking for a DVD replicator that would be willing to donate some hopefully all of their services to help this wonderful little girl. I'll be needing 1000 DVD copies with case, insert and all. If anyone knows a replicator that might be willing to help out please let me know.

Thanks,
Joe Thatcher

Don't know if anyone would be interested but here's a link to a website that has more info on the girl in need of the transplant and different ways people can help.

I have yet to find a replicator so I'm still looking and hoping I can find someone willing to donate their services. I don't know for sure but I believe it would be tax deductible for the replicator if one decides to help us out.

Thanks,
Joe

I would really like to help, but 1000 discs is a decent sized production run. I would be able to give you a very significant discount, but I wouldn't be able to do the job on a strictly volunteer basis.

You can get me contact information on my website at JAKKmedia.com if your at all interested.

K&M, HWC in NYC are both out, they're the only places I can find that rent the Kessler cineslider.

Need one ASAP for a Monday May 24th shoot.

Let me know if you know of a rental, or if you have one to rent.

Thanks
Nathaniel

[Joe Thatcher]

Thanks Adam I sent you an email to your business address.

I am currently budgeting a short film for a client. For this film I will need specific footage from all around the globe, mostly from large metropolitan centres.
Instead of travelling around the globe I thought maybe there are enough people here that could shoot this stuff in HD 1080i and send it to me. I would provide a briefing and require an Mpeg1 clip of the aquired footage before the purchase transaction could take place (I guess - haven't really thought this through - procedural suggestions welcome)

Locations that I am looking for footage from include:
Beijing / Hong Kong / New York / Sao Paolo / Sydney / Dubai or Bahrain / London / Singapore / ect....

From each of these I would need some signature shots of urban landmarks, shots of urban mobility and some specific installations, most of which are publicly accessible.

certain locations would need local contacts for access permits, these would be provided.

At this point it is just an idea, let me know what you think. If you are in any of these places (or similar metropolitan cities) drop me a mail and let me know how much you would charge. Shooting can be done in a day or less in each destination. (one full day is how long I would spend shooting in each city if I travel myself.)

Oliver;

I have several clips of Washington DC landmarks (day and night) in 1080 DVCPRO that a guy hired me for and then disappeared off the face of the earth. Yours if you can use them.

[Thane Silliker]

I could shoot some footage in Toronto and/or Detroit. I live nearby. I own the AG-HPX170 which shoots DVCPRO HD codec.

I can shoot the Philly Art Museum steps.... because THAT'S never been put into a film before. (j/k, Rocky)
