The only "big" production business I know of in the Palmer/Wasilla area is a place called DotConn Productions. Not sure if they rent gear though.

If you have the time, it would be well worth the effort to contact a couple places in Anchorage such as Talking Circle Media or IMIG Audio/Video. I know they rent out gear. I'd call Talking Circle First, because I've dealt with those guys before, and they're pretty cool. IMIG would be my second choice because they come off as being somewhat aloof and kind of cocky.

Anchorage isn't THAT far from Palmer, but it will take some time if you try going during rush hour. Otherwise, it's a 45-60 minute jaunt. In Alaskan terms, that's next door.

I spoke with Talking Circle and they don't have anything.

I ended up renting one from Bexel in Burbank and I'll pick it up in SEA on my way through.

Thanks for all your replies.

I can't believe that no one mentioned Connections. Jerry is a great guy....

Need shooters for 2/19 and 2/20 near Atlanta, GA
 

Looking for shooters, send me a message if you're in the area and available this weekend. Thanks!

It would help if you indicated the rate you're willing to pay
-- just to let folks know that you're not fishing for freebies.

Are you telling me I could get people to work for free? Nice...I'll keep that in mind next time :)

In all seriousness, the pay is variable, but between $25 and $45 hourly (depending upon experience).

Nothing very demanding, pretty much working of a tripod. More details provided to serious contacts.

Looking for a camera(wo)man from NYC
 

We are planning some interviews in New York between 10 and 14th may.

It should be shot on XDcamHD ProDisk 50i.

Anyone available?

Please email me. eelco(at)picturethis.tv

It's a good idea to indicate how much you're willing to pay.

I can be in the area. bradley at oldsouth media group dot com

Thanks

When was it shooting? I can be there if it is still open. Email me bradley at old south media group dot com

Thanks

Although, I don't think I have enough experience to do this task for you, I'd love to help out in an on set capacity if the opportunity ever presents itself.

I'm in North Alabama, shoot me a pm with the info...Thanks

Sorry for not paying attention to this thread. I've forwarded the info I had to a couple of members who've contacted me already, so I'm leaving it at that for now.

Jason, lots of good oportunities for you to shoot...
*Get the seaplanes landing on Lake Union with the Space Needle and Mount Ranier (If it's out) in the BG. It'll remind people of all the shots in Vancouver that they are now showing on the Olympics. (Even tho Vancouver is actually just copying Seattle with our seaplanes!!!)
* You need to get shots of the Ferries. Plenty of good spots from Alki, Edmonds and other spots. Anything on the Seattle side is great because of great views with the Olympics (Mountains, not the sporting event) in the BG.
*Get Husky Stadium and the UW...
*And of course, what Seattle shots would be complete without the Pike Place Market and the Space Needle.

Have a great time out here. We are in the middle of probably our warmest winter in decades, with sunny days and cold nights.

Bill

Heath, if you're still looking to shoot, the Martin County Fair is right around the corner and not a far drive from Plantation.

Welcome to Martin County Fair one of the largest family events on the Treasure Coast of Florida held each year at the Martin County Fairgrounds in Stuart

Looks like I missed it, unfortunately. Did you shoot any video?

Thanks,

Heath

I have some 720p 24fps and 60 fps footage of a carnival in Arizona.

I received some responses already but I want to be in contact with as many shooters as possible. I'm going to add some cameras so if you have one of those, please contact me and theirs a chance that you may get a gig in the future.

JVC HM700
Sony NX5
Sony EX1R
Panasonic GH1
Canon HF S21
Panasonic TM700/HS700
Canon MPEG2 422 cam
I understand some of these aren't out yet.

I might even include people with either a 7D or a T2i but the chances are less because if I'm shooting a band for example, I want each camera to be recording for around 1 hour straight even if only 2 or 3 songs will get used for the video. Something to remember is that their a slight chance of heating issues if I want everything to be in 720 60p.

For people with either a GH1, 7D or T2i, tell me what type of lenses you have.

Make sure you have your own memory.

W. Palm Gardens, Florida : Glidecam Op.

SAVILLE ROW - Hard To Let Go

ECard

YouTube - I Shine: Ol Green Eyes Video

Oh shucks, I thought it was the first week of March. No, I was in Atlanta this past week.

Ken,

I'm confused on the location. I'm not familiar with West Palm Gardens. There is West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens, about 15 miles apart. I'm just North of there.

I've got no glidecam experience but if you need another body to hold something still maybe give me a shout.

Good catch David ... I accidentally merged the two locations. I'll be visiting in the Palm Beach Gardens area.

Am wanting to help anyone within a 30 mi. circle of PBG if they could use a Glide shot at no charge for any project or gig they're planning during the week of March 7th.

Couple reasons, it gives me a chance to meet some fellow Videographers from the DV info forum and if truth be told I experience withdrawal symptoms if am not flyin' a camera for more than 3 days.

thanks again,

- KC

Paul,

Do you have it online somewhere that I can look at it?

Thanks,

Heath

Audio Engineer for Playboy Shoot, Mar 15ish
 

Talk about a good gig...

Our team is doing a series of segments for Playboy TV.

First one is filming east of Temecula in the desert on or about Mar 15th.

We need a sound engineer. Single mic, boom and working of your magic.

There is pay, but it's not big budget by any means.

One day shooting for this segment, then 4 weeks until full production starts.

Yes, there is nudity, but no porn. I need someone reliable, local to Orange COunty or Sand Diego who can do a full day of recording with no babysitting involved.

If you're good, you'll be our sound guy on all of our LA based shoots. (I'd invite this person to our Vegas shoot the week after, but we don't have budget to transport LA crew to Vegas...so we're pulling locally).

Email me at craiglieberman42@gmail.com if you're interested.

Wedding Video Assistant- NYC
 

Hi there,
Im new to the wedding industry and I have a wedding coming up on April 02, 2010. FYI its a Friday. I may need an additional shooter. I need someone with a HD camera like the Ex1 or 5DMKII. If your familiar with the glidecam and/or glidetrack that is a plus. This equipment will be on the "set."
If you have done weddings before that is also a bigger plus. Weddings can be a bit overwhelming. You have to understand that very seldom you get to take a second shot. Everything is filmed in real time.
The day should be a 10 to 11 hour day. It is being filmed in Lower-Manhattan. If your interested please dont hesitate to contact me @ redreelprod@aim.com

Thanks,
Tom

I'm no where in the area or a sound engineer, but man that is a dream gig.

HVX Owner need, Playboy TV shoot in desert
 

Just got word that one of my guys is booked elsewhere.

Need someone who owns an HVX200 or HPX170 to come shoot with us in Glamis early next week.

Pay is $400, all included. There are no ups for travel, fuel, or anything else. Budgets are tight!

We're filming four nude girls in a location about 2 hours east of San Diego.

You should have your own camera, lav, and a way to dump footage.

Call time is 10AM, wrap time is 5PM.

Unlike some who say 'this will lead to more work,' this gig actually will. We're filming several episodes for this Playboy TV program.

Need a professional who can keep his tongue inside his mouth and focus on the work.

Email me with your reel/link/samples to craiglieberman42@gmail.com

Position filled, thanks anyway!

Need Voiceover Sample
 

I am working on a corporate project and need a one-line sample piece. Will not be included in the final product, but you may be asked to do voiceover work for the final product at a paid rate. Please email me at royermedia@mac.com and I can give you the sentence to record. Would much appreciate the help. Thank you.

Looking to rent a GH1/GF1 for Friday (3/12) in Columbus, OH
 

I'm going to shoot a band performing on Friday night for a wedding showcase and would like to rent a GF1 or GH1. I own a GF1 along with a 14-140mm, 7-14mm & 20mm so what I'm looking for is another body so the formats and images match. I did something simular last weekend using different cameras and although it worked the color and image variances from each camera was somewhat distracting. This is not a pro shoot but I think having multiple cameras that match will really help the quality of the finished prodect.

If you want to come along and shoot with us I'm game for that as well. I'm happy to pay for the use of the camera or reciprocate by offering my gear to you for one of your projects in the future.

If you are interested give me a call or shoot me an email.

Thanks,
Paul Hoy
