Rental House Recommendations for Atlanta
 

Hi All,
I hope this is the right place to ask. I have a shoot coming up in Atlanta and will be travelling with a minimum of gear (camera, sticks, tape stock, etc.) What I will need to rent is an ARRI light kit (150x2, 350, 650, 1000 which presumably includes scrims, gels, lightbox, etc). Just looking for a reliable place to rent from as I have no experience with any vendors in the ATL area. Many thanks in advance!

Thanks, Rick!

looking to rent gear - LAs Vegas
 

I need to rent a tripod, maybe two for a quick wedding in vegas. Afterwards, might do some scenic
local stuff with the bride and groom. It would be easier to rent vs ship stuff ups.

Hi Scott, try Abel CineTech, our sponsor in L.A. -- see this page:

Looking for a videographer in/near Ames, IA.
 

I'm looking to avoid 12 hours of travel (and the client is looking to avoid paying for 12 hours of travel!) Easy shoot but you must have HD camera, decent audio and lighting. No editing - just shooting.

email chris@famousdavispro.com

Thanks!

Got my shooters, need someone to man some DSLRs and help wrangle cords.

Or you could hire a light guy in Atlanta that has the equipment. Most light guys have that kit. If not you can try the following places.

PC&E
Day 1 Productions
North Druid AV

8mm or 16mm Film to Digital Transfer in Charlotte, NC
 

I have Googled like crazy and have had no luck yet.

I have relatives in Charlotte, NC who have some old home movie films that I need to get transferred to digital video -- not DVD, I want the digital files on hard drives -- for a family documentary project.

Do you know anyone who does this kind of transfer in Charlotte? My aunt is leery of letting the films out of her sight so I'm pressed to keep this job local to her area.

I will check this thread for replies but you can also contact me directly at johnmcq@hotmail.com.

That's pretty specialized work, and I think it's going to be very hard to find someone local to do that.

These guys may be worth a shot:

About - The Film Foundry

If I'm not mistaken, these are the same people who used to do business as Post Central and I remember them having a telecine and doing 35mm transfers. If they can't do it, they may be able to at least point you somewhere else.

Good luck! If you happen to talk to a guy named Rick Eldridge there, tell him I said hello... :P

Our consumer half of the company does 8mm and 16mm film transfer. Digital frame-by-frame transfer. We're in Atlanta but have people send us stuff from all over the country. All work is done in house and we keep a backup copy "just in case" but we've never had one lost. We've been doing film transfer now for over 5 years. Give us a call at 877-VIDEO60 or check out our website at Georgia Videographer, Video Production in Atlanta, Videography

Thanks,
Rick

Try Cinepost - High quality telecine, 8mm film and 16mm film transfer, DVD authoring design and Surround Sound Mixing. This is the website for a Georgia based S8 transfer house called CinePost that I've used in the past. They can do DV transfers with hard drive backups.

Thank you for the replies.

I don't think I'm going to be able to get the films sent away from Charlotte. If I could, there are companies local to me who do transfers, which is why I am surprised to have trouble finding someone in the Queen City who does it.

SACRAMENTO: Need second shooter for a wedding May 15th
 

The wedding is in Stockton. I live in Citrus Heights and we can travel together. My wife has been my second shooter, but she won't be able to attend. I need someone with experience.

Including travel, count on an 8 hour day.

The Pay is $250

If you want to use your own camera, it must be a 3 chip camera. I shoot SD on mini DV so yours must be compatible. If you use your own camera with a light, the Pay will be $300 instead of $250

Please include references.

Tim,

Did you get my email? Haven't heard back, just wanted to confirm.

Yes, thanks! I sent you a reply earlier today.

Create-a-Video in Charlotte does transfers. I had a bunch of 16 mm transferred to DVD.
Create A Video

Rob, thank you.

Are you happy with the results? How do the DVDs look?

John, I was happy with it. It's old film and I'm not sure how well it was taken care of. With that said, I was happy to have it on DVD and the people viewing it were happy as well.

San Diego Rental house recommendation
 

Hi,

I usually shoot locally in LA and rented from Wooden Nickel for lighting/grip equipment.

I'll looking for a rental facility in San Diego that has the same rental policy. Where you can pay an addition percentage for insurance, preferably. If we have to get insurance separately...then where is a facility that has as much array of equipment as wooden nickel.

thanks

B-cam Canon DSLR shooter in Atlanta 5-22-10
 

I need a second 5Dmk2 or 7D shooter for a triathlon at Reynolds Plantation this May 22. The actual shoot starts at 7AM and goes through 12 noon. We'll need to be there at 6AM. (I know, I hate early mornings too!)

Sorry but I need experienced sports shooters with a variety of lenses. Don't need a full demo reel but at least have some good footage you can show me. Pay is $300.

rick (at) jonescovideo (dot) com

depending on the shoot dates I can probably help you out.

-Jon

Don't need audio coverage do you?


Nicole
ccproductions803@gmail.com

Sorry, no. Will be using Zoom H4n for a few interviews. Otherwise just external shotgun mic fed straight into camera. Most footage is to be used as a highlight reel so not much sound is needed. Mostly music.

Found. Forgot to update the thread but film has been progressing the past few months with my little team

If interested send me a link to reel, equipment and rates: sac_189@yahoo.com

Long Term Editing Job Available - Billiards Related
 

I'm the owner of a small billiard-based production company. I founded the company only 18 months ago, working by myself to produce instructional and action bases DVD titles. Trailers for these titles can be found here:

Venom Trickshots DVDs
Mastering Pool DVDs

Within this 18 month period, my little company gained significant repute and is now recognized as the industry leader in video production. My DVDs are currently the top selling titles for this particular niche market, selling in over 60 countries.

I've taken all my earnings and have sunk them back into the company, purchasing all my own equipment and saving up to fund a new project. I've also commissioned a sales/marketing guy and a camera operator to help me with this new idea, however I'm still short a PC-based video editor.

I'm looking for someone who has time to invest, loves billiards, and has talent when it comes to editing. The project is a bi-monthly video magazine. We're filming 2 issues before it goes public, so this means that we're looking at 3-4 months of contract work before the money starts coming in. After that things become more regular.

Here's the catch. My whole team is working on a very limited budget to get this project off the ground. Since we're low on cash, each person receives a percentage of sales once the project hits the market. I realize that in the world of independent production, this is a terrible proposition, as most projects don't make money. However these circumstances are drastically different as I produce sports content with a proven track record.

Anyway, if you're interested, please PM me with your demo reel as well as your background info. I'll be happy to discuss the details of the project with anyone who messages me with a serious inquiry.

Thanks,

- Nathan DuMoulin

As a billiards enthusiast, I'm familar with Nathan's work. It's quite good.

Bergen Cnty NJ or Monticello NY help needed.
 

I'm in Fort Lauderdale, and will be comming up shortly. I need help for a one day shoot up near Monticello.

I need someone with the following gear, if possible:
Light kit
Jib
Trpod(s)
Camera (?)

The jib isn't crucial but would be nice.

You can email me at

Congrats
 

Good for you....
Although the best years of my life, and early employment was spent at the snooker hall, i've currently got a full time job that would probably conflict with your needs.
If you're ever in the Hamilton area, and need a second cam, give me a shout. The editing seems standard issue, but unfortunatlely, i can't commit to a full time basis...

Good luck, and congratulations..

Sony EX shooter needed in Sunnyvale/San Jose
 

Possible day shoot within the next two weeks requiring an EXx, tripod, lav mic, interview lighting and a good eye ;-). Besides the single-setup interview(s), a fair number of hardware cutaways will be needed (90% ambient light). Jib would be a bonus for select accent shots, but not required. Crew of one preferred (a company rep will be at your service for the day for logistical and grunt work). Any interest or suggestions? Link to demo reel appreciated.

Thanks!
Bill

Thanks, James.
See you next wednesday.
Bruce Yarock

I would be willing to commit of a full time basis.
