Animal footage wanted
 

WARNING!!!!

I previously posted the request based on what I thought was an actual job for a Zoologist in London. I actually went out and shot footage before finding out it was a scam!!! Please don't associate me with the scam. I am leaving this here as a warning to others. If you receive an email about shooting animals for a zoologist in London, take my word for it, don't do it. But this has got me thinking more about sharing footage with fellow videographers across the country or globe. There's got to be a way to do it.

Have camera, multiple lenses, slider, etc. and willing to travel for cheap. :-)
 

Kathleen,

I have never been to Scotland and it sounds like an interesting project. If you need a DP and cannot find one locally, fly me in from the states and I can deliver what you need.

get on that plane!
 

hello Chris, happy to pay flights, accomodation, your wages as well as a generous daily allowance as long as you get here now!

I am still looking for a camera person if anyone is interested and local (by local I mean in Scotland!) cheers kathleen

Wedding shooter in Barcelona Spain wanted.
 

I'm going to be in Barcelona for a friend's daughter's wedding on Sept 11. I was going to shoot some of the wedding myself as a gift (We do events, commercials, etc. in South Florida), but am now thinking about letting someone else do it. We would do the editing back here.

This would be a man man shoot with lots of interviews. We shoot with canon H1, a1's and 2 7d's. You need a wireless, and a hand held wireless plus an on cam light.Let me know what gear you have and any links to your work. I'll probably bring a few piueces of gear along myslf.

Let me know if anyone is aound for that date. You can email me with your phone number and i'll call you. I'm fluent in Spanish and a little Catalan.

Need Feedback from my fellow DVinfo people
 

I need help in selecting talent for an upcoming project.

It's a simple matter of looking at photos and a video of each of the 7 finalists and then choosing your single favorite and entering that into the poll on the webpage.

I could also use some FEMALE feedback as well, so if you know anyone from the "fairer" sex who'd be willing to share a woman's perspective that would be very helpful.

Once I get at least 50 people to respond I'll send out a link in email to the webpages setup specifically for this purpose.

Thanks to all who choose to help.

Do you have an estimated time commitment required to view the videos? IOW, or they shorts, or are they longer form features or documentaries?

-Jon

The vids are of the auditioneers (is that even a word?) reading a very short script which lasts no more than a 2 mins. Well, technically the script would have been no more than 45 seconds but because all of the women who were tested do not have on-camera experience they all took longer - and did multiple reads so they could get comfortable with the process.

It shouldn't take but 5 minutes or so for the average person to look at the pics and vids and get a gut-level reaction - which is exactly what I'm looking for as feedback. I don't need a thorough, critical review of their performance, just an instinctive "This one did the best..." type of response.

You can tell within seconds if someone is appealing to you - or not - on whatever level is important to you, so that's all that I need.

Cool deal. I'm game if you still need folks. I'll send you an email.

-Jon

I'm in. Sounds like fun to me.

Need experienced greenscreen studio/freelancer near Dublin, OH
 

Greenscreen setup Near Dublin, OH

My client has a couple of talking head interviews to videotape. They need to be done waist-up on a greenscreen with a teleprompter. Lav mic is ok. If you have a shotgun on a boom stand, run that as the second channel.
Prefer 1080 30p but can take 720 60p or 30p.
Also prefer that files be delivered on hard drive rather than tape. I edit on FCP so ProRes would be ideal. I will take care of keying.

These will be intercut with shoots I did here using an HMC-150 so that's the baseline.
We used three lights on talent (backlight, fill, and main)

If you have access to a pro studio or can rent one, that would be preferred as these are not actors but business owners.

Contact me at rob@yipdogstudios.com or through the dvinfo mail for more details.

Shoot will need to happen in the next couple of weeks so contact me as soon as possible.
Thanks!

This forum ROCKS!
got someone booked...thanks for the views.

Jobs for videographer/editor in Boulder, CO area?
 

Hi,

I'm Tristan Howard, I have years of video production experience, I'm a college graduate, I recently moved to Boulder, and I'm seeking work. Feel free to let me know if any local jobs are available in the next few months. My résumé (Tristan Howard Productions - Résumé) and many samples of my work can be found on my website (Tristan Howard Productions). I can start work this month, but I plan on attending graduate school in fall 2011, so I'll likely only be available for about a year.

My main experience is in shooting and editing natural history documentaries, my work has been broadcast on local PBS stations, and I'm well-equipped to capture professional HDV wildlife and scenery footage.

Thanks,
Tristan

Video Shooter in Buffalo
 

Sharon Abreu, executive director of Irthlingz, is doing a presentation at an environmental educators conference in Buffalo on Thursday, Sept. 30 from 11:00 to 11:45 am. We would like to get footage of the event which we would edit, preferably shot on an HVX-200, to match other footage we have. We would only need the raw footage, and we could provide P2 cards to record to. We would need a fairly low-budget solution, probably just one person shooting in available lighting.

There is an excellent chance that others at this three-day conference would like video as well, so this could well expand to an all-day job, or even a two- or three-day job. Probably others would want edited footage, possibly with logos added, etc.

If interested, please send a quote to quotes(at)hurwicz.com

Thanks,
Michael Hurwicz

a little late, but....
 

I'm coming to Scotland in mid November, staying about 30km southeast of Edinburgh for a week. Taking a mini-kit of a 550D and HVS200 and basic accessories and just plan on personal shooting of my trip. If you need b-roll help in exchange for a tour of area pubs... :)

Need an Anton Bauer battery CONDITIONING charger in Vancouver, BC for a day!
 

Hi folks. I have 2 AB Dionic 90 lith-ion batteries that aren't behaving themselves. I have been charging for 2+ years on Tandem 70 charger/power supplies and was hoping that someone in the Greater Vancouver Area might be willing to throw them on a diagnostic/conditioning charger so I can find out if they can be conditioned back to acceptable or whether they are "done".

Karma, pay or service trade are all acceptable.

Number of charge cycles should not be even close to end of life on these two batteries.

Thanks.

You can also email me directly at:
shaun(at)gearheadvisual(dot)com

Shaun.
If no one here has what you're looking for, you might try Lorne Lapham Sales & Rentals in North Burnaby. I bought my A/B system from them (Titan Twin / Propac / Trimpacs). Very helpful staff. I believe they rent out A/B batteries with their camera rental kits, so they might have what you need.

Keith

Thanks Keith. I have friends/colleagues that deal with them a lot too so perhaps I'll give them a call. Cheers!

Shaun --- One of my TrimPacs isn't holding a charge anymore, and last year I replaced the ProPac with a new Hytron.. I'm OK with getting new ones as they were 5 years old, but do you think it's worthwhile trying to rcondition those old batteries? (I haven't even considered getting them re-celled) Would like to hear how you do with getting yours back into shape.

Los Angeles 9/27 - need PA with interview light kit
 

I need a PA who owns or has access to a small 3-4 light ARRI kit or similar for a half/day shoot in Brentwood area from 8A-12noon. Basic 1 camera interview setup so any small 3-4 light kit will work; also minimal assistance duties.

This is for this coming Monday 9/27, so please hit me ASAP with rates, gear info, etc.

If a PA owned a light kit and knew how to use it wouldn't it make them a Gaffer ?
