Djee Smit · July 13th, 2006, 01:13 PM

everybody thanks for the reactions. At this point we have to wait for a reaction of the company who we are doing this for to see how things wil go. And we are also already talking with a company from LA, but we certainly keep y'all in mind if things might change. You are all a great help. Thanks

We are looking for the following sorts of locations for our project:

A cubicle farm, or call center with mini-cubes. The more unpleasant the better, but any will do.

A small rustic cottage, the more medeival looking the better, the more secluded the better.

Interior rooms that could be used as castle dungeons, a large room fore the throneroom of a castle, and intervening corridoors and staircases.

If anyone has access to these sorts of locations (Free!) please let us know!

Bill Rankin · July 18th, 2006, 05:21 PM

I am available in the Houston area to assist as second or third camera in weddings or any other events. Experienced.

Equipment: DSR 390, wireless mike (senn.)

Lori Starfelt · July 18th, 2006, 09:38 PM

We're shooting a show this weekend in Northridge and need a third camera for Saturday night (call time is 5pm) and Sunday afternoon. We're hoping to find someone who will allow us to use their camera in exchange for our editing services. You'd have your camera back either Sunday night or Monday morning - your choice. Your services as a videographer would not be required, but if you wanted to join us - you'd be welcome.

Here's Brad's editing resume:

Demo reel:
http://www.bradmays.com/BradMaysDemoReel.mov

Brad would be happy to cut either a demo reel or even a short for someone. He normally charges $400 for a reel and rarely under $1500 for a short, so it's a good deal for someone who has footage sitting around. If you'd like to make a counter offer, please do.

If you're a beginner videographer who is thinking about doing this, in addition to getting a reel out of it, if you stay around and shoot with us, you'd get an IMDb credit as camera person and a screen credit on a documentary that will likely be broadcast.

Thanks.

I live in MD and can't help you with the locations but--

I visited your website and noticed that you might intend to print your finished movie to film. I thought I might warn you, after reading of your budget woes, that depending on the length of the film, a film print will cost you thousands of dollars, is extremely time-consuming (you must go through your movie scene-by-scene with a colorist) and is generally useless unless you intend to generate revenue (assumedly enough to pay back the price of the film print) at a local theater (which depending on your location can be very difficult and expensive to rent out).

Just a heads up.

Steve Oakley · July 21st, 2006, 10:12 PM

I've been shooting for 20 years, around the world. NY, LA, Vegas, Caribbean, Europe, big cities / venues (MSG, Lincoln Center, Nassau Coliseum, Cesar’s Palace, ect) and the middle of nowhere without running water or power for weeks at a time. 35mm, 16mm, HDcam, DVCpro HD, digibeta, betaSP, DV, just about every format out there. Multicam, single cam, worked as a LD in a TV station in NY for 3 years, won several awards for lighting at that job.

My current camera package is the JVC HD100 (HD or SD 30/25/24fps 4:3 16:9) with 2 channels of wireless, AB battery system I can run for 12hrs without a charge, tripod, lighting package of 5-10 lights, assorted grip gear, gels & expendables, ladder, full size van. I prefer to work in the central WI area - Wausau, Madison, Appleton, Green Bay but Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Chicago are fine too. No mileage charge within 4 hrs of Wausau. Email for rates and availability. Online reel or DVD mailed.

Also 17" PB with FCP available for location editing, full studio editing facility also available.

Alex Butterfield · July 22nd, 2006, 08:20 AM

I've just graduated university in the UK with a 1st in film and media and I'm looking for work with a production company.

I'm happy to start making tea as long as I can work my way up in the project development side of a production company.

Does anyone know of any publications that will advertise job opportunities in this field?

Thank you

Alex Butterfield

Heath Vinyard · July 22nd, 2006, 03:02 PM

Hey all.
I'm looking for advice for an upcoming short that I'm doing. I'm hoping there's a no budget/no insurance set I can rent for 2 days. Most set rental requires 1M worth of insurance, which seems to be about $2700. Does anyone know of a place up in/around LA that maybe pads the insurance cost in the bill, like when renting lighting equip?

I'm specifically looking for a hospital and motel set.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
