Helping Hands from 2006

Randall Allen · February 3rd, 2006, 12:08 AM

If anyone gets into the NW GA area and needs an extra pair of hands, I'm in Rome.

I worked for over a year, as a web designer and photographer, on these three websites:
http://shop2.mms.com/merchandise/index.asp
http://www.ethelm.com/
http://www.ethelschocolate.com/

I left to do freelance video work.
The most recent site I was paid for was:
http://www.randrvegas.com/

What is your budget. I'm sure I can accommodate your needs.
I can also offer you free hosting for a couple months if you need it.

Brandon T Jackson · February 3rd, 2006, 06:15 AM

Bryan,

That is a nice site you have built. I thought I could fit a couple hundred into my budget to get a website up. It has already taken $1000 more than I had planned on for my equipment, and there are still things more mandatory to buy before I pay for a site. I am going to have to read and figure out how do one myself because I just don't have it to spend. It may look like a microsoft word document but there isn't much I can do about it. Thanks for the offer. I may look you up in six months or so, but for now I will have to throw something simple up myself. Lowell has a few nice sites as well, but like I said I just can't budget it in for now.

Anyone else reading this...I'm no longer in the market.

looking for experienced wedding shooter in NY for April 29, must have two cameras(its a one camera shoot, one for backup), car, wireless mic...

pay rate is $650

send me an email...by clicking on my name

Jon Bickford · February 3rd, 2006, 06:31 PM

Hi all,

I'm posting this here because it is camera specific.

I will be shooting a feature in the very near future in the Los Angeles area, (mainly Long Beach) on an XL-H1 and we are in need of a 2nd unit DP. You would be working with a seperate 2nd unit director doing mostly special effects work. It is a zombie movie with a lot of special effects, old school fangoria stuff so we need a skeleton crew that can spend all day shooting severed hands scurrying up the wall and the like while the 1st unit moves on to other scenes.
There is pay but the budget for 2nd unit is very low so it's minimal. It is the director's 3rd feature and it is also my 3rd feature, first with him. The producers are experienced and the film has already been sold to a well known distributor for wide video release. There would likely be about 8-9 days work for the 2nd unit.
Owning an XL-H1 would be a major bonus but at least some experience with XL2's is required.
I am going to be holding interviews for the position wednesday and friday in Hollywood.
I am also in need of 3 camera operators for a concert dvd being shot on Feb 19 at the Key Club in Hollywood for Relapse Records.
More and more often I have been needing extra camera ops so work would likely be ongoing.
Incidentally the director of the feature is interviewing for PA's and other help on set next week and i'd be curious to meet some skilled gaffers out there for when my regular crew isn't available.

Send me a note to Trephine001@aol.com if interested.
let me know your experience level and what equipment you have worked with/owned if you have a link to any work that would be great but if not a dvd reel would be fine to be watched during our meeting.

Jon: I've removed your duplicate thread. Please do not cross-post - it's against DVinfo policy. Thanks for your cooperation.

Pete Bauer · February 3rd, 2006, 10:26 PM

Jon,
Not to pile on and pick on you, as I understand your desire to put this thread in the XL-H1 forum. But the XL-H1 forum is for posts ABOUT the XL-H1, and your post is ABOUT looking for a "helping hand" so I'm moving it to that forum. It'll get good viz there, no worries.

Jon Bickford · February 3rd, 2006, 11:02 PM

sheesh, seeing as not that many good job offers come around on here i'd think you guys would be happy to see one.

Well, we certainly are Jon. The problem with cross posting is that the conversation gets hard to follow. That's why we make everything flow into one place, and hopefully the best place for desired visibility. Can you imagine what a nightmare it would become if people listed items for sale in several forums as opposed to Private Classifieds? You'd go nuts trying to follow what has and hasn't been sold or had offers on.

Hey, we know your heart was in the right place and thanks again for trying to help out your fellow DV-INFO members with legitimate employment opportunites. I too, would like to see more good job offers show up here.

Cody,

Thanks so much for replying to my post, and letting me know you hade the XL2.

Your service was far beyond what I expected, and Imagined. Your equipment was in immaculate shape, and you adherred to me in any way you could.

To sum it up, It was a real pleasure renting from you, your prices are unbeatable, and I will definitely be back.

Without you I would not have been able to complete my assignment.

Thanks again, I cant say it enough. I will for sure be telling all my friends about Guerilla Rentals.

See you tommorow when I return the XL2, and Mini35.

Cheers and Props
Travis Kleinfelder.

Hey Eric,

I am a college student hoping to go into Cinema or TV, and right now I am taking a Field Productions video class at sierra college. As part of the requirements of the class, I need volunteer hours on a field shoot, so if you need any help I would be happy to assist you. All I would need from you is your signature a paper saying I helped you out for X number of hours. You can email me reafsnyder at hotmail.com

Alden Miller · February 6th, 2006, 10:54 PM

Hey There-
I will be working on a short film in late March/ early April here in Kansas City. The movie requires a one location/ one day shoot. I am looking for anyone in the area that would be interested in helping out either behind or in front of the camera.
I do not have specifics as of yet... it is depending on the exact date/time I can get the location. I just wanted to throw this out and see if there was any response for this here. More specifics to follow.

Thanks
