In Asian countries it's very difficult to much else other than teach English if you don't speak the language. You might try teaching English part-time while looking around for work and freelancing when you can.

Making a film in Sonoma Co., CA, need help
 

Hello, everyone

I'm getting ready to shoot a feature length comedy/horror film in Santa Rosa, California. I'll be using a GL2 to shoot it. I have my own funding and all the necessary props/locations, but need help in the casting and organizing departments. After that, it'd be someone to help direct or run the cameras. If you love "B" horror films and you're addicted to filmmaking, you'll love this project. Friends have told me it's an easy cult classic. Lots of fun. Anyone's welcome to get involved, but it's probably best if you live right here in Sonoma County, and preferably Santa Rosa. Drop me a message if you're interested.

Media Folks Needed
 

Hi Y'all! ...Well thanks in LARGE part to DVInfo.net our business in going gang busters. FAT CAT MEDIA in Raleigh has taken off much faster than in of us were prepared for. So I need crew for several jobs coming up.

We will gladly hire you and your gear together as a package (preferred) since you know your gear better than anyone. Here is what we need...

VIDEO EDITORS (Mac preferred but PC's OK. We use "iMovie" and "Final Cut Express")

LIGHTING TECH'S preferred with your own package-will rent your gear

PRODUCTION ASSISTANTS: any kind of general production experience is great!

Keith , have you started any shooting yet? Just checking in on your project. Just looking for any news on your production.

Timothy- I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet, but I'm still in that "Hurry up and wait" phase myself. I still have a long list that needs to be taken care of-

1) Legal type advice to keep me from being sued
2) Locations secured... I have one down, a few more left
3) Insurance and permits
4) Costumes
5) Props
6) Talent... I have one interested, 15 vacancies
7) Crew and equipment... Again, I have one interested, still need audio, lighting, etc. I have a GL1 and some wireless lavs, and a shotgun... I need more than that.

As you can see, I have a plate full of stuff to do, and only a little bit is finished... Aside from the rough draft. Still awaiting the thumbs up.

I hear ya! Lots of little details to deal with, nothing is simple. You have a glidecam and PDX 10 if you ask for it.

I will ;)

I'm sure you would rather a professional model for your project, but have you looked into building one of these "Poor Mans Steady-cams" out there?

I built this one ( at http://www.student.virginia.edu/~fms-uva/steadycam/ ) and am surprised how well it works every time I use it.

Simple, cheap ($10-$14) , easy to make (15 minutes), and very effective.

Helping Hands from 2005
 

My buddy and I have been doing Still photography and video in the martial arts industry for years and we want to expand our horizons. We are a small outfit but capable of full still photo output as well as end user DVD output on Video. We are not able to output to film. If there are any lower budget opportunities in the Atlanta area please email me, or high end productions that want some guys that are willing and ready to learn more. We are hard working professionals that have fallen in Love with this disease!

With all the new faces showing up every day, I thought I would refresh this thread. I am still looking for assistance with this project. Anybody with lighting or audio (experience and or equipment), would be much appreciated. Looking at starting in the early spring- March or maybe sooner.
