Welcome to Canada! You've chosen to live in perhaps the most geographically dense collection of video/video productions/ indie film makers in the country. There are literally dozens of production houses in the GTA area. I would look into

LIFT - Liaison Of Independent Film Makers Of Toronto
1137 Dupont St
Toronto, ON M6H 2A3
(416) 588-6444

Close to you ( in relative terms) and a good starting point.

[Henry Shephard]

thanks very much for the advice wayne. checking out their website now.

If you need footage or second camera in the Dallas area. I'm new to this camera, just got through with my XL-2.

[John Hewat]

Hello all,

I'm working on a documentary in the LA area and we are looking for a Graphic Artist to do some motion graphics for a number of sequences in our project.

We will be dealing with a great deal of WWII footage and images, as well as digital maps (which we need created) and thought I'd look on here to see if there are any around or any that could be recommended.

Regards,
-- John

John:

I can't help you with your quest to find a MGA, other than to refer you to my son-in-law, who can help you. His name is Michael Brodersen and his family owns Foto-Kem in Burbank. Call him at (818) 846-3101 and tell him his daddy-in-law says howdy. Well, okay... you don't have to say "howdy."

Also, I have a friend in Malibu who is a very nice old guy that just happened to be a combat photographer in Europe during WWII. He served with the likes of Stanley Kubrick and Russ Meyer. He went on to produce/direct numerous films for Disney, one of which won an Oscar. If you'd like to hook up with him, email me at mtntvguy@yahoo.com.

Best of luck with your gig!

Charles

Sorry I haven't checked back in a while, I've been busy with pre-production.

I really do appreciate all the input.

Here's what I did to attract actors...

"Money" :-)

The "backend" deal is not very appealing to most actors. The risk is too great for no pay.

I re-allocated funds from "locations, wardrobe, etc" and came up with a cash for the cast.

It's not a lot, but it was enough to get an awesome group. I'm very pleased with the talent.

Since my location fund is almost non-existent, I spent the last month on my hands and knees getting access to some decent locations. I've also requested that we use wardrobe (where we can) from the actors cloths. Everyone has been more than helpful.

So, yes, pay your actors. The answer is money. :-)

[Gary Nattrass]

Sean I will remember that the next time an actor asks me to work on their dream project with the RED camera for nothing!

Why is it that actors and musicians seem to think they have a divine right to payment for their art where technicians and backroom people such as me are expected to work for lo or no pay!

I have a record company contact who needs to cover a recording session in Beijing with the China National Philharmonic Orchestra and Li Yundi.

They do not need a full crew, but someone to discreetly film during the recording sessions. The most important dates are 3rd and 4th July...

Prefer 2 EX cams shot 50i but Z1's PAL would work too...

Anyone from Hong Kong SE Asia, with visa's covered - this is too short notice to fix visas from the UK -

Reputable MAJOR record company - I know all the protaganists personally, including the producer and engineer...

Any bright ideas??

Thanks

Paul

[Paul Newman]

This has now been re scheduled - just too tight timewise with everything...

Thanks anyway

Paul:-)

Minimum 3 years wedding editing experience. Final Cut preferred. Needs to be creative but able to take direction and not take critique personally.
