Re: Hiring person to teach me Indiana/Ohio
 

Bob,
I am in Dayton and may be able to help, but here are a couple of ideas.

1. Is there a technical school in your area. If so see if they have broadcasting or video production. A good way to learn and get started.

2. What about your local Public Access Channel? Many of them have basic classes and people of varying levels of experience. You might be able to find someone to show you the ropes if you help crew one of their productions.

It might save you on some travel.

Looking for work in europe
 

Hey guys, quick story. I'm looking to travel around europe some soon, possibly late september or october. I have friends living in Germany, Denmark, and England I could stay with. The thing I'm trying to figure out now is getting a few shoots/jobs while I'm over to get some money. Thought I'd just see on here if there's anyone in europe who could use a helping hand or has friends who would need a video/photoshoot. My portfolio is at EBourcier Creative

Also interested in anyone who'd let a fellow videographer crash on their floor ;)

Thanks,
Evan

Re: Looking for work in europe
 

Evan, that could be a tough call, on a visitors visa you need time to see the country and not work your time away.

Be better when you get there and hopefully be in the right time at the right place.
I remember my first trip, the best advice I got was to have banked the return fare.
Bon voyage, take care and good luck.

Cheers.

Need to rent a XHA1 Cleveland Ohio
 

I'm looking to rent a Canon XHA1 in Rocky River Ohio for a wedding ceremony on Sept. 22nd.
I will have two of my own there but I would really like a 3rd. for the ceremony.

Re: Need to rent a XHA1 Cleveland Ohio
 

How about an XH-A1s? I live in North Olmsted so I am not far at all from you. Let me know what you are looking to spend.

Re: Need to rent a XHA1 Cleveland Ohio
 

ATSRentals.com
We got two of them for an event in Palm Beach, FL. They shipped on time and were easy to work with. Gear was in good shape and complete except for the built-in shotgun mic holder, which I didn't need.

I think they're in Chicago.

Also, if you want something more official, DODD Camera rents A1's out of their main Cleveland office on Carnegie.

Shooter/Editor, available throughout Mid-Atlantic
 

I've been operating locally and day-tripping for a few years now, and am looking to extend beyond and (hopefully) to bigger projects. Documentary, ENG, corporate, and scientific work forms the bulk of my reel, with clients including Sports Illustrated, Reel Life Films, Discovery Education, JOVE.com, StudioNow, and more. Venturing beyond this style would be a welcomed change.

I own an easily-mobile complete 2-camera package (AF100 + GH2 (hacked)) with lighting, have reliable all-weather trasportation, take directions easily, and by most reports don't suck to be around. For more information about me and links to professional and personal work, visit:

Re: shooter needed in Newark - Sat 8th Sept
 

Just to update anyone who's interested - I had a number of replies but Alex K was close to the action and ready to to the job. Even though we're on different continents in different time zones, things were easily organised and Alex did a terrific job on the day.

Without the forum I wouldn't have known where to start - I trust Chris won't mind a thanks to the DVinfo forum in the final credits of the DVD which will be distributed to people in Australia, the UK, Canada & the US. The proceeds will go to funding research into the little known condition of MSA - Multiple System Atrophy.

Thanks Alex

Philadelphia Area Shooter and audio needed 9/26 and 9/27
 

I need an experienced shooter for doing interviews and general meeting/seminar shooting next week in the northern suburbs of Philadelphia. I will be shooting with an EX-3 (or possibly XF305) directly to a field recorder (PIX 240), so please have a camera of that type available. No tape as everything will be recorded to cards/recorders. We will be shooting classroom settings, interviews outside, and also audience reactions to controlled electrical explosions. I will be lighting interviews with Lite Panels.

Also looking for an audio grip to handle the interviews. I'm using wireless lav mics, but the client is interested in using booms.

Please send me an e-mail with your availability, your day rate, and any details you have.

Thanks!

Looking for international shooters for street interviews
 

Just got a new camera and are looking to make some money? Want a reason to film people on the street?

We are looking for people in ANY country besides America (we have that covered) to ask questions to people on the street and have a short, one to two minute conversation with them. We will provide three question for you to ask three different people, and waivers for the interviewees to sign. Then, send us the raw footage and a scan of the waivers, and we will send you $50 USD. English is preferable, but if the answers are in a different language, we will work out a separate fee for a typed out transcript. Note: this footage will never be publicly available online.

Why do we want this? We are working on a self paced learning curriculum for children, and would like to provide an around the world perspective to how people from different countries view the world.

For instance, a question might be, “What makes someone a hero?” or “What do you think friendship is all about?” They are not particularly hard questions, but we want you to get the person talking for a minute or so by asking simple follow up questions based on how they answer.

This video is for younger children, so please do not use profanity (if interviewee does, we will edit it out), and look for modestly dressed people (no cleavage, bikinis, etc.). You can use any camera, preferably with a shotgun mic attached to it. Payment will be made through Paypal when we receive the footage.

If we like your work, there will be bigger additional paid shooting opportunities in the next year.

Please reply or email veritasvideos1@gmail.com if you are interested. Thanks!

Sony z1
 

Does anyone know where I can rent or buy a battery charger for a Sony Z1 camcorder on the island of Maui?

Thanks,
Mickey Stroud

Re: Sony z1
 

I have 2 on Oahu, you'll probably need to land on Oahu first before going to Maui. When's the gig happening?

Re: Sony z1
 

There's a place called "Lighthaus Camera," may find additional information or locations through a well-placed internet search

Re: Sony z1
 

Thanks, Warren and Kevin.
It always amazes me how quickly the DV Info network of people are quick to help.
Warren, I'm already in Maui and unable to get Oahu. I is a small shoot and I may be able to make it through the last interview with what little battery I have left.
Kevin, I'm going to check out Lighthouse Camera as soon as they open.

Mickey

Re: Sony z1
 

Oops, I didn't realize you were already on Maui and needed it yesterday. Another possibility is this Craigslist ad, he's selling the camera/batts/charger and could let you loan/rent it. I'm quite sure batts for the 2100 and Z1 are the same.

Salt Lake City Tripod needed next week
 

Is there a camera rental place in Salt Lake City that has tripods for rent? I need to borrow or rent a tripod for my XHA1. I'm not getting paid for this gig, so as cheaply as possible. The date of the event is 10/11/12. I'm flying in Tuesday the 9th.

Mesg me through the board if you know of a place, or have a tripod available.

Thanks!

Re: Salt Lake City Tripod needed next week
 

Why not just ship yours to friends there.

Re: Salt Lake City Tripod needed next week
 

The problem is, even though his wedding is in Utah, he has been moved by his company back to Oregon. It's also going to be spendy to ship a big libec two ways.

I tried looking for rental houses in the yellow pages, but kept coming up empty.

Full-time Motion graphics specialist needed..Cinema 4D, AE
 

Hi everyone!
Have run across a job opening I am not qualified for and thought I'd put it out there.
Essentially the company that contacted me needs a senior level motion graphics artist. This is a full time gig with salary. They are looking for full-on 3D compositing and the absolute highest level users of AE and beyond. Cinema 4D and AE were listed in the requirements but an example they showed was done in Flame and Nuke.
If you fit this level of motion graphics artist send me a link to your reel and your contact info and ill forward it to my contact.
Time is of the essence and they are looking to hire soon!

Re: Salt Lake City Tripod needed next week
 

I would let you use one of mine, but they are all booked on the 11th, 12th and 13th.
REDMAN (Home | Redman Movies and Stories) rents tripods locally.

I can make a great, low cost video for you
 

I am in the Los Angeles and Fresno areas. I specialize in commercials, but I will consider any kind of video. I would especially like to do more work for non-profit organizations. I shot, edit, and add graphics to the videos myself, so I am able to keep my rates low.

2nd shooter and sound in Macon, GA
 

Seeking crew members for a 2-day interview-based video shoot in Macon, GA 11/13-11/14/2012

1 HDSLR owner/operator to shoot 2nd for me. Canon DSLR a must, APS-C sensor preferred (though full-frame owners will not be ignored outright). Zooms are a must, with an available range of at least 24-100mm (not necessarily one lens) and aperture of f/4 or wider.

1 sound mixer with equipment. We're shooting double system, so disk-based stereo recorder is a must (though timecode is not necessary). I'm comfortable with candidates suggesting specific packages, though, for reference, all the work so far has been recorded with lav and boom to separate channels.

Also seeking to hire some gear locally - 2x Kino Diva 400 (or similar) with stands, and 1x fluid head tripod. We would LOVE it if one of the 2 crew members we're seeking could provide this service as well.

Please send rates, resumes, and reels to dave@kineticfin.com

PM sent... I need to type at least 10 characters... isn't that silly?

Re: Dallas Freelance Videographer Wanted
 

Mark,
Forgive my confusion. I'm not in the Dallas area, so I'm not applying for the work, but am seeking clarification for others' sake:
You mention shooting "...in a controlled studio environment", yet you seem to be describing an on-location-at-the-law-firm shoot. I don't mean to be picky/rude, but are the interviews held in a studio local to the Dallas area, or at the law firms' office(s)?
Thanks.

Re: Dallas Freelance Videographer Wanted
 

We work with Local TV stations in each market and shoot in their alternate studio. So a shoot in Dallas take place in Dallas. Hope that clarifies.
