I just checked MediaHalo - it is all Craigslist posting or Craigslist type "do it for free for me" listings!

I guess the nightmare continues...

you missed the part where it's not ready yet, that's the years old site which will be replaced in about 10 days, and it was in response to the OP looking for crew

I'm a shooter/ producer in Fort Lauderdale, and a client of mine is doing an hour presentation in Orlando on Friday the 23rd. They don't want to pay me to go up, so I told them I'd look for someone to shoot, and wed edit. You'd need camera and a wireless lav.
I shoot with a sony FS100 and and nx5u, and we're used to working with those avchd clips, but open to any similar camera.
If amyone is interested, please pm me at

Thanks

You might also want to try LinkedIn. There you may even find that others you know can recommend cam ops, or provide other feedback.
Other possibilities include some of the freelance sites like guru, odesk, and there are likely others.

The only other thing I'd suggest is if you're looking for a cam op, know that what you're asking for is someone who knows how to use their/a camera, i.e. how to focus, pan, and zoom smoothly, how to white balance, and what settings to use for your purpose. That implies you know what you want shot.
If you don't know and don't have a shot list, storyboard, or other guide about what is to be shot, and haven't written a script (if it's called for), then you may need more than a camera op.
I know there are a lot of folks and OMBs here who provide more than only camera operation, e.g. pre-production work, writing, directing, etc., but if you're asking for/expecting such things, you should be prepared to pay for those additional services.

RE: Mediahalo...I've visited that site in the past and was disappointed. I hope a new approach makes it something much more worthwhile.

it's gone through a handful of old iterations which were its false starts, i started it with some paid interns and it got going but then other things got it the way and it went stale, then i started it up again based on shooter lists, and then finally my programming friend after never being able to find a project which he could sink his teeth into agreed to partner up on it. that was a little over a year ago, and despite his full time job coding at jp morgan, he's been hard at work on it. he just released the hopefully second to last round of releases that im bug checking now, and once we release it, it'll be open for anyone to make suggestions on what they the users want to be added/changed. if you don't like something, say it, if you want to see something, request it, it'll be an evolving thing.

i can tell you that the primary idea at launch is to let people know that before looking to craigslist to hire someone, and deal with making an ad and then sorting through disorganized emails in the hundreds if not thousands, first see if you can find an ideal shooter on mh with a few clicks.

Thanks to guys who got back to mr. The client never even bothered to get back to me, so they're on their own

I'm shooting an event at the Freehold Harnes track on Sat., the 21st. I want someone who has experience doing events ( booths, interviews, etc.). I shoot with both a Sony FS100 and Sony nx5, and want someone who has experience with either. I can provide the NX5 if you don't have one. If you are an FS100 shooter and have own cam, that's good too.
Send me an email at
yarock at a o l dot com. Include your phone numbner and I'll get right back to you.
Thanks

I am looking for an editor in Montreal to finalize a project I shot that I do not have time to edit for the client.

The project involves cutting up interviews and audio to be used in a long form 10-15 minute edit and getting a good dialogue flow for the project. No need to worry about polishing it/grading and making it final at this point as additional footage will be added in the future and that second job will be available as well if the work is good.

Send me an email or post here, I will be monitoring the thread actively. I can send a PDF brief on the project overall to those available.

Footage was shot on 7D/C300 and can be delivered directly. I am located in Laval and can travel into montreal to deliver the footage. Deadline is kind of tight, but I can give details through email.

Thanks

[Justin Molush]

And slot is filled!
