Helping Hands from 2013

[Al Bergstein]

I was asked by a friend to shoot the Seattle Mandolin Orchestra performance of Handel's Messiah on December 15th. This would probably be a pretty straightforward documentary one camera shoot with sound off the board. They might be willing to pay something for the effort, as they asked my rate, but I wasn't available that day. As I play mandolin and was a one time member of the orchestra, I assume they are looking low cost or friend of the band rates. I would likely shoot it with my C100 as it's an orchestra, and not likely looking for much in the way of close ups. You could shoot it with a decent high end consumer camera, like a Panny TM950. Main thing would be to have a solid A camera without monkeying around with zooming in. Just make sure you get the whole show from an establishing shot, with quality sound feed, if possible. Everything else would be gravy.

Might be a good opportunity for a student to get some Christmas money. Please contact me first to discuss your experience and gear. Thanks.

Al - Sounds interesting. I'd be willing to consider helping out. Unfortunately, my camera is not a good low-light performer but I've got a lot of other gear (mics, cables, lights, stands, tripods, etc.) that would be useful if you find someone who wants to be the primary shooter in charge.

Might support a B-roll camera? Pre and after performance video to supplement the main one? "Have monopod, will travel."

I'm too busy today to drop you a personal line but will try later.

Well I think that sums it up George. You walked away from your business because of no-pay jobs only to turn around and offer a no-pay job to others. The media careers are a commodity right now. Expertise is not valued as high as other things like convenience.

As George stated, as long as we know that you can direct your business to an area that might support opportunity.

Hi,

I am shooting one man theatrical performance in the morning of Dec. 7th in Galloway, NJ (near Atlantic City).
Need local 2nd shooter for close-ups, pick-ups and audience shots.
Preferably GH2, GH3, G6, AF100, 60D or any camera recording to SD cards. I will provide cards.
The show will be roughly 70 minutes, but I will need you to be there a bit earlier to setup and chat about production.
I can pay 150. Looking for local shooter.
Contact alex@treeam.com

Kind regards
-Alex

Al - "Give me a shout on Monday John. We can discuss."

I sent a "personal" email that I think will explain that no matter how loud I shout you won't be able to hear me so please check for your DVinfo email.
