They do one day rentals, but they're closed on the weekend and seeing as you need it on a Saturday you would be forced to rent it for three days, unfortunately.

Re: Sony FS7 shooter needed June 27 Deland Fl.
 
In Miami , they let you pick up the rental gear on Friday afternoon, return it Monday, and charge you one day,

This is a salary with benefits job.

Job listing is here.

Re: Need full-time editor in Mandeville, LA
 
Just out of curiosity, do editors still have to physically be in a production house to edit? With everything in the cloud or servers nowadays, I edit everything at home, although the finished work/product will be shown in San Jose, New York, San Francisco, Hawaii...etc. In cases where there is no server, I've had portable hard drives sent in by Fed Ex.

Tom Gresham June 21st, 2015 05:54 AM

Re: Need full-time editor in Mandeville, LA
 
Sure, it's possible to do editing from a remote location, but in our case, we need editors (we are hiring two) in the office. The job is actually for editing and shooting. We (producers) often sit with the editors to make sure we're getting what we need. For those two reasons (shooting as well as the direct collaboration), we need two more people in-house.

We have used production houses and editors who were not on site for several years, and there are just too many missed communications along the way.

We produce three television/video series (two are on three networks, each, and one is digital distribution), as well as DVDs, etc.

As is detailed in the link, the subject matter is primarily firearms, shooting, competition, etc.

Sorry I didn't read about this before. I live in Amsterdam and am willing and able to travel wherever a paid gig brings me! (even a 2 hour drive to Groningen... ;-) I also shoot with an EX3, among others.

So next time you're looking for a shooter in the Netherlands, let me know. I'm a documentary filmer who's done a lot of event registration and short (corporate) work.

Take care,

Sorry for any vagueness.

To clarify, it was the academic (speaker) who recorded himself using his laptop and its inbuilt camera. There was no video professional involved, sadly.

Need shooter for comedy benefit in Montreal 7/23
 
Hi all, I'm posting this on behalf of a friend who is looking for someone to document a show for a great cause. The show is Thursday July 23rd in Montreal. Here is the info. Please email Jodi directly rather than PM'ing me. Thanks!



Some of the funniest comedians including Jimmy Carr, Bert Kreisher and Shaun Majumder will lend their time to perform free of charge for cancer patients who, through their participation in the special programs at the Hope & Cope Wellness Centre, are learning to cope with the challenges of cancer and to live well in the face of illness.

This year’s show at the Centre is being produced by Comedy Gives Back (CGB), the social benefit company that leverages comedy and technology to raise funds and awareness for various charities and causes. CGB creates groundbreaking initiatives that help transform the world through the power of laughter.

The show will take place in Montreal at the Hope and Cope Wellness Center - 4635 Ch de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine at 2:30 pm. We are looking for someone who has a camera and can film this special show and get some reactions from audience members. The time commitment would be approximately 2 hours. If you know of anyone who can lend their services, it would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Jodi

I shot a 30 second commercial with a friend
 
of mine about five years ago. I can't find him now. A company would like to use the commercial. I will not be able to obtain consent. What are the pitfalls of me allowing the company to use this commercial without the actors permission?

Christopher Glavan August 5th, 2015 04:39 PM

Re: I shot a 30 second commercial with a friend
 
Depends on whether a contract was drafted and whether any compensation is being offered. He could see the commercial and either request compensation or request his likeness not be used without his consent, at which point the company would not be able to use the commercial unless/until they make an agreement with him or risk legal action. Likewise, he might approach you requesting a percentage of whatever compensation you receive from the company's use of the commercial.

It's also possible that the company using the commercial discovers your friend has not given consent and could take pre-emptive legal action against you to cover themselves.

Not sure if that is a complete answer, but hope it helps.

You should consult with a lawyer rather than ask for advice on a Internet forum.

Volunteer shooter needed for charity event (Fairfax, VA) 9/20
 
I've shot and produced an 8-10 minute video of a 5k run and cultural event for the last several years for a local charity, Asha-Jyothi, who uses the video as its primary tool for recruiting volunteers and attracting contributors. I'm unavailable this year, and the charity is anxious to maintain a high quality video for these purposes. I know we have D.C.-area videographers here. Any takers?

My video from last year to give you an idea of expectations (FYI, I shot this on a Sony FS700 and had an assistant running sound):

Production time commitment is about 5 hours. You'll likely get exposure on their website and on promo materials, plus a whopping good feeling about doing a right thing.

If you're interested, get directly in touch with Yamini Ganta at yaminig AT hotmail DOT com.

If you have any questions for me, certainly post them here or PM me.

Thanks for your consideration!

Need Ronin operator Boston Sept 26
 
I'm shooting music video in Dartmouth mass ( beach town) on Sept 26.
I need someone very experienced in setting up and balancing full size Ronin ( not Ronin m).
I'll be shooting with my Sony Fs7, and will be bringing my Ronin and harness. If someone has their own Ronin, with the Cine milled extension arms, that might work. In that case I would bring only my camera and harness.
If anyone is interested, please contact me.

Versatile composer looking for projects
 
Hi

My name is Sam Knights and I am a composer/producer looking for projects to work on. I studied Classical Music at Leeds College of Music, where I won the Composition Award, but that doesn't mean I'm a pompous classical musician; I have extensive experience with pop and rock bands too, so I am good at making almost any kind of music.

If you want to hear examples of my music, visit Home - the most relevant music for you will be under the Soundtrack/Ambient subcategory, but feel free to explore the rest of the site.

Can't wait to hear from some of you and get to work.

Corp Event in Camas, WA (Portland, OR market)
 
On November 17th, my employer needs a shooter/editor to do a one day, quick-turnaround job. I normally do this job, but won't be available. We will pay market rates.

We expect three visits: 1) To discuss the job, see the setup, equipment, etc. 2) To shoot the event, which will be 90 minutes long, and 3) To return any hard drives, cards, etc after the edit and to deliver the edited video, if not already delivered online.

We have the equipment and are open to you bringing your own, familiar gear. The shoot is of a speaker at a lectern, the audience, and PowerPoint slides. We typically use a small-chip camera for a locked down wide shot that also records continuous audio, a 5D2 with 70-200/2.8L IS II lens that is operated live, and the PowerPoint slides. Like The Daily Show, I typically pan the talent to the side when I want to key the PowerPoint slides over the shoulder and pan back when I want to focus on the speaker. I'll also try to get the audience member, if somebody stands to be recognized by the speaker. The 5D2 has a 12 minute limit, so you need to turn off/on the power regularly, during lulls.

We have two ellipsoid lights that we place on the sides to light the talent. Other than that, we use the available light.

The edit needs fast turnaround. Use the wide shot as the master. Add the tight shot, tight shot with PowerPoint over the shoulder, or full-frame PowerPoint, depending on the context of the moment. The good news is that the edit decisions are fairly obvious. The bad news is that it's an intense job to turn around 90 minutes of edited video quickly. One needs to balance speed and perfection. Do a simple mix on the audio to ensure that the dialog levels are consistent, render, and deliver.

We can provide an example video so you can see what's expected. However, note that these are private company meetings, so the information is confidential.

If interested, please contact Scott Ross and me with your contact information and your shooting/editing experience.

Can you help me with DVD authoring?
 
Hi, I have a wedding I've shot and edited (in Adobe Premiere). I'm out of the country for a while though and need to create 3 DVD versions and send them to the couple in Texas.

Can someone help me with the following -

- Use some sort of typical wedding menu (I think there will be about 6 chapters)

- Print the DVD/jewel case with whatever your usual bells and whistles are.

- Send the 3 DVDs out.

The idea here is that you're a wedding videographer who creates DVDs all the time so you're just replicating what you normally do with the video I'll send you.

If you're interested, please send me a quote with what this would cost.

Dallas/Richardson TX help Dec 3 & 4
 
I have a corporate shoot that requires some lighting/support gear and possible grip work. If you are interested and available, please PM me.

Equipment we're looking for is Kino (type) case lights, LED panel lights, modifiers (scrims/flags), c-stands, sandbags. Flying in with gear is no fun, so I'd rather rent or hire locally.

Thanks.

Production help in Corvallis Oregon
 
I am in need of someone to help me out with a gig on December 19th. This would involve helping me load up gear in Corvallis, riding with me to Bend, operating camera on a live, multi-cam shoot, then helping me unload everything back in Corvallis.

Some of the gear is pretty heavy, so having the physical ability to help lift it is a necessity. Also, this is an extremely low budget production. I only have $150 to pay someone to help out with it. If anyone is interested, please send me an e-mail at AdamGrunseth at gmail dot com.
