Looking for a shooter for a full day February 10 shoot in Salem, Oregon. Prefer Canon C100. But C300, Sony EX1 or 3 are also fine. Other cameras of similar quality would be fine too. Not looking to spend a ton of money on this. So would only want to hire a one person crew. Would involve filming a meeting, some interviews, and lobbying footage at the state capitol. Wireless mic, tripod would be required. Lights not needed.

Email me with some demo footage and pricing at bsherman@aft.org if interested.

Hi, I'm filming a green screen shoot on February 11th in East Hanover, NJ. Looking for someone to ride co-pilot as I work the camera and actors. Primarily looking for someone who has worked with green screen in the past. I'm familiar enough to know to keep the talent as far from the screen as possible, light them well, and keep the light even on the screen. I'd prefer to have someone there to keep me on track with the lighting as I get distracted by the other stuff.

Let me know if you're interested. Thanks!

Hello,
I am a videographer at a wilderness school called Teaching Drum Outdoor School, located in northern Wisconsin. We currently have hundreds of hours of footage that we are turning into documentaries, YouTube shorts, and instructional videos. In 2014, I filmed 350 hours of HD footage of last summer’s intensive wilderness program, and will be starting to edit a feature-length documentary soon.

You can see a teaser for the Guardian Intensive Training documentary at:

What is a Guardian? - YouTube

Also, our YouTube channel contains our evolving collection of instructional videos:
Teaching Drum - YouTube

I am looking for someone to help create YouTube content and assist me in the production of our upcoming documentary. They would need to be willing to live on-site on the Teaching Drum campus. We provide room and board and a small stipend. I am willing to train them on our equipment, if needed.

My interest in videography is that of a truth-seeker. I see it as an opportunity to dive deeper into the subjects that inspire me. Through my story-telling video work, I get to examine my own biases and beliefs. Our programs approach learning and relationship through a qualitative approach; rather than a list of ‘whats’ we focus on the process of the ‘how.’ Similarly, video editing here does not revolve around deadlines and goal-oriented stress, but rather an appreciation for the art and the learning it inspires.

Because we have such an abundance of video footage to process, we are looking for someone who either has experience with video editing, or the potential to learn quickly. He or she will have the chance to create instructional videos as well as collaborate on full-length documentaries, such as the currently 50% complete Inner Tracking video...

YouTube (Short URL)

... and the Guardian Intensive documentary(see above link). Future filming projects at the school may also create opportunities for hands-on filming experience.

Due to the amount of training needed for the position, we are looking for someone who can commit to at least 3 months.

Teaching Drum Outdoor School is a non-profit community where over a dozen people live and work to maintain the school’s programs, publish books, create media, and foster a connection with the Earth through a balanced approach to work, our relationships, and with our environment. We gather and harvest a large portion of our own food from the wild, and much of our infrastructure is repurposed and built by our skilled volunteer staff.

Living at Teaching Drum also avails you to the many activities of the school, a list of which can be found at Teaching Drum Outdoor School | Nadmadewining Community.

Compensation for the position is free room and board, featuring an organic paleo diet, living in a rustic a Northwoods community, shared vehicle use, opportunities to learn outdoor living skills, and a $350 stipend. FYI - Our community is drug and alcohol free and we do not allow pets. For more information on Teaching Drum Outdoor School, visit

adjul@teachingdrum.org

To apply, send an application request to volunteer@teachingdrum.org

Hmmm, I should keep an eye on this subforum more often.
Although it is still around 2,5 hour drive, I am located in The Netherlands.

Hi,

Looking for an interview to fill out a corporate piece that's already been shot. High-rise office building in West LA / Santa Monica. Three light kit, one camera, lav mic. I literally need a single :15 snippet to include in the final piece, but the producer will want to ask a few questions to get there - maybe a half hour of setup and a 10 minute interview.

I appreciate that talent behind the camera is not based on gear, but I need someone who looks the part - no DSLRs, no handycams, please have something the client will believe is a "real camera".

This piece runs the NEXT DAY, I will need to edit in what you shoot later that same day. Please be able to drop the video in a dropbox/ftp/google drive shortly after the shoot for a same-day edit.

I can show you the remainder of the piece so you have something to try and match.

Producer will be there to ask the questions and handle the interview subject.

Please quote a rate.

I need to immediately hire a contract editor for a potentially long-term series of projects (lots of work in the pipe already). Must be comfortable with Final Cut Pro X, Photoshop, etc.

Ideal candidate can also take on other imaging projects as well, such as occasional secondary camera work and some asset editing in Photoshop.

Pay is DOE, but what I'm really looking for is someone that can really crank out material and has a good understanding of building a narrative around editorial content. Work is primarily in the automotive editorial and motorsport genres.

I'd be willing to take on a less experienced editor if they're willing to put in the effort. Must be based in or near Seattle. Work at my place or yours.
