Helping Hands from 2007

Ben Morris · February 21st, 2007, 03:53 AM

Hi,

I hope nobody minds me posting here. I am a composer keen to meet and colloborate with film makers.

Here are a few examples of my work:

Battle Sequence - Powerful Percussion and Orchestral sounds featuring some sound design elements & Heavy Guitar sounds towards the end (1.06)
Baiji - Music written to a short film shot in China. Features ethnic sounds with atmospheric strings and percussion. (1.23)
Phoenix Haunting Orchestral music originally written to a short sci-fi film. (1.40)

I hope you will visit my website at http://www.benmorrismusic.com/. You will find more music, Video Samples I have scored as well as further info about myself.

Thanks for looking

Ben

I have been contacted by a lady who runs a belly dancing competition in Virginia Beach on May 19-20. She is needing someone to video tape. I have 4 other shows booked that weekend and can't do this one. If you are interested, please email Taaj at taajfiqalbi@yahoo.com

Thanks

Looking for some side-line indie shooting work in the NE Ohio area. I am usually free from Fri-Sun and other evenings after 3:00pm. I would like to work on 2-3 short films for students or other indie directors - just something so I can keep my skill sharp.

I have my own equipment and can travel a bit. Not looking for pay - just an interesting project to let my creative juices flow. Also have fairly extensive editing and compositing skills.

Email if interested! Thanks in advance...

Try www.nowcasting.com. I've had a lot of success with that site.

Heath Vinyard · February 23rd, 2007, 10:30 AM

Unfortunately there's little, if any, money, but I would love to talk to someone and see what they would charge to score this.

Please email for info.

Thanks.

Hi Heath,

Probably best not to publish your email address on a public forum but I've sent you a message anyway.

Good luck.

Colin Willsher · February 24th, 2007, 06:47 AM

Hi,

Just thought that after all this time I should introduce myself to anyone requiring specially composed music or sound design. To be honest, I wasn't sure it was allowed but clearly it is here :o)

I've written over 200 scores for television in the UK and am keen to progress into film now, having also done a number of documentaries including for National Geographic, Discovery and the BBC. My website (below) has a number of audio examples, along with a full list of credits to date.

I also have a vast library of extremely cost-effective buyout production music which has found it's way onto many broadcast and non-broadcast productions worldwide. Feel free to check it out - I hope it helps you and don't hesitate to get in touch to discuss your project.

Best wishes,

Colin

I'm currently a Senior working on my thesis short, attending UArts in Philadelphia. I am in the pre-production stage, looking to go into production Mid-March. I am casting right now, and still securing location and crew. I feel that a strong synergy is necessary between a crew and feel that the final project is only as good as the energy put into it.

Synopsis:
Hidden is an intrusive exploration of the retribution of an immoral practice. Working as a pawn in a risky hidden camera ring, Jeremiah, a high school janitor, finds himself trapped in the center of the ring’s destruction. When a troubled teenage girl catches on will Jeremiah’s days finally be numbered, or does she have plans of her own?

I think that the most frightening effects are made by the viewer's mind, that being said this isn't a movie about hidden cameras, it's about the protagonist's struggle with his morality and sexual impotency.

I plan to be utilizing handheld camerawork to mimic an intrusive feeling of spying on the characters in this piece. Visual styles i am looking for can be seen in the handheld work in half nelson, el' enfant, or keane.

Crew Needed:

Assistant Director
Director of Photography/Camera Opperator
Sound Guy
Boom Pole Opperator
Gaffers/Grips
PA's
Editor

Compensation: Credit, Meals, 2 DVD copies.
I plan to put this on the festival circuit afterwards to help showcase the work of the cast and crew involved.

If interested please email me at fdokfilms@gmail.com

Ari Shomair · February 26th, 2007, 08:58 AM

I'm helping to produce a short documentary film and need to find a camera operator / HVX owner in the Vancouver area to film an interview for it.

The doc has already been accepted into the NUFF film festival (http://www.nuff.no/), and therefore all film credits are guaranteed to end up on IMDB. To make this deal even sweeter, you will also be paid for your time.

The interview is only a few minutes long, so you're likely looking at 3-4 hours work total.

If you're interested, contact me via PM or email.
Thanks,
Ari

Hello writers,

We are a small and fairly new production company based in Istanbul, Turkey. We are currently preparing two feature length documentaries, one funded by the European Union, the other as a coproduction with a French company.

We are looking for interesting feature length screenplays to produce and direct. We are open to all ideas and genres (although we have a particular interest in intelligent and original film noir). However this should be a no/lo budget film as we have limited financial means. Also this film will be doing the festival circuit so only suitable projects please.

We can only shoot in this area of the world so no location specific stories.

Also keep in mind that we have no money to pay for your script until after (and if) we manage to earn any money with the film.

Language is not an issue as we can translate as well as shoot in english if the project calls for it.

You can contact me at ramin@giyotinfilm.com

Thanks.
