Could someone get me the "Nashville Star" opening graphic?
 

Hey all

I am new member here. I've spent a while searching the forums and reading various topics. But this is the first time I've actually posted something. I know it's rude for a stranger like me to ask for favors, but if it's quick and easy for someone to help me out then this won't be too much to ask.

I am putting together my director's/editor's reel and I did some short term AC work on this season's "Nashville Star" show (now airing Monday nights on NBC). I want to obtain the opening title graphic to incorporate into my reel and I do not have the means to grab it off the TV. My VCR is broken, and I don't have a way to record a TV stream on my laptop.

If anyone is able to grab the opener, compress it to a MOV file and email/upload to me I would be very grateful. Let me know if it's possible, and we can discuss further via email.

If this is a lot to ask, then perhaps someone could suggest how I might go about getting the opener.

All the best

PS: Having an AIM or MSN screen name I could communicate on with you is a big plus.

XDCAM Shooter on Kauai needed for documentary shoot in early July

Check out www.soulfabric.net to read about our project, and contact me here or via email for more details. The experience will be fun, deeply connected to culture and adventure, and is paid.

If you worked on the show, can't you ask the production company for it? That way you would get the highest quality possible (someone grabbing it for you may look rather cheap and not help your cause) and you would be on safe ground as far as copyright goes.

2nd camera for wedding in NE Ohio Jul. 19th
 

Just found out my client wants a 2 camera shoot for her wedding on the 19th of July. The event is in the Warren/Youngstown Ohio area. As this just came up, all of my colleagues who I would usually call upon are booked already.

I would require a person who has their own equipment, preferably HD if possible. The final product will be a widescreen DVD but I like to acquire in HD anyway for more options down the road. I shoot with a Canon H1 and a Canon HV20 for a wide balcony shot to cut away to if the other cameras goof up. This is basically a "c" roll camera! :)

This 2nd camera person should be skilled enough to cover wide to medium shots handheld and on a tripod. I will handle all the closeups and creative shots. I don't expect the handheld shots to be "Steadicam" perfect but no nauseating fast pans and shakes. I need this camera to fall back on when I get too creative and blow focus on a critical shot or accidentally bump the "pause" button in the middle of the ceremony.

Anyone in the Ohio area interested shoot me an email through my profile and I'll let you know the pay. It's pretty standard fare for a 2nd cam in the area.

This would be for both the wedding "and" the reception.

Thanks for any replies in advance.

Might find it hard to find a DVX 100 to rent. Might have to use the HVX200 and record to tape if that's what you need.

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for the info. Appreciated.

Hi Mike,

I've got experience shooting as a DP with an XH-A1, i've also got my own loaded HPX-500 package as well. Shoot me an e-mail if you're interested in chatting, or give me a call at 610-442-3442.

To the best of my knowledge, it's a non-profit business. The money they make from films/television that show the sign, they spend it maintaining the sign.

Can you paint with light?
 

Hi there. I'm looking for a seasoned DP who can "paint with light" and is familiar with the jvc hd100 and hdv codec. I'm looking for someone who can not only light a scene realistically but artistically and expressively depending on mood and atmosphere of the given scene. I have a short film I want to shoot on the hd100 and need to find a quality DP. Send me your webpage or link to your reel. Thanks!
