$100-$200 for a 10 hour day for a small crew for a healthcare training video in NYC. That doesn't even cover the cost of the RENTAL (use of gear) for a Sony VX-2100!
Seeking Crew for Healthcare Video Reply to: gigs-158338937@craigslist.org Date: 2006-05-07, 9:20AM EDT Small crew sought for non-profit language training video for healthcare workers. Shoot is scheduled for 5/19 but could change to fit around the right DP's schedule. Scenes will involve interactions between doctors and patients in a simple office setting. As these scenes are brief, the shoot should not last more than 8-10 hours. Students welcome. Must be flexible and willing to wear a number of hats. Please send resume, along with note detailing availability and access to camera and lighting equipment, if any (additional compensation available for providing equipment). this is in or around Manhattan no -- it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests Compensation: $100-$200 per day |

Ah, Craiglist. The epicenter of all things heinous.
"Sedona" - Major Network Reality Series: Seeking Camera Operator
Reply to: gigs-158496474@craigslist.org Date: 2006-05-07, 7:38PM EDT RESUMES ACCEPTED BY WAY OF EMAIL ONLY: NY13Promotions@aol.com "Sedona" - New Reality Television "Docu-Series" Opportunity SEEKING: To assemble a crew, with novice to advanced technichal knowledge, (consisting of Filmakers, Digital/Betacam Camera Operators, and independent Cinematographers of all kinds) interested in pursuing an opportunity, in filming a reality/documentry PILOT, actually filmed on location in Sedona Arizona. Upon completion this intense and fascinating journey, to one of the quintessential wonders of the earth, will be immediatley presented to major networks, by way of a highly repuatble and experienced public relations media consultant. No Pay, MAJOR Exposure / opportunity to be part of a project, which has an outlet to present marketable material to major industry professionals. As the camera operator acts as part of this documented journey. INDEPENDENT FILM MAKERS encouraged to respond. What Is the "Sedona" series concept? Scientists have aknowledged for some time now, that mystery of Sedona Arizona is indeed very real. This location is refered to as a natural "energy vortex" of our earth. A vortex can be described as an enhanced energy location existing in real time. They are neither electric nor magnetic, yet its evidence its undeniable, as experienced the millions who visit from all over the world. Recently the PBS program Nova, featured a breakthrough in physics called "String Theory" that is revolutionizing all of science, in the same way Einstein's discoveries had in the early 1900's. The key concept of super-string, agreed upon by the world's top scientists, is that all things exist in a minimum of 10 or more dimensions. Simply stated Vortex sites are locations having energy flows into those deeper dimensions. Travel Fee's would not be covered, as this notice is an attempt to gather all interested parties, interested in participating in a fascinating and transformational experience, with major public relations backing. This Project will potentially lead to a major Money Making Opportunity. E-mail all Resumes and Technical Experience to: NY13Promotions@aol.com So. First they mislead you by claiming to be a "Major Network" reality series, when in "reality", it's just a spec pilot they're gonna pitch when it's done. THEN, they inform you that they will not cover any travel expenses. Thoughts, anyone? My jaw's still on the floor. |

Sounds like they have a side project involving Peyote going on down there in Sedona too.

I can't fault them for having a colorful imagination but maybe a little unrealistic as to the ease of getting a network to pick this up. It's mostly the typical Craig's List post that uses the words may be, could be, probably, potentially, etc. to leave it open ended. Maybe a bit overzealous but at least not very ridiculously demanding like most other CL posts.

They forgot to include UP FRONT as a choice of payment. But no, "If you need money up front then the first option is best for you." Now how is getting paid hourly the same as money up front.
"If you choose the 2nd option you will not get paid as much as option one." What!? The second option means you get paid two ways. How is that not as much as the other choices? I guess the reason they only want a college student is so when they get caught, it will look more innocent. This person must have just smoked some crack before posting this. Quote:

Now I GET the business model!!!! Slaps forehead. I get a whole bunch of these kids together, they supply their own gear, I get them work and charge the client and I don't have to pay them!
If they mess up a given job, I give part of the money back to the client, get another freebie kid to do it (doesn't cost me anything) and I still make a profit! If the kid asks for money at some point, I just replace him with another freebie kid. Must be thousands of kids like this. Why have them under bid me? I simply "hire" them at their requested wage! I can crew an entire network like this and call it . . . MTV and make "shaky cam," bad continuity and jump cuts a "style." ---- Final Cut Editor....willing to work for FREE!!! Reply to: gigs-160114325@craigslist.org Date: 2006-05-12, 1:21PM EDT Just out of school with plenty of Final Cut Editing under my belt.

The problem with pay per download sites is there's no way for the individual content owners to accurately verify the number of downloads so they can get paid. The site provider could collect money and just tell you that noone has used your footage unless you happen to see it being used. The only way to ensure that you get paid for what is used is to watermark your content and only provide the clean copy directly to the recipient and keep accurate records so if they resell it to others you'll know who has paid and who hasn't. Good luck with that.
