Final Cut Pro Editor

4/27/10

Final Frame Studios is looking to hire a talented video editor to edit wedding videos. Most edits will be highlight reels (song length montages) and a few will be documentaries (30 - 60 minutes in length).

You will work independently, on your own time, on your own equipment. For each project, we will meet before editing begins so I can give you the raw footage, an overview of the wedding, and possibly an idea of what I would like to see.

This okay too, but not required.

Experience Requirements: You must have experience editing video on Final Cut Pro.

You must have the following:
1. An Apple computer. Any model from the last few years should be able to edit HD footage.
2. Final Cut Pro
3. An external hard drive with FireWire
4. It's a plus if you also have and know how to use Photoshop and After Effects

Compensation for editing wedding documentaries has not yet been determined but it will be at least $600.

How to Apply: You must follow these instructions in order to be considered for the position. 1. Go to finalframe.com/wed-folio/wed-folio.html and watch the highlight reels in the left column. If this is something you can create, go to step 2.

2. Submit, via email, the following:

- A cover letter and your résumé

Looking for Tech/Editor for 4-Month road trip around the U.S.

2/17/10

We’re producing a three/four-month U.S. Tour for one of our clients (mid April –mid August). We have custom built a mobile studio and will be traveling the country taping real stories from real people. We’re looking for a tech lead to record/qc/wrangle video and troubleshoot if any problems arise.

• Duties will include: camera setup, audio/video setup and testing, QC of all material as it’s recorded as well as transfering of files, burning of dvds, etc. You’ll also need the skills to troubleshoot – we have a fairly complex lighting, power, cable, computer and drive setup that will need attention from time to time.
• You’ll also be taking the camera out of the Airstream to do some “person-on-the-street” type stuff. You’ll need to edit this material (extremely simple edit – nothing fancy), encode and upload it to the video blog.
• In addition, from time to time you’ll take over as the producer/director of the shoot. You should be comfortable talking to new people and the ability to help bring out their stories.

The Tour will hit 25 U.S. cities (smaller cities and will start in Fresno, CA on May 3 and end up in Eugene, OR on August 17). It will take a little over three-months to complete and will be on the road the entire time (with two-three days off/week on average), but this is a four-month gig (with training, etc.). There will be four people on the crew (Producer, Driver, Tech, PA). It’s a real opportunity to see America in a most unique way! A quote from a crewmember on last year’s tour: "It really was an incredible journey. Doing the work that I enjoy while traveling the continental US and meeting fascinating people.”

Please send us your resumes and cover letters along with your salary requirements. Don’t just tell us why you’re qualified... Tell us what excites you about this project and why you want to be on the road for 5 months.

Send all responses to 25citytour@gmail.com

Madeline Minx, a square peg in a round hole, drags her best friend, reclusive pianist Winston Trundle, to Hollywood lusting after mainstream acceptance and a record deal. Winston vies for Minx's romantic affections, but she's too busy courting Rama, a hot up-and-coming A & R executive slash spiritual guru. Rama sets up a showcase to debut Minx to the record industry, branding her wacky act as neo-spiritual post-punk girl power. All she has to do is get a little more girly and a little less powerful.

Seeking 1DP + 1 FCP Editor for Small Doc Team

7/19/10

I am a writer and photographer with a background in documentary film. I am about to start directing and producing a series of documentary projects for a Bay Area agricultural non-profit, and I am looking for a DP with audio experience and an FCP editor who is experienced with multi-platform distribution to form my team. Initially the work will be in exchange for reel material and the experience of contributing to a fun, meaningful and rewarding project, but if the films turn out well, paying work should follow.

I will coordinate and direct the shoots, take stills and supplemental video, conduct interviews and sit in on the editing. For anyone interested in sustainable agriculture and environmental subjects, this is a rare entré into the local farming and ranching community and the sometimes heated politics of food production and consumption.

It's a great time to get involved, as this non-profit is hugely respected and highly motivated to create media for their website as well as films for dvd distribution. The opportunities promise to be ongoing, and, again, eventually remunerative.

I also have personal documentary projects underway, so if the team is a fit, my hope is to seek funding for those and other projects and grow into a successful working unit.

If you are interested please respond to this post and include details about your experience, availability, and, in the case of the DP, your skills with recording audio and your kit.

Many thanks!

Apprentice/ Intern Opportunity

6/16/10

looking for someone who thinks the opportunity to work on a life portrait of virtuoso flamenco guitarist Paco Peña might be exciting. I am editing 10 years of perforance footage as well as audio recordings I made with Paco in his home in London, and HD video I shot in Rotterdam, The Netherlands where he teaches, and Cordoba, Spain where he keeps a summer home and is the founder of the Centro Flamenco Cordoba.

I did a short artist portrait for Ervin Somogyi in Oakland, California. Ervin makes guitars for Windham Hill Artists and greats like the former John Denver. Paco saw it, loved it, and asked me to do a 1-hour artist portrait for him to sell via his shows.

So that's the project -- work with me in assembling all of this incredible footage of dancing, singing, and Paco walking around Cordoba, the Mosque, teaching at the World Music Program at the Rotterdam Conservatoire, and Paco reminiscing on the stage of the Queen's Hall and Royal Festival Hall, London.

A wonderful internship for the right person. Please reply with interest, experience related to editing using Final Cut Studio, Avid or other editing, and a link if available to something you like that you've worked on.

My name is Julianne Gabert, I am the production manager for the feature film "Bloodline". We are shooting in Sacramento and Pollock Pines in late April - May.

We’ll shoot one day at the zoo with hand-held HD cameras, so we look like tourists; another day at my place in Oakland for the office scenes. We’ll shoot the scenes at the zoo on the 8th and the office scenes on the 9th, assuming the weather is good on the 8th. I have two cameras confirmed for the 8th; one camera for the 9th.

Screenwriter wanted

3/13/10

I am a director/producer and I'm looking to meet writers and screenwriters. I have two or more projects that I want to produce and direct this summer and I need someone to write them. This in NOT a job. NOT a paid position. The money that will be raised will go to the production ONLY. Also looking to form a long-term collaboration with the intent to make a feature.

The type of writer I want: Dedicated to writing only---with no interest in directing, producing, acting or any other job on these works. Someone who keeps up with current local and global events. A writer that can dedicate serious time to this; comfortable with and experienced at dedicating at least 4 hrs a day to writing. A writer that can take direction from a producer. No lone wolves. We collaborate.

The projects:
1. An adaptation of a one act scene from the 60's. A gay/liberal comedy about the conventions of sexuality.
2. An original work of a man of middle-eastern descent that is accused of terrorism as a scapegoat to a govt. cover-up.
3. A series of original works. Short comedies that connect to each other through the main character, a clown type story.

Me: I went to film school for three years then began teaching youth video as a part-time job. I have been producing videography for local non-profits for two years and doing freelance work on the side. I just started back at school; focusing on History and Political Science and will be minoring on Global Peace Studies in the Fall. I am a 28 yr old male. I have produced two modest budget short-films and many no budget shorts that went nowhere. Like I said before, I goofed around for a few years in school and then took time off. Now I'm ready to get back in with a new perspective and a clear goal of what I want to make. I am very hard working and demand a professional quality of work from whoever I work with. I want to do this because I love it, but because I love it I will not screw around. You can expect me to always have clear critiques and creative ideas on how to work something out.

To respond to this posting I expect from you a short bio, including what type of writing you have done, what your interests are and how much time you can dedicate to this. I will NOT respond to emails that are just cut and paste resume and qualifications. I want to know that you read the whole post before deciding to contact me. After that we can exchange any works that you think might be a good example of your writing talent.

PLEASE USE THIS EMAIL: popeyevisions@gmail.com Adress it to Patrick.

Also, I want to express that I am not adverse to working with someone who has no experience in screenwriting. However, if this is the case, and it goes for anyone regardless of experience, you must be willing to and capable to writing a great deal and answering to revisions and critique.

INTERIM DIRECTOR OF "ROUGH CUTS" documentary series

3/11/10

We are searching for an interim director of Rough Cuts who can produce one or two events for us this spring.

Rough Cuts is a work-in-progress documentary series at the Lab, a gallery/performance space in the Mission. For each evening, we screen one rough cut of a feature-length documentary and then moderate a conversation about the film. These post-screening discussions are designed to give the filmmaker a better, more objective sense of what is working and not working with his/her film. At the same time, the series also provides a welcome space for local filmmakers, film professionals, and fans of documentary film to meet and talk.

Responsibilities include working with the screening committee to solicit and screen submissions, promoting the events to local media and Rough Cuts members, finding appropriate moderators for each evening, and working with the Lab staff to produce the events.

The job begins in April and runs through the end of June, with the potential to continue through the summer. Unfortunately, the position is not paid. However, it’s a fantastic opportunity to meet and work with filmmakers and gain experience leading a series that has helped over a dozen accomplished filmmakers improve and refine their work. (We also have received a 2009 “Best of” award in SF Weekly and were the subject of a SF Chronicle story last summer.)

More information about the series, including links to all of our events, can be found at http://www.thelab.org/roughcuts.

To apply, please send your resume and a letter detailing why you’re interested to Chris Holbrook at chrismholbrook@gmail.com, with “Rough Cuts” in the subject line. Please also indicate if you are available on Wednesday, April 28th, the date of our next event.

The film: See clips from the work in progress: www.thewelcomehomeproject.org

The mission of The Welcome Home Project is to heal a deep cultural wound by bridging the painful divide that exists between veterans (including their families) and the civilian communities in which they live. To encourage this effort in communities nationwide, the WHP will edit and distribute the film Voices of Vets, which documents a remarkable five day healing retreat for veterans and shows how vets and their communities can come together in reconciliation, deeper understanding and acceptance. The film will be used in local communities around the country to catalyze similar gatherings and programs to raise awareness and inspire a long-avoided dialogue about Warriors, their Return, and the essential role the civilian community plays by bearing witness and helping to provide meaning and purpose in the aftermath of war.

ISO 1st AC for Indie Short Film, 3/11 - 3/14, Oakland

I can afford to pay $50/day, so I'm probably looking
for a student or aspiring AC.

One bonus is that the DP is fantastic. A short film he DP'd is currently nominated for an Oscar for Best Live Action Short, and two films he DP'd in the past won Student Academy Awards. He'd be an incredible model for an aspiring DP to work with.

Info on the project/DP is here: www.voyeurthefilm.com

Personality is very important. Must be calm, friendly, professional attitude. I am also looking for a gaffer; this position is unpaid. Thank you!

This is a great opportunity as the executive producers are known in the industry and have just completed a 15 million dollar film, this is a passion project for them. If you are wondering why there is no money in this project if they just produced a 15mm film...I don't know, it is just they way it is.

Wanted: Filmmaker Apprentice

2/4/10

I'm interested in a young filmmaker who is interested in real-life filmmaking experiences. I've directed documentaries and fiction films, including the feature length movie "Mismo" (mismothemovie.com). Besides making films, my passion is also teaching others the ins and outs of filmmaking.

With me, you get put in position of responsibility immediately. You will shoot, edit, work with me directly on projects, and so forth.

About you, you must be accountable and responsible. If not, please don't apply. We will be working with people, so you should be comfortable working with people. Sounds funny, but really, some people aren't. Oh well...

Plus, please enjoy laughing and being silly. I'm far from being politically correct.

As for technical skills, you must know how to edit using FCP. Should know how to use social media, too.

We will be working together once or twice a week. Each session averages about 4 to 5 hours, give or take an hour, depending on the demands of the project.

About me, I'm working on a new project called thewildself.com. We will be shooting and editing episodic clips related to this project.

I live in Cole Valley in SF (94117). You will be responsible for your own transportation. I pay a small stipend, reimburse you for all hard costs, and pay for all meals.

If you're interested, email me a write up on why you think you would be a good fit, your resume, and a link to your portfolio.

My email is: gb25_99@hotmail.com

Thanks, Gino D. Borges, Ph.D

Camera Job Boom For Sale - $200

7/9/10

Outstanding - for use with a video camcorder. The boom can be swung up and down--swooping from ground level to 8-feet in the air--and side to side in a fluid motion, creating effects not usually possible for the amateur or semi-professional videographer and is usually very expensive even for the professional. CAMERA NOT INCLUDED IN SALE. Additionally, the boom allows the camera operator to pan much more smoothly with the action than if the camera were handheld, acting as a kind of Steadycam. Two counterweights come with the jib to compensate for the weight of cameras of various sizes. The viewing screen plugs into the camcorder and allows the operator to view the action at ground level as it is being taped/filmed.

I built it from a plan on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIqyv2lLUp0

Asking $200.00 cash or will consider trade.

Sony PVM 8042Q 8 inch Field Monitor w/ port-a-brace bag $400
Trinitron Color-150V 50/60Hz 45 Watts max
This is a great field monitor I bought brand new and used for a few years that has served me well. I’m only selling it because I don’t need it any more. The Port-a-Brace bag is great and has kept it clean and dust free. The fold out cover you see is so you can see whats on the monitor on a bright sunny day and it has Velcro covered vent windows to vent heat from the monitor. There are no rips on it and the Velcro is not worn. The monitor can be hooked up to a digital camera via a cable you can get at Radio Shack. Ideal for field applications, Sony's PVM-8042Q Fine-Pitch 8-inch Trinitron Color Monitor features 250 TV lines of resolution and a beam current feedback circuit. Other features include a comb filter for NTSC, component inputs (Y/R-Y/B-Y or RGB or Y/C), external sync or sync on green, underscan, and pulse cross. 16x9 4x3 switchable.

PANASONIC AG-DVX100 Professional MiniDV Camcorder $1,600
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panasonic_AG-DVX100
Mini-DV, 24p, 3-CCD image sensor. The DVX100 also features two XLR audio inputs, a 4-pin FireWire port, as well as S-Video and RCA in and out ports. It features manual and servo zoom, with a second zoom control and record button on top of the handle for recording from low angles. The camera has 276 hours on it and I have the original receipt and the box it came in.

Comes with: KATA CCS-100 camera bag, Panasonic CGP-D28, 6 Hour Lithium Ion Battery, PANASONIC CGR-D16, 2 hour, Lithium Ion Battery, Remote control, Head cleaner, Wall adaptor/battery charger.

Panasonic “Ramsa” Audio Mixer $160
Model WR-M10-120V AC 60Hz .15A
A Post Production house gave this to me because they were upgrading their equiptment. I have never used it but have plugged it in and it does work. I am not an Audio guy so please don’t ask me questions about how it works or if it does “this or that”. If you are an audio/sound guy or DJ then you know what this is and what it can do.

Sony CVM-1271 Monitor $150 each
Trinitron Color Receiver/Monitor-120V 50/60 Hz 90W max
I have three of these I got from a Post Production editing house that was upgrading and didn’t need them anymore. I pluged them all in and they work fine. These monitors are mostly used in T.V. master control rooms or video editing. This would make a good viewer for an indie editor working from there home or small office.

Sony VO 9800 - Close to New

4/10/10

I bought it for production on a Sam Sheppard movie that unfortunately got yanked from the composer... in the 90's. Used it once to transfer the dialog and SMPTE and never used it again. I took a sabbatical and the world changed to digital. OOPS.

I realize this is a tough 'sell' item, but thought someone might have use for parts or legacy use (archiving or need to playback 3/4" video). I welcome ideas for schools? Libraries? etc.

ASIAN ACTRESSES AND ACTORS WANTED

6/20/10

We are putting together a crew for a film and we need some talent. The shooting is planned to take place approximately July 7th or July 14th (however, we are flexible) and will take a week or two.

The following is a synopsis of the movie. Sleep for Days

Silicon Valley, a repository of dreams and desires, a false light attracting masses of the hopeful, who extend in every direction down El Camino Real.

In the endless dream of the California suburbs, a young man is drowning. Reality has become divorced from life, shrouded in a haze of materialism and ignorance. Submerged in the comfort of a steady job and steady love, Simon attempts a metaphysical escape -- an escape from the only reality he has ever known. Like a plant plunged into the darkness, he yearns for the light of his awakening.

Our film is an attempt to depict the insular, pervasive atmosphere of the Bay Area, which shapes the consciousnesses of those who live there. It portrays the collective dream and the tenuous journey to consciousness undertaken by one young man.

Simon (22), a recent college graduate working his first job at a silicon valley tech firm. Born and raised in the bay area. Outwardly normal (that is to say, indifferent) he harbors an innate poetic sensitivity which leads him to question his surroundings and finally leave. Average to thin build. Asian American.

Angela (23), his girlfriend. Independent and well-adjusted, an aspiring fashion designer with material ambitions. She is intelligent and understands the system: she accepts it and the dream it entails. Outwardly, somewhat cold and rational but inwardly lonely and tender. Asian American.

Film Information: 30 minutes
Shooting Dates (TBD): One week of intense shooting in early to mid July. Second week for pick-up shots and dialogue recording. Format: HDV1080P. Set: Non-Union/Indie.

Pay/Perks: This will be an unpaid shoot, but good food and drink will be provided for everyone working on the project (No pizza and soda here!!) Transportation fees (gas, toll, etc) will be covered. Possible accomdation on set.

This film is a joint project between a group of film students (NYU/RISD) and a photographer/producer from Hong Kong. Depending on the final product, we are hoping for entry into several film festivals next year. Amateurs and those with no acting experience are welcome.

Our influences include Wong-Kar-Wai, Fassbinder, Gus Van Sant, and Ingmar Bergman.

Casting for TV Sitcom

5/23/10

Lycanwood Productions is casting for a new TV Sitcom (and possibly Web) Series called, "Everything Ben." A local TV station has already shown interest. We are casting now for the pilot. Episodes will be shot in the Modesto area.

The Leading actors must be ABLE TO COMMIT TO 13 EPISODES ... This means 13 (30-min) episodes, weekly shoot - about 1-2 hrs/week. If you cannot do this as a Lead, please do NOT apply. Supporting cast must be available for varying amount of shoots, from 1-2 to several.

"Everything Ben" is an ongoing sitcom about an avid filmmaker named Ben Keller. Ben's earnest attempts to make a great film get continually thwarted, including by his distraction to win over a local coffeehouse girl.

BEN KELLER (20's). LEAD ROLE: Ben is our main character. He is an aspiring filmmaker and an avid cinephile, what some would call a "pop culture geek" knowing quite a bit about the subject. His obsession with trivia has created minimal experience with women. His friends Danny and Chuck give him a lot of flak for it. Ben is the "straight man." His comedy comes from his sarcastic, subdued humor similar to Jason Bateman in "Arrested Development" or the style of Michael Cera, a reactive sense of humor to situations and his friends.

DAN "DANNY" RYAN (20's). LEAD ROLE: Danny is Ben's best friend since they were kids. Danny is as eager and involved with filmmaking as Ben, though unlike Ben, it's due to dreams of fame and the plethora of women that comes with it. Danny is more comfortable with women than Ben and is always trying to get Ben laid, so Ben will forget his ex-girlfriend. He is confident, but sometimes that confidence hides his insecurities or what he doesn't want people to know. Danny is similar to Vince Vaughn's character in "Swingers." He is a fast talker. He likes to get everything out at once, almost as if he is trying to keep the conversation at a pace, which helps him pitch things and boast his confidence. He can be an introspective guy at times and sometimes moody.

KATIE FERGUSON (20's). SUPPORTING ROLE: Katie is a girl that works at the local coffee shop that Ben and Danny frequent. She is also their schoolmate. Ben has a thing for Katie, but Katie doesn't really know Ben other than a customer. She is a nice, even keeled woman that does not show her humorous side until later in the series. She is attractive and that makes Ben sometimes fall short in what to say.

DUANE GILBERT (20's). SUPPORTING ROLE: Duane is Katie's college boyfriend who has had a "privileged life." He's been a bully to Ben since they first met Ben in high school. Duane is very full of himself and thinks that he can do no wrong. Unbeknownst to Katie, he has a roving eye and tries to hookup with any girl he sees. Duane puts on a good front, but Ben knows better and hopes to reveal this to Katie.

WEDGE ANTILLES (30's-40's). SUPPORTING ROLE: Owner of the coffee shop. He does not appear in person in this episode, but is mentioned and shown in some pictures. Will appear in person later episodes, but photographs and commitment needed for pilot.

LITTLE BEN (approx 5-7). PILOT: Ben as a young boy, used for a flashback sequence in this episode. May be in future episodes.

BEN'S MOM (late 20's to early 30's). PILOT: Used for the flashback sequence for little Ben. May be in future episodes.

NARRATOR: The voice over, who moves the story forward in all of the Ben episodes. Male or female. We'll send more details regarding auditioning for this later. Send vo sample link for now.

* Please send a headshot along with your resume to kaira.sf@gmail.com .
* In the subject field, write, "Everything Ben: [name of character(s) you wish to audition for]".

* If we are interested, we will ask you to come to a taped audition in Modesto in June.
* If you don't find a character that f

Table Read

4/26/10

From Jamis Jochim: I'm running an 80-hour charity podcast next week (http://tropicalreliefpodcast.info). As part of the need to fill time, I'll be doing some table readings of unproduced scripts and I need actors for them. A number of parts are available for each script, and will be filled on a first-come-first-serve basis. I'm trying to set up a number of actors/actresses ahead of time to avoid having people do multiple voices. There are a wide variety of roles available, from teenagers to older individuals, and you wouldn't even need to leave your home to participate. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! Jamais

"Edgar Floats", a new crime-drama TV show, is now casting principle roles for its pilot episode which films this April.

This series will be about a police psychologist who becomes a bounty hunter with his ex-wife. "Edgar Floats" will be written by Rand Ravich and directed by Jace Alexander. The program will premiere in Fall 2010. The show is being produced by Rand Ravich and Far Shariat for Ravich-Shariat Productions.

MALES Roles:
"James Benton", any ethnicity, 18 - Mid 20s. James is a scruffy, nervous, and tough guy who lives by himself in a rough part of San Pedro. He is also a resourceful criminal fugitive who is on the run from the police. When a pizza delivery man knocks on his door late at night, James cautiously opens the door to tell him to go away. But it turns out that this pizza delivery man is actually a Fugitive Recovery Agent in disguise who has come to get him.

"Darren Gibbs", Caucasian, 20s. Darren is a mentally-unstable and jittery young man who is addicted to crystal meth. His father Bob is also a wealthy professional criminal. Darren is confronted by Edgar Floats in a park about a drug deal, and Darren gets into a fight with Edgar and runs away. Edgar tries to chase after him but is not able to catch up.

"Jesus", Latino, 20s - 30s. Jesus is a tough and focused Fugitive Recovery Agent who works for Breakey Bail Bonds. He is very brave about going after fugitives and is not afraid to get hurt. When he is trying to arrest a fugitive named Jenkins, he gets stabbed by the man's wife. But Jesus still remains professional on the job even with his wound.

"Timmy", any ethnicity, 20s. Timmy is a casual meth user and a good friend of Darren Gibbs. When Darren goes on the run, Edgar questions Timmy about his whereabouts. Timmy is nervous but does not give up very much information.

"Mason", any ethnicity, 30s - 40s. Mason is a brash but dedicated Fugitive Recovery Agent who also works for Breakey Bail Bonds. He works alongside his trusted partner Jesus to track down criminals. Mason has clearly been around the block in life. There is almost nothing that will upset him or cause him to lose his cool on the job. He has a "Dirty Harry"-style personality----calm and collected under pressure but always ready to fight back.

"Eugene Tunick", any ethnicity, 30s - 40s. Eugene is a colleague of Edgar's at the LAPD Psychological Services unit. He is a very inquisitive psychologist and has a lot in common with Edgar. When Edgar tells him that he is considering moonlighting as a bounty hunter, Eugene questions the wisdom of the decision. Eugene is very rational and tends to overanalyze his own feelings.

"Bob Martin", Caucasian, 40s. Bob Martin is a wealthy and intimidating criminal boss who is on the run from the police. He drives a BMW and takes Edgar hostage in his car while he is being chased. Bob's son is a meth addict and also a criminal drug dealer. Despite the criminal life that he leads, Bob is genuinely concerned about the well-being of his son.

"Lenny Chaskes", any ethnicity, 40s. Lenny is a longtime employee of the Los Angeles Police Department, and he oversees the LAPD Psychological Services Unit where Edgar Floats has worked for many years. Lenny is a self-disciplined, somewhat bland bureaucrat who makes sure that Edgar is doing his job properly.

His daughter Sandra was once married to Edgar Floats. Mr. Breakey has deer heads hanging up on his walls and photos of himself arresting fugitives.
