Editor

12/2/11

I'm looking for a film editor that has experience in editing feature length films. If you can think of any, send them my way. Below is the synopsis for the film I'm producing.

You and Me and the Fruit Trees is a character driven documentary that interweaves compelling stories of child sexual abuse CSA, statistical facts and the people behind the movement to end CSA to provide a balance view of this endemic. Through each story we see how society's inability to effectively address child sexual abuse impacts not only individuals, but whole communities and society at large. Each character faces a continuing struggle between being a victim and being strong, between living with trauma and being present, between oppression and freedom, and between the stigma and publicly sharing their story.

I've got a bit too much on my plate at the moment and have decided to help a client find someone to takeover his project. It's a fine project--really pretty low key/hands off/interesting--I've just got too much other stuff going on. I was approached about a 5-day job but this is more than that. Erik Almas is a big deal commercial photographer who is producing a "How to become a big-deal commercial photographer" 2-disc DVD set. (http://www.erikalmas.com/) They want to ship these out by about December 8. Most of it has been rough cut by another editor but needs more b-roll, polishing, music, sound mix. Not the most intuitive organizational system in place, but workable. All can be done on your own system, they will pay a good corporate-level rate and they will leave you alone with it--Erik is a busy guy. He just wants the DVD's ready for Christmas Shoppers.

Contact: lizcanning@mac.com. Can start ASAP.

Focus Puller and Gaffer for short film with Canon 5D Mark II

7/27/11

We are looking for a focus puller and a gaffer for a short film we will be shooting most likely on saturday august 13th. We will shoot with the Canon 5D. As you know the Canon 5D has a very shallow depth of field so focusing is critical. So we are looking for a good focus puller used to work with the Canon 5D. The good news is that the short film is all about dialogue and little movement, it is really people talking with each other in a space. However we have quite a few shots with gentle small dolly movements and a few shots following the action of the character slowly. So really the film is nothing complicated but the 5D focusing is. So we need you to be used to manage with the very shallow DOF of the Canon 5D. The shoot will last between 1 and 2 days. We will also give you Food as well as credit in the film, finished film and prod photography.

Compensation: Negotiable. If you are interested please contact us, Soni

PREMIER PRO CS5 TUTOR NEEDED

7/27/11

Company; San Francisco Maritime NHP and Museum (National Park). Job; Video tutor (app. 3 hours). Pay: TBD

I'm the photographer at SF Maritime National Historical Park. My office is currently at Ft. Mason. We are in the midst of a huge exhibit for our Visitor Center and I've been tasked with a kind of Power Point/Premiere video with elements of Ken Burns treatment for a few one to one and a half minute presentations in a video monitor in the exhibit. What I am in need of is a single tutor who is familiar with Premiere Pro CS5, who can sit next to me at my desk and teach me the tools I need to fulfill the job. I have been a photographer for 23 years here, am familiar with computers and though mainly self taught, I took a BVAC video class 7 years ago. I'm somewhat familiar with the software (the timeline, transitions, some panning and zooming etc.). Each video would be comprised of between 10 and 25 "slides" composed of images from our collection plus text. Unfortunately, this is an ASAP request. Students are encouraged to respond. Also, as we are a government facility I'll need a job cost approximation that I can submit to my boss as the estimate for funding. Please write with inquiries and we'll exchange phone info. Thanks, Tim Campbell

Makeup Artist for Low Budget Indie

7/25/11

I have an ultra low budget family film that I am going to shoot in San Jose, August 15-27th. I need a Makeup lead and probably her/his assistant for aboug 12 days, Mon-Sat with Sunday's off. As an ultra low budget feature our budget is low, but please note that this movie has been sold and will see a life, at least in the foreign markets, then back to the USA probably as DVDs. I have $2000 for the lead and only 900 for the assistant. Most days you would only be doing makeup on about 4 people a day, but there will be two days where that total might be as many as 9 people. I also have $300 for makeup supplies.

STORYBOARD ILLUSTRATOR NEEDED FOR SHORT BIZ PROJECT

7/25/11

We're a boutique market research and strategy consultancy, and we have a need for a storyboard illustrator for a current project. We're building user personas for a major report, and we'd like to have storyboards to include in our final deliverables for product designers and marketers to see their consumers brought to life in real-life scenarios. This is for a major technology brand and should be a fun project.

You'll likely be given some very rough storyboards that I'll draw (that will be laughably terrible), and then you'll do your magic re-creating them to make them sing. It will likely be a "Meet Doug. Here's a day in his life" kind of thing. And you'll illustrate maybe (just thinking out loud here) 8-10 slides/panels for him. And then do the same for another 1 or 2 personas. Make sense? If you've done this before I'm sure it'll be pretty straightforward.

If interested, please drop an email to: andrew.casden@bassett.tv letting us know the following:
A) Your name
B) Where you're located. While you'd likely be able to work from home or whatever, we may want someone who can come into our SF office here or there.
C) How you'd prefer to be paid and what your rate is for this kind of work; hourly/daily/lump-sum? etc. We do have a budget for this, but I can't guarantee that we'll necessarily pay on the preferred terms. For example we'd probably prefer to pay an agreed-upon lump sum fee for the boards, but if you strongly prefer hourly or daily we may be able to do that, provided you're willing to sign a contract guaranteeing delivery of the boards within a given time not to exceed 'x' amount of hours or you'll cover that time. By the same token, if we do lump-sum, we'll agree to the scope ahead of time and wont make you do multiple revisions or corrections without renegotiating the terms of the contract. Make sense?

Payment negotiable depending on quality of sample work provided by applicant artist and the relative difficulty of the individual commission. We also require full and exclusive rights to the finish product and a written statement that you will not display or exhibit the finished works.

D) Link to your website or some online demo of your work. (A must!) Anything you can share that's non-fictional (e.g. closer to what I described above) would be preferred. In other words - storyboards for graphic novels and fantasy movies is great but not quite what we're looking for.

Thanks! Bassett & Partners

This month I have some high paying corporate projects, but next month I could be shooting a web series for a non-profit client. I am looking for someone who understands the dynamic nature of project based production.

A positive, can do attitude is essential and I prefer if you are based in San Francisco. Feel free to check out my website www.justinbarker.tv

Experienced Field Sound Engineer and Boom Op - $355/day, 27-32 days total

6/1/11

Narrative Feature shooting around Oakland and SF.

Compensation:
• $355/day includes you, your boom op and your audio equipment. How that cash splits is up to you.
• Coffee, drinks, lunch, fuel for locations over 20 miles from SF/Oakland
• 2% of project profit (yes, I do realize that may seem unlikely - that's why there's cash)

Description: This is ultra low budget film. I have prioritized sound as much as possible to avoid ruining everything else with lousy audio. I realize this isn t a remotely fair amount of money for someone with your abilities or gear - but it is at least real money which will be paid on time. For what it's worth, you will be the highest-paid person on set. I'm not sure if you'll view that as a pro or con, but there it is.

A description of the film is on the website at www.is-movie.com

Timeframe:
• Shooting July 11 End of August, 6 weeks total, 5 days/week, includes shooting on weekends.
• 1 day of paid preparation time in June

Critical Notes:
• WE WILL HAVE APPROX. 10 NIGHTS OF SHOOTING.
• Due to location availability, we will need to work most weekends and take off days midweek.
• We will also SPEND ONE WEEK OUT OF TOWN, on a sustainable community near Boonville. Conditions will be akin to camping. If that sounds miserable, please don't apply. If it sounds like it could be interesting, please do.

Engineer must be able to fully manage sound on set. You had better know more about this than I do, but for clarity, this means being responsible for:
• All audio recording: Levels, data tracking, audio media, audio gear (incl. batteries).
• Boom operator hiring, supervision and training
• Mike selection, positioning, etc.
• Proactively obtaining ambiences and effects when conditions allow

Additional thoughts if you are interested: I do not expect to get a Skywalker Sound mix with these resources. I do not expect you to pretend like working on my film is your life 's dream. But I would like to work with someone who still enjoys the process of a creative, non-commercial shoot, who can teach us a bit about the craft, and who will be up to have some fun with the project. You will be given a huge amount of latitude with your decision-making, and hopefully the narrative will be compelling enough to inspire an interesting approach.

Apply to: Chris Edgette

Please send the following information to: hiring@is-movie.com
• Resume
• Work samples
• Working method requests/demands/comments, if any
• Equipment list
• If this looks like a possible fit, I will request references, but they are not necessary up front.

DP Wanted - Verite Experience

6/1/11

Feature doc shooting this summer in Berkeley. Looking for a camera person with documentary verite experience, with a strong visual eye, someone who notices the little things for cutaways or in the moment. Someone who can work without a lot of oversight during the shoot, who likes some freedom but is also a good collaborator and stays focused. A sense of science fiction is a plus. Shooting on HVX200 or something similar is also great. The bulk of the filming will be in and around a house in South Berkeley. The subject of the film is an organization with tech and futuristic aspects.

This is a low-mid budget shoot for 20 days total over 10 weeks in the summer starting in June. Dates are flexible and can work around the shooter's schedule to some extent since I expect they'd have other stuff lined up. We are waiting to hear from a bunch of grants and to do a crowdfunding campaign next month. The contract would be for payment within 120 days of delivery of final materials. I understand how these things can seem sketchy, so I guarantee crew will be paid regardless of the status of the grants.

There is a strong potential the shooter's material would comprise the bulk of the film and we could assign them DP credit. In my paid career I do film distribution and marketing work and we hope for this to be a nationally recognised project.

Documentary Filmmaker Needed

2/8/11

Documentary filmmaker needed to develop, write, shoot, and work with another already-hired editor for a possible feature or TV hour length non-fiction narrative.

The subject is a journey taken by an SF man breaking out of his life as a well-known lawyer and attempting to express and open the heart by performing a one-man show in Beverly Hills, and the trials and tribulations leading up to what could be a success or a disaster - emotionally, financially, and artistically.

The theater show is in full production currently, to be performed the last weekend of April. There are a lot of people behind this, it is a labor of love, and we would like the filmmaker to see it this way, as well. The theater crew consists of director, exec producer, acting coach, personal trainer, playhouse staff, and a camera crew for the actual performance. Other characters of "a day in the life" are other lawyers, children, judges, clients, and some historical content and personal history will be included, too. The filmmaker will be asked to write, direct, and shoot, and work with a non-fiction editor who is also on the theatrical production team.

Of course we think this could be film festival material, and we're looking for someone who is not necessarily the most acclaimed documentarian, but someone who has a real feel for the journey and the juxtaposition of the two separate phases of this man's life -- someone who is frighteningly well-organized, has real world experience, knows how to stick to a tight budget and still get things done, and has a concept of the gestalt of this project and the finished film product.

Presently, this is all not-for-profit, the filmmaker will be paid a flat rate, and producers/distributors are happy to give a percentage of any profit made in the future. Possibly good fit for a recent grad, or a team. We want to see coherent examples of your shooting and doc structure.

Qualifications: Completion of a coherent documentary as director/cam
Compensation: To be determined, flat rate

Please send resume, and a link to your reel. Please, please, no music videos, no sizzlers, and NO attachments, they will not be opened. Email a link to your reel and paste a resume as text to: anniefruit@yahoo.com

CINEMATOGRAPHER: $350 - $450 day rate

1/18/11

Introduction. Slanted Light is a visual ethnographic research company, which looks to surface emotional insights about social problems and people. Our mini-documentaries help inspire and inform designers to innovate better products and improve experiences. Since we believe people are best understood in their community, our method is rooted in cultural and visual anthropology, which focuses on understanding people by observation and interview. Our goal is to tell a captivating story, to communicate a singular emotional truth, to inspire design for social change. We do a combination of in-field work that includes in home interviews, observation BRoll, and storytelling for numerous websites and brands.

Our Cameras. We recently purchased two Canon 5Ds with three lens, 2 tripods, and a basic lighting kit. So I’m looking for someone who feels passionate about DSLRs, or at least eager to learn how to use them.

In terms of projects, we need someone who can situate and craft an interview scene, by choosing the right lighting and has a strong orientation to color and space. I should note that interviews are a two camera shoot, so you should feel comfortable managing two cameras.

In terms of BRoll, much of what we do is oriented around observation. So we’re looking for someone who has a curious eye, capable of framing and tracking with movement. Working quickly and precisely is key.

For this job a self-motivated cinematographer who believes in the integrity of their work is sought after and desired. We want someone who can take our videos to the next level after four years of building our business. 3 plus years of Experience or a solid education in film is preferred.

Please send a resume, your reel, and one paragraph about your passion for cinematography to info.slantedlight@gmail.com

Sacramento DP Needed

If you have some time in your schedule, want to do something fun and original, with a good script and good actors, I'd love to talk to you. I'm looking for a DP/Cinematographer looking to build his or her reel who can collaborate on an early Dec. shoot in the bay area/Sacramento. We have experienced, professional actors on board and a great crew of respectful, intelligent, motivated people.

The shoot is 6 days, dates TBD in the first two weeks of Dec., narrative dramatic.
Logline: In order to survive in his new job, Larry Burkheimer finds himself doing things he never thought he’d do.

We will of course feed you and reimburse you for travel if you are out of the area.

Premiere Pro Assistant Editor

10/31/11

Editor employed by a famous Marin County Film Studio, has just directed my first short. And I need editorial department support to get my vision on screen. The film is a zombie sci-fi hybrid of Plan 9 from Outer Space & Evil Dead and the final length should be about 8 minutes. While we worked with no budget, I was able to enlist the help of talented friends/ colleagues so the film has a lot of production value. The project was shot on p2 cards and is in loaded on an HP workstation at my home. We are cutting on Premiere CS 5. I have split up the editing with the DP (yes, it's the kind of production where one wears a lot of hats). We have started editing the footage before it was properly organized and now it's become a headache - trying to find clips etc. It needs to be organized correctly so footage can be efficiently found and cut together. My background is editing - I've work in Hollywood on big projects and know how to properly organize an editing project but I don't have the time to do it on this one. But I would enjoy showing someone how to set up an editing project – files in/out; working with a lined script; composer outputs etc. Any assistant editors with sound effects design and or green screen effects experience would be added bonus.

We are based out of south Novato. While there is no money, we have fun and eat well!
Apply to: Brett McCarthy, 53 Pacheco Creek Dr, Novato, CA 94949.


Art Department Assistant

10/28/11

I'm looking for an art department assistant(s) for an upcoming short film shoot. This particular gig is unpaid (for everyone), but if we hit it off, it will lead to paid gigs, as I am really in need of some sharp, creative help these days.

Skills needed: crafty, design, hammer-and-nails, research 'n' shop, problem-solving ....

This is a wildly creative job, involving among other things building a pink sea creature, and a "mudpuddle" big enough for a person to hide in. It's an out-there, irreverent fairytale for an established producer/director. I've worked with this crew many times and they are fabulous. The style/content might offend or delight depending on your tastes, so check out one of our previous shorts to see if you dig it:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150287088496898&set=vb.279088368767975&type=2&theater

We're shooting one of three days: either 11/4, 5 or 6, and prepping next week. It'd be great if you can do both prep and shoot, but if you can only do one of those we should still talk.

Videographer Wanted for 2-3 Hour Shoot for Music Video in November

10/26/11

I’m planning to enter a Producer’s Challenge through MMTB with a music video that includes three elements (like in the 48-Hour Film Festival). It will be a very short, easy outdoor shoot, since it includes a song I wrote and had recorded and there will be two actors who will act out the scenes described in the lyrics. It’s a country song about a guy who’s pleading with a woman to come back to him and be his wife. It’ll be an outdoor shoot with the actors for about an hour, plus some pick-up shots, there will be no lighting or sound. I was initially thinking I might shoot this myself with a SLR camera with video capabilities, but I’d rather work with an experienced videographer with a camera who would like to do this on a weekend morning or afternoon. I’ll arrange for the actors and editing. I’d like to shoot this Nov. 5 or 6th if the weather’s good; if not the 12th or 13th. It’ll be entered in this competition and shown with other entries, and then can be featured on other Websites, entered in festivals, etc. Email me with your contact information and link to anything you’ve done before at changemakersproductions@yahoo.com

Executive Producer

9/19/11

Executive Producer, in conjunction with a SF-based production company, is seeking a Director for the first episode of the web series "Tragedy Club". "Tragedy Club" is a mockumentary series documenting a group of amateur filmmakers trying to make a movie, and the mockumentary captures all the comical problems they encounter.

We'd like someone who is comfortable with the "mockumentary" aspect of shooting. Experience in that genre is a plus. Shooting of the episode will take place in the next few weeks. Ideally, we're looking for a committed individual who will complete the first episode and sign on for the remaining episodes and "mini-sodes". The production schedule for the entire project is slated to occur throughout the fall and winter.

This is a low-budget web series so payment is deferred. As a result of that, we're looking for someone who is passionate about the project and looking to gain experience/resume-builder. A dedicated individual is going to win out over someone with an extensive resume but is a flake.

If interested, please reply with a brief description including your name, contact number, and resume. Please include a link to a reel or samples of your work. We look forward to hearing from you!

PUZZLE HUNT NEEDS 2-MINUTE GREEN SCREEN VIDEO

9/1/11

We are creating "Back To Doctor When's Excellent Adventure," an immersive, puzzle-solving/ roleplaying game in which about 20+ teams of 5 people each will solve very sophisticated puzzles and interact with characters. Our game has a tongue-in-cheek time travel theme. Sort of an homage to “Back To The Future” and “Bill And Ted’s Excellent Adventure.”

One of the puzzles in the game will be a 2-minute video of our lead character superimposed into 12 short clips of old movies (sort of like Forrest Gump). But we don't have those skills in our group. Maybe you'd like to join in?

Sorry, no pay...every member of the team is a volunteer. However, we have budget for materials and equipment. It will be run twice over two separate weekends in March with 100+ people playing each time. We’d like to shoot before the end of the year; and have the finished product by the beginning of February.

Skilled Videographer (or 2)

7/25/11

I am looking for a generous and skilled videographer (or 2) with a good camera who would like to give some time to a good project -- helping people who have been traumatized by harmful experiences with religious indoctrination. We need your help documenting segments of a 3-day recovery retreat in Woodacre (Marin) coming up.

July, 29-Aug., Friday 7 pm - Monday 3 pm.

The place is beautiful and you would be most welcome to stay to relax and be well-fed.

Information about the program can be found at http://journeyfree.org/

I can be reached by phone: Marlene Winell, 510-292-0509 oR write to journeyfree.org@gmail.com
If you are interested, please contact me asap! Thank-you so much!

More about us: As a psychologist, I have been working with people who are struggling to break free from authoritarian religious indoctrination for 20 years and written a book called Leaving the Fold. Over time, I have come to name "Religious Trauma Syndrome" and find ways to educate people about this problem because many people are suffering and treatment approaches are needed. Journey Free is a small organization dedicated to providing information and programs for religious recovery.

A weekend retreat is the most effective way that we have found to help, since it is an intensive time of healing and growth with a group of people who really understand. However, for many wanting to attend a retreat, a common problem is financial, since people struggling to break free from a harmful religion are often making employment changes, going through disruptions in family and social support systems, and facing financial challenges. We really do our best to keep the cost down and make it affordable to whoever needs help. (No one makes any money doing this!). We also know that in the long term, an investment of this amount of time and money is well-worth it because more healing and growth is possible at a retreat than in months of therapy or reading many books. Yet it is still an expense. So, to keep going, we've launched an effort to create scholarships at a website that allows people to easily make donations in a creative and fun way. It's called "crowd-funding" and our project is at IndieGoGo

(http://www.indiegogo.com/Journey-Free-from-Religious-Trauma-Syndrome?a=186893&i=addr). For any contribution, you get cool perks!

More broadly, Journey Free is seeking to educate the public and the mental health community about Religious Trauma Syndrome. While huge numbers are leaving religion and many are resonating with this description of what they are going through, they are facing serious barriers of ignorance and resistance when they need help. In my article, I've explained that therapists are simply not trained to deal with it and most people still do not think religion can cause trauma. So I am working to raise awareness by publishing and speaking (and these are also not paid). Journey Free is a labor of love for all involved. Everyone has a recovery story to tell and a passion for helping others and getting the problem known.


Intern/Volunteer

7/25/11

I'm looking for an intern/volunteer who is interested in assisting in production and admin on films that bring awareness around social justice issues. Below are details on the current project.

You and Me and the Fruit Trees is a documentary film that tells true stories of healing and highlights extraordinary individuals and non-profit organizations in the social movement to end child sexual abuse (CSA). The film combines compelling stories of CSA, statistical facts and an argument for change to create awareness and present solutions. Through each story we see how society's inability to effectively address child sexual abuse impacts not only individuals, but whole communities and society at large. You can view the trailer at : http://www.traceyquezadaproductions.com/work-in-progress.html.

The film will be used, along with its web forum and post-screening workshops, as a training manual for state officials, organizations who work with youth, individuals and communities, in addition to being shown in schools, prisons and rehabilitation centers.

I look forward to hearing from you. If interested please contact me at info@traceyquezadaproductions.com

Sincerely, Tracey Quezada

One scene will require late 1940’s to early 1950’s fashions.

Final Cut Pro editor: Again, to assist me with editing. Motion Graphics – Sound Design experience would be a plus as well.

The budget will be miniscule but everyone will be well fed and copies of the scenes will be provided. It will also be a great opportunity to meet and collaborate with talented people and potentially trade skills and labor on future projects.

Need Several Make-Up Assistants

1/2/11

We are in the middle of pre-production on an independent feature. We will start filming the second week of January. The makeup department is in need of many volunteer assistants. Some makeup application experience is preferred. If you have some film set experience already that would be extremely helpful, but I am willing to work with the right person who has not been on a film set before. We have a wonderful crew and cast. The experience would be a wonderful step into the local independent scene. You would of course have credit on the film, you will be well fed and generally have a great time. This will be my fourth project with this production company. I look forward to welcoming you aboard.

Shoot in February

1/2/11

WORKING CLASS HERO: Producing excerpts from my feature screenplay, to be incorporated into a trailer to promote the screenplay as well as short for festival submission.

The project will shoot over 2-3 weekends in February.

The Director of Photography will manage all lighting, grip and technical issues, and will work closely with me, the writer-director, starting immediately. You will have a great deal of leeway and unlimited opportunity to utilize your craft, be the point person for all hands on set, and any and all PA’s, grips and other available hands, including myself and the AD will be at your disposal.

The gig would be perfect for a film student, in particular a senior cinematography candidate developing your reel. You should have a deep understanding of lighting, able to achieve a nice film look with a modest set of lights, flags and scrims. Budget is miniscule to non-existent for this project, but let me know what your needs.
