Blas Kisic Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Today's find: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cwg/4469352677.html SHOOTING A PARTY SCENE for a webisode on June 1st and need an excellent sound person. The production is small and so is the budget so we can only offer a day rate of $100/day. It is a SAG production and we are professionals. Please reply with your reel and if you are available. Production can be stressful enough even when everything goes right so please have a great attitude and be willing to work with a young crew. Thanks They have quite a few demands for their hundred bucks… That's really my main beef: there are plenty of low-ball productions that can't offer much, and I understand there's a place in the "market" (such as it is) for all kinds of budgets, but have some perspective! Who do you think is willing to read CL and actually apply to such shit jobs, award-winning mixers?! Rant over, BK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobbiesodd Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Sound mixers don't usually have a "reel" or do they now days-----a "reel" wouldn't mean much for production sound because of post production. J.D. That request is an immediate red flag for me. If anyone asks me for a "sound reel" I miraculously discover I'm already booked for their intended shoot dates.

Angelo Waldron Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Here is something for all the youths out there. I like the part about... "Once we're pulling income, then it will be divided appropriately." Team of College Grads looking for New Members (LA) compensation: Projects to expand body of work/Portion from contests and monetization Hey we're looking for responsible, mature, creative, and driven people to join our production team. We're a team of young, multi-faceted individuals that are looking for like-minded people that can contribute to the film/video making process. We have projects lined up and want to get started as soon as possible. THIS IS NOT FOR A SINGLE PROJECT OR SHOOT (emails referencing "the shoot" or "our next project" will be ignored. PLEASE SPECIFY "the team" in your email.) Ideal team members: ~ Those just out of college or those in the 20s-30s looking to expand their body of work ~ Can't get enough of film/video making ~ Want to create great shorts and projects that will lead to bigger work ~ Have worked professionally and have experience ~ Passionate and good team skills/communication ~ RELIABLE ~POSITIVE/Optimistic ~ Everyone has slow times, so this is also ideal for those that wish to keep busy with great people during those times. You will be joining a team, not a source of income, but the idea is to make shorts/vids that can be monetized on Youtube (our channel is already monetized from previous projects) as well as actively getting into commercial and video contests. Once we're pulling income, then it will be divided appropriately. We are considering all positions, so if you have a trade, don't hesitate to list it. Positions: GAFFER with own lighting equipment. DP with own gear (we have cameras, but it doesn't hurt to have more available). CAMERA OPs with gear (steadicam/dolly/quadracopter). COMPOSERS to create original music for shorts/vids. SOUND MIXER with own gear. MAKEUP ARTISTS with own gear. GRAPHIC DESIGNERS 3D EFFECTS ARTISTS If interested, please email us and include a link to your youtube channel, Vimeo, Soundcloud, past work, etc. and include a little about yourself, what gear you have, and anything else relevant. If you know anyone else that might be interested, please forward this to them.

"... for the same $90/day all in and flat..? and would anyone want to work with these serial abusers, anyway?? OK, I just got a request for students to work on a PGA project... (Producers Guild)... some names dropped include "Michael Douglas, Danny DeVito, Kathy Bates and..." no pay at all ... so I dig a bit and find out that the PGA is running this contest: " Make Your Mark " and it is a 24 hour shoot ( the PGA is only giving us 1 day to shoot (24) hours which is CRAZY but we have to do it. i have told everybody its a 24hour campout bring sleeping bags, pillows etc. we will probably start at 5am call time till we wrap but again we only have 24 hours...the gear: " This is the gear we have for the boom mics and recorder. its a ZOOM MODEL H4n x 2 so we will need TWO boom operators and a Utility sound person. total of 3 "...This is a VOLUNTEERS ONLY cast & crew - PGA strict rules. ), and 51 hours total from start to finished movie... Is this how PGA members make their livings ?? Is this how PGA members make their movies ?? BTW, this crew has a writer/producer/director, 2 more producers, " an Emmy award Winner DP and we will move at the speed of light. " but wait.... there is more.... " but since we have a Amazing concept after the competition we will use my directors cut to pitch academy award writer who we know for a TV show so there is a bigger Picture!

Stillweii Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 That PGA 51 hr festival is just a way to break in future apprentice producers and see who can cut it. Imagine we had a obstacle course for sound mixing. Just unplug every wire and leave it out at 6 am and go "well you have 5 channels available, wood floors, 5 Central AC units, picky actors, and were shooting at a race in time square in an hour ,good luck". Good luck to anyone wanting to be in the DGA. Big commitment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
