Jay Rose Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I was doing fine until "Must have access to film equipment..." So this Hollywood production company with successful producers can't provide equipment? I've heard of situations where interns have to pay to get the gig (not at my place, however)... but never had to also provide the gear.

Jack Norflus Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 A mixer (who will remain nameless) used to suggest accepting deferred pay jobs and not showing up. When they call to ask where you are, tell them you're deferring your labor. Not sure why you would do that. Fine they were asking for a low ball rate - you don't have to take it. Its bad karma and it's bad business. That person who you screw and pissed off today just might end up being some one important tomorow.

This is a passion project with small private backing being made by skilled, smart people who could all be making a better living doing something else. It's shooting under a SAG Ultra Low Budget contract, and everyone on set, regardless of experience, including all actors and all crew, is being paid the same: $125 / day. There will be up to 30 days of shooting, non-consecutively, over the next 5 months.

Since this shoot was confirmed fairly last minute, our usual sound mixer is unavailable, so this is an opportunity for someone with their own sound equipment (either lavs or a good boom set-up would work for this) and experience working it, to step up.

This is a non-commercial project, and no one is getting paid, so unfortunately if you are looking to make some money, this isn't the project for you. It is simply a great opportunity for all of us involved to create something we're all proud of, as well as gain greater exposure.If you're interested, please respond to this ad by e-mailing us your name, a little bit about yourself and your experience working sound, and a list of equipment you would be able to bring.Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you! do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems like the real deal, and you get your own private room in a cabin!! Hopefully it's not a "CABIN FEVER" remake, I just saw that, and it wasn't as good as the original, except for Gage Golightly, she is hot! reply Posted: a month ago ◀ prev ▲ next ▶ print Looking for a Sound Person for a short shoot in late September, 2015 (Fairmount, IN) © craigslist - Map data © OpenStreetMap (google map) compensation: $150/day I'm a producer* of short films in Los Angeles, that will be visiting Fairmount, Indiana to shoot a short form documentary during the James Dean festival in late September, 2015. My idea is a specific one, but with a relatively traditional doc approach where I would like to shoot interviews that will be scheduled, follow a couple of specific individuals, and capture B Roll, street interviews, etc. I have a Camera Operator/DP locked in already. I'd like to start the conversation now with a potential Sound Person (that might be local to the area) that I can hopefully lock in early for this project. This doc will be shot on a DSLR camera, and sound would be recorded separately. This will be for 4 guaranteed days in September: September 24-27 (Thursday-Sunday), with a possibility of a 5th day (for Monday, September 28th). We will not exceed 12-hour days. It would be a small crew: Yourself, myself, and the Camera Operator/DP. Potentially a PA. The goal would be to submit this short documentary for film festivals, with the hopes of garnering attention for it. Not for distribution. After festival season, it will simply be a gift for the fans of James Dean. I will offer: • $150/day • A room, if you would need housing. It would be in a shared cabin at a Camp in Fairmount. But it would be a private bedroom for yourself in the cabin. • Meals • IMDB (and film) credit • Copy, of course. I'm a pretty light-hearted, even-keeled guy. I'd like to make this a good time for all included, and work as a team to be successful at achieving this goal. I work and play well with others, and would look forward to meeting new people who are similar, and have a positive, new experience. If you're interested, please respond, answering the following: 1. Please send a link to examples of your work sound-wise. . . and a short bio on your experience. 2. What equipment can you bring to the table to capture sound? Preferred that you would have your own equipment, but not absolutely necessary. 3. How far are you from Fairmount, Indiana? Would you need housing for the duration of the shoot? If not (and you're close by), do you have reliable daily transportation to/from Fairmount? 4. Would you be available for all days mentioned above (preferable)? *This would be my second effort in producing. I'm still learning as I go along, but have learned quite a lot from my first project: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2854494/Here's the trailer for that, as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Z6khqv-CMwAnd here's my website for more on me: http://www.davidgarry.com Please reply (only) through the posting on Craigs List.
