I just saw this one on CL:

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/cwg/3136902330.html

Offering $100/day (with gear!!) for thirteen days. They lost the original mixer (I wonder why...) and now are scrambling to replace them. I've sent notes in the past pointing out their poor decisionmaking, but have obviously never heard back from them. I wonder if it's even worth it...

I'm an award winning director in pre-production for a 3M film with one name actor attached.

While this feature is being organized, as a creative outlet, I'm directing a no-budget Funny or Die tomorrow from 8:30 a.m until noon.

Everyone is volunteering their time because the quality of the creative on this Funny or Die is outstanding. My DP has over 25 years experience

and there will be some motion tracking (special effects) in this piece. I need a sound person with experience hiding lavs in a car, as all of the

dialogue comes from inside 2 cars. They will be stationary in a parking lot, and, at times, driving very slowly in the lot.

Please send an email with your experience and only submit if you are willing to volunteer on this project. If we get along well, I'll bring you

on in some capacity for the feature.

" .I've won awards in Texas, Canada, and Los Angeles. It's all on IMDB. I've directed shorts and one feature (all get into fests and win). Right now I'm in pre-production for a 3M dollar film with one name actor attached. It's taking months to get everything organized and this shoot tomorrow is a fun way to be creative in the midst of all that is involved to get a major feature made.

a major feature at $3M ??

Here's my IMDB:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2420359/

Actor, Director, Writer, Producer, DP, Editor

hmmm... has he ever been paid for any of these jobs

And a link to ROPE, the last film I made, which got outstanding reviews:

http://www.imdb.com/...b/vi2887425305/

Best, Ian "

directed shorts and one "feature", but still not paying people....sounds to me like a serial abuser.

and if you "get on", he'll be glad to abuse you some more.

err...

no thanks >:(

My eye was immediately drawn to this statement when I followed the link in the CL listing:

"IMDb is not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of the contents of this page, which have been supplied by a third party and have not been screened or verified."

I'm a little suspect of someone with 8 credits beginning in 2005 as well. But that's just me.

Best regards,

I'm inclined to get a hidden camera, and have somebody show up with 6 SM58's and long cables, and say, "well, I have six microphones -- you didn't say anything about having to hide them or for them to be wireless! And I have an 8-track recorder from 1978... we just can't record all 8 tracks at the same time!"

That's a Funny or Die segment I'd really watch.

...bevy of beautiful girls...

More likely a bunch overly made-up teenagers with ambitious parents. If the 'model agency' is planning to scam production personnel with this kind of a deal, they've probably told the girls "pay to enter our contest and the winners get to be in a professional tv show!"

And a third-string hotel is providing 4-per-room lodging for the promo value... and a Subway-wannabe is providing Pilchard Salad sandwiches...

For "one of the largest modeling agencies in europe", google sure had a hard time finding them. I eventually found their website noahbroadcasting.tv... exactly one static stock photo, with the words "coming soon 2012"...
