Wedding Videographer Needed, pays $250 - $300

I am looking for a videographer for our wedding on August 7, 2010 in Estes Park, Colorado at Estes Park Condos Venue. Their website is www.estescondos.com.

It would be a 2-3 hour coverage, and it is a great opportunity as the scenery there is just amazing. I am not sure as to how much we would pay for this service, we will have to figure out all the logistics. I was thinking around $250-300.

It will be a pretty good size wedding with a full bridal party including Jr Bridesmaids and Jr Groomsmen. The colors will be black, white, and red. Very classy and elegant. I don't like anything funky. I just want a beautiful video of our day, so I am sure there will not be a lot of editing, because all that I really want is just video with best moments of the day.

Let me know if you have any questions. I check my e-mail very frequently, so it is the best way to contact me. If we find someone who is interested, I will provide my phone number. Thank you very much

Volunteer Filmmakers Needed

The Awareness Initiative (http://www.awarenessinitiative.org) is recruiting volunteer filmmakers to help produce short documentaries for nonprofit organizations in the Denver area. The organizations we partner with are considered Social Innovators. They are combatting chronic social issues in an innovative and effective way.

In addition to being distributed on our website (soon to be re-launched) this documentary will be a key marketing tool for the organization it profiles and viewed all over the country.

We are looking for filmmakers of all experience levels. Please send a resume or bio and a short note about why you would like to get involved to info@awarenessinitiative.org

Need Director and Crew for Reality TV Show ASAP!

Need a second camera operator for April 5 and 6

I am in need of a second camera operator for an interview shoot for a feature-length independent documentary film on both April 5 (Monday) and April 6 (Tuesday). Since we are independent we don't have the funds to pay a veteran camera operator the usual rate, but we can offer the position to one of your current students or recent grads who are looking for this sort of experience to put on their resume. We would prefer using the same second camera operator both days, if possible.

The camera operator will be using a Canon D7 camcorder, so some prior experience with that model is preferred. The idea is to have this student follow directions from the DP, who will be operating a Sony EX-3 and needs additional angles to give the editors something to work with. The DP will take care of all lighting, the audio tech will record all sound, and the PA will take care of all runs, so this person's duties are reserved to operating the Canon D7 only.

We can offer the camera operator $100/day for each of two days, along with a free lunch and an end credit. The film itself is titled "Seventh Generation" and is all about how climate change is an on-going menace in our world today, especially for those living in the developing world. It is intended to be an answer to the failed Copenhagen conference, to remind the world that this is a problem that won't go away on its own and therefore demands our immediate attention.

Our crew will be shooting these sit-down interviews in Boulder, CO on both days, so the camera operator should have an operational vehicle in order to meet us there. Exact locations and times will be provided as the date nears.

Thanks for the help.
