Need help in filming short 2-4 minute videos

As a practicing Denver Realtor, I am looking for assistance with the following project:

I am interested in posting short 2-4 minute videos on my website featuring various Denver neighborhoods. I need help in filming and posting the videos.

I would probably write and star in each video. I would like to negotiate a flat fee for each video and I envision producing at least 10-20 neighborhood videos.

Sincerely,

TripTelevision Intern Opportunity

My name is Kulin Strimbu and I am the President and founder of TripTelevision, an online video production and marketing organization for the travel industry. We have recently decided to add an intern program to our production team which will allow us greater opportunity to capture a critical mass of local destination footage for top U.S. Tourism destinations. We are based in Colorado and are very focused on the mountain attractions as well as Denver as a destination. We are looking for five students who have solid skills in complete production work – filming, editing, and complete post-production (including graphics). Our goal is to collect footage from local destinations, retailers, excursions, regional/national parks, and local entertainment so we can properly represent what there is to see and do to the online travel consumer. We will assist in coordination with the local establishments as necessary and we will also provide training videos that will be used as a ‘style book’ reference point. This work will be seen on Expedia, Travelocity, USA Today, and other major online travel media channels. We will also be adding California, Hawaii, Nevada, New York and Florida if you know of any schools in those areas who might be interested in this type of program, I would appreciate the referral.

This is our first effort to create an intern program so if you are interested in learning more or discussing our needs in more detail, please let me know. If this is not something your establishment does, I certainly appreciate your time and consideration and wish you all the best.

Warm regards,

Kulin Strimbu
