    Hi all,

    As the title suggests I'm looking for someone with the know how when it comes to lighting, who can get to Galway City with relative ease. We're making a 5 min short in a local bar and have 4 hours to shoot it.

    Our previous lighting guy has been offered long term work outside of Galway and it clashes with our fixed date (the 25th of January) and hence why I'm posting so close to the shoot.

    If you have the knowledge but no equipment fret not as we have a budget which I can discuss via PM. With regard a wage I must state everyone involved is working for free and the experience, including myself. However I will not rule out working something out, again via PM. I may be able to allocate a bit of the budget.

    If anyone is interested please contact me and I can go into more details.

    I think you'll enjoy the project in question.

    Thanks,

    Boo.

    I'm looking to have a comedy set recorded live asap, limited finance available so may suit a student. The gig will be in the midlands so would probably suit somebody based in Laois/Offaly or surrounding areas. PM for more details if interested.

    Good morning,

    Looking for extras to come down and help us out on a small low-budgeted short, shooting on Saturday 26th February.

    The film is a zombie-wrestling extravaganza and we need numbers to make up the zombie hoarde that takes on our main character. Unfortunately there is no pay as we are a very low budget film. But it'll be a couple of hours dressing up as zombie and shuffling around being scary so it should be fun! We are shooting in Dublin 12.

    If you are interested please e-mail me at deadevent1@gmail.com for all the details or message me on this forum.

    Sorry about the short notice.

    Any help would be hugely appreciated!

    What is FOLLOW ME?
    FOLLOW ME is an upcoming reality show which follows a person in their daily life. The person can be contacted via social networking sites by fans and viewers of the show.

    The Job
    The successful applicant will be required to be available to film in Dublin city at least one day per week for up to 4 hours. (usually less). It will then be your job to send send the editor the video so that the video can be edited and broadcast.

    Payment, etc.
    Unfortunately, as we, Hazy Entertainment, are only starting out in production we are unable to pay you. However, when money from our sponsors comes through (who we are negotiating with at the moment) you will then be paid. We will agree payment at a later date.

    More
    We require a motivated, not necessarily experienced person who can work a camera (note: you will need your own camera) and can film proceedings without interfering with the scene.

    More About the Show
    We are intending to have 1 episode of 30 minutes per week, for a series of 6 weeks, beginning in early April. The show will broadcast online and will be advertised on websites online such as Facebook, etc.

    We hope you decide to help us and further both ours, and your career, and work with us in more than this project in the future.

    Please send me a PM here if you are interested, thanks.

    Please note: you DO NOT have to be a professional or have ''high-tech'' or ''top of the range'' camera, any camcorder will do!

    Translation: You will not be paid?

    If you're negotiating with sponsors at the moment then surely you'll have that sorted by the time you start shooting in April and should know how much you can pay the cameraman.

    The dates are 12th to 16th of April in various Meath locations and 25-26th April in Fairyhouse Racecourse for the Irish Grand National.

    Own transport essential. No remuneration but some expenses will be taken care of.

    You say 'some expenses' - could you clarify which expenses you will be taking care of?

    What level of experience does the student need to have?

    Do you need this person to commit to the full 6 days of shooting?

    Hello AnonoBoy,

    "Some Expenses" mean we would cover travel expenses (unless you need to take a plane to join us!) and we would ensure you don't go hungry nor thirsty while helping us out... not a five star meal every day, but definitly something edible.

    As for the level of experience, we would like someone who is aware of what is involved in a typical film set-up, who has had the opportunity/interest to use a camera before. We assume that students who started at least last September would have the minimum required. The DOP is highly professional and willing to show you as much as possible while you give them a hand.

    As this is not remunerated, we do not expect people to be able to commit to the full 6 days. However, the best for us would be to have maybe one assistant for at least 3 days, or maybe half-days. We will make a decision when we look at all the applicants and their availability.

    I hope this answers your questions!

    Hi,
    I am looking for at least one camera operator (with own camera) to film a comedy show on the night of Monday April 4th in Dublin (city center).
    Ideally we would also like a sound recordist too (own gear preferred, but I can provide kit if need be).
    The show is due to start around 9. The improvers are due to finish up shortly after ten, so the crew are welcome to watch the other comedy acts afterward if they want. While we can't pay you, there's a pint in it for anyone who wants to help out.
    If anything, it will be a fun shoot.

    PM me or email me for more details or to express interest.
    My email is:

    Hi. I’m looking for a producer for a short comedy video. The setup’s fairly simple; it’s a conversation between 2 characters in a single location. The actors are already lined up & I have funding that I hope will be enough.

    If you’re interested please PM me for more info, or if anyone has any suggestions as to where might be a good place to look for a producer, I’d really appreciate it.

    Hi there.

    I've written a pilot for an independent sitcom which I plan to direct. It's a comedy that's somewhat similar (in style and in writing) to an american sitcom called "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia". If anyone is interested in the post of cinematographer for this job please drop me a line. Also a link to some footage you yourself have shot (relatively recently) would be desirable.

    Thanks

    P.S I will pay the cinematographer. It is however likely to be on a minimum wage an hour basis due to the tight budget involved.

    Casey Hughes

    Age: 22 - 27

    Height: 5’6 – 5’10 approx.

    Build: Average

    Character Brief: Casey is a fragile young woman, who in ‘The Lamb’ is struggling with an overly possessive relationship. She displays attention-seeking behaviour and relies on the attentiveness of others to validate her actions. She is very concerned with her appearance, although she is far more beautiful than she gives herself credit for. The role necessitates a confident and experienced actress, who will be required to interact with the camera in ‘home movie’ style scenes. The role will be paid, although the budget for the film is minimal. ‘The Lamb’ is based in Galway, and is scheduled to shoot over 2 days and one evening 24-26 May, although these dates are flexible.



    Please Contact thelambfilm@gmail.com with a CV, showreel and any relevant information.

    CASTING CALL:
    I’m looking for an actor to play a main part along with myself for an MA project I’m doing in London. I’m filming it in Cork between the 15th-23rd/24th of August. Unfortunately as with most small projects it is unpaid but you will get a copy of the movie within a few weeks - it’s going to look pretty professional as it has to meet certain standards for the University. After its marked and everything I’ll be looking to enter it into next year’s Cork Film Festival so I’m looking to get some exposure of the film, hopefully I’ll try and get this thing on IMDB as well.

    The character is a guy called Rochey and he’s aged between 19-27 but him and his friend still drink everyday by the 99 steps (in Blackpool). He’s a character, along with his friend, that thinks he’s really cool but in fact they are the opposite, they’re also not the brightest sparks. They wear tracksuits and caps but no rings or piercings (as they’re not that mad heh heh). These guys are caricatures of the Cork Sham so it’s a pretty slapstick script. Think a kind of a sham/scobe/etc. I’m looking for someone who has a thick cork accent or someone who can do a convincing thick Cork accent. This character is pretty much in every scene so whoever gets the part will need to be able to commit to the shooting dates as I’m only in Ireland for these dates and can only use the equipment, etc. on these dates.

    AUDITION DATES:
    Tuesday 19th of July 5 – 8
    Wednesday 20th of July 5 – 8
    The venue is TBC it’ll either be in South Parish or Firkin Crane. I will be allocating 15 minute slots for each person who is looking to audition. If you could email me your interest and I’ll allocate your time slots with the venue to follow. You can email me at ali.keane1@gmail.com
    Please remember that whoever gets the part needs to be available for the dates specified for filming.

    Our company is producing two low-budget TV shows for an Irish station and we're looking for crew from all disciplines. The positions are not paid, but the show will definitely be produced and broadcast so the job will provide excellent experience and something for your reel.

    The primary positions we are looking for are;
    Camera Operator - We are looking for someone who can frame a shot. We will be using Canon DSLRs and Canon AVCHD cameras. Training will be provided if you don't know your way around camera operation but show flair for framing and shot selection.

    Camera Loader/Grip - We are looking for someone to mark shots with a slate and keep shot logs and notes. The loader will be in charge of unloading footage from memory cards to a hard drive among other responsibilities.

    Production Manager/Assistant Director - We are looking for someone who is efficient, level-headed, pragmatic and who can multi-task and manage people and locations.

    Production Assistant - We are also looking for a production assistant who can fill in various roles, from getting coffee to recording sound. This role is perfect for anyone looking for experience in multiple elements of TV/Film production.

    If you are interested in any of these roles, please contact us at nmsfilms@gmail.com with a C.V. and a link to your reel or portfolio. Competence, enthusiasm and reliability is more important to us than experience.
    Again, all roles are unpaid, but our company intends to develop significantly in the next year which will almost certainly lead to paid work for those who work well within the team. When we get paid you get paid.

    Thanks!

    Hi Jeff

    We've been guaranteed a slot on Dublin Community TV (http://www.dctv.ie/) but we're going to show the pilots to RTE and Tv3 to see if someone bites.

    It'll either be a bit of craic and something for the reel, or a good foot in the door and a paid gig.

    Making coffee AND recording sound? :confused:
    If I may, I think you may be grossly undervaluing the importance of sound recording for your project. It's a bit of an insult to expect your sound recordist to make the coffee.

    Thanks, but I've got a Sennheiser ME66 and a zoom H2. It's literally a case of pressing the record button twice, pointing the mic at whoever's talking, and pressing the same button to stop recording.

    Tried and tested.

    Oh I have no interest in it myself, I was just wondering what channel was giving you such a low budget that you couldn't afford to pay anyone.

    Honestly if you think that's all a sound recordist and boom op do then you've got a lot to learn.

    Hi guys, I might be up for helping on this. I can definitely frame a shot and am looking for some video experience. Can you tell me something about the nature of the show you are making?

    Yes a sound recordist is pretty the same as a trained monkey. Sound is one if the most important aspects of any production and can make or break it. The unprofessionalism of your attitude would make me believe that you've never been on a professional shoot or that you are one of those people who thinks we can fix it in post.

    Have you ever been on a film set before?

    That's a ridiculous attitude. Sound is equally important to picture, there's no way around it. Says a lot that you also don't mind getting a camera op who's never used the equipment before.
