Another classic Craigslist ad...

ohhh mannn, someone please give them a call and prank them in the bad way
someone do please before I do, I am starting to really get pissed off with these dumbasses
 
I love this line, "And you will work with 4 up and coming producers that will never take advantage of you."

The horror.

I think the posting is satirical in nature. They say they'll show it to every produce in Hollywood both living and dead and there is a smilie down at the bottom.

Yeah... The more I look at it, the more I'm thinking it has to be a joke...
 
craigslist is like the call of the sirens, you can't resist checking it every day in hopes for that perfect gig but 99% of the time you just get frustrated/depressed after reading all the horrible posts on there
 
I'm pretty certain that post is a joke.
Especially given the 'smiley' at the bottom.

And the line "DP must have 23 different lights"
:)

VIPER - GENESIS - REDONE


Do you own one of these cameras?

If not, do you own a Varicam or a F900?

Did you spend a long time saving money to invest in your gear?

Are you talented?

Is this what you want to do in life, DP?

Well then you're our PERRRFECT candidate! We are a team of four exciting producers who have one of the best spec-reality-off the wall-thriller scripts ever written! We are shooting this Sunday, November 18 (12-14 hours) and are looking for a talented DP!

Please see if you meet the criteria,

DP must own camera
DP must have insurance
DP must have tripod, no exceptions!
DP must have a HDCAM deck
DP must have won an award at some point
Bonus Points if you have a 4k projector
DP must have a grip truck
DP must have 23 different lights w/ spare bulbs
DP must know how to light a green screen
DP must have a positive attitude
DP must show up on time!


So $MONEY$, $MONEY$, $MONEY$... How much am I going to make on this you ask? Answer, when the time comes, a fortune!

Right now we're paying for this spec out of our own pockets so the pay isn't too high, say $50? This will look really great on your reel though and it will be seen BY EVERY EXECUTIVE IN HOLLYWOOD LIVING AND DEAD! And you will work with 4 up and coming producers that will never take advantage of you.

;)

lol great stuff.

my fave "Must have won an award."

i can see it now. "Sooo, you won an Oscar, awesome, here's 50 bucks. peace"
 
That's hilarious. It's clearly an anti-ad satire of the those all-too-common craigslist ads. Every a$$hole and his brother think they're producers and they pollute the whole community by leaving a wake of screwed cast, crew, and other people they burn. If there's any backlash against those jerks--it's richly deserved.
 
that's pretty obviously an ad but it's one of the better, funnier ads I've seen. Hilarious. "Must own tripod" lol
 
It was funny, for sure, but the line that had me was "DP must have a grip truck" then about the lights.

It's either a joke, or some 13 year old that thinks he's a hot shot producer. I feel sorry for them if they're over the age of 18.
 
Striking comedy writer on Craigslist!
