Who: Grapple TV
What: 2007 California Pankration Championships
When: Call time is 10am. The promoter estimates, based on last years event and current pre-registration numbers, matches will end around 6:30pm.
Where: Santa Ana College Gym 1530 W 17th street Santa Ana, California
Why: Because filming an event where people are getting punched, kicked, arm locked, leg locked, and choked out is an interesting way to earn money.
On Sunday, March 25th, Grapple TV will be covering the 2007 California Pankration Championships in Santa Ana, California. We are looking for additional camera operators to help shoot this tournament.
Pankration, for those that don't know, is similar to MMA (mixed martial arts) with the exception that no strikes to the face/head are allowed. It is a very exciting and entertaining sport. For a sample of matches from last years event, please click on the link below (please note that Grapple TV was not involved with the coverage of last years event).

Grapple TV is best known in the grappling community for creating a 16 man double elimination invitational submission tournament known as the So-Cal Pro-Am Invitational. This tournament was held at the Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy in Torrance, California. Over 1/4th of the competitors in the Grapple TV created tournament went on to become MMA fighters in the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship).
For this event there are three paid positions that start at $350 based on a 10 hour work day as well as several non-paid positions for those that are looking to gain experience and develop a working relationship that could lead to paid shoots with us. We are looking for individuals who own high quality 3 chip SD cameras and a fluid head type of tripod who are skilled at keeping a good frame on fast paced action. Potential candidates must have a good attitude, a "get things done" type of work ethic, and (for the paid positions) must be able to provide us with samples of THEIR OWN work.
Please note that we will be having most of the camera ops shooting from two foot high, sixteen square foot (4' x 4') platforms - an FYI for anyone uncomfortable with doing that.
This event is highly unlikely to go past a 10 hour day, but if it does we will pay $75 per hour of OT for those working the paid positions. Food and beverages will be provided for all workers. $20 gas money will be given to those working non-paid positions.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in taking part in, or have questions, please contact me via e-mail at ellago@grappletv.com
Cheers,
Mike
