I am looking for one or preferably two camera operators for this Friday night to film portions of a funeral service for my four-year-old daughter, Carmen, who passed away this past weekend. You can read more about the funeral details here: http://www.beautifulcanvas.org/2010/08/home-4/.
The shoot will be fairly basic. There will be two different speakers in one fixed position (behind a podium) as well as a couple of singers, one of whom will have a guitar and piano accompaniment. I'm not looking for anything fancy (although I do want it to look as professional as possible: focus, composition, etc.), just basic coverage of the two speakers and the singers so we can share it with friends and family who cannot make it to the service.
The service starts at 7:30pm and I would want you to be at the church by 6:30-6:45 to review the service details and setup the cameras, etc. The service itself should only last about 45 minutes. You would have no responsibilities afterward unless using your own camera and I would simply want the raw footage.
As funerals are already quite expensive, I would really prefer a volunteer (ideally, two volunteers to get slightly better coverage) and would be glad to return the favor and help on a shoot or project of yours.
If you are interested or would like more information, please email me as soon as possible: dave@beautifulcanvas.org. You can also PM me here but email would be better. When you email, please let me know if you have a camera, etc. or if you would need one.
I really appreciate your consideration.
