Craigslist is chock full of great work... look here...

Pretty funny. 1K budget and they want the DP to have 3 prior features shooting 35mm.
30 day shoot too.

Ummm, I'm not a DP but I don't think that'll cover the beer let alone any pizza .
But hey man, it's an opportunity to get stuff on your reel. <- :) (scarcasim)
 
I love that the DP needs to have three previous features on 35mm, but they're shooting on an iPhone 4 (which the DP needs to supply).
 
I'd laugh it it wasn't so true!

"Compensation: Credit, Copy, Pizza...Pride"

That had to be written by a free-lancer, with a sense of humor!
 
I almost think someone should contact these out-of-touch posters and invite them to this thread for a little chit chat...see what they were thinking when they wrote that listing...

I just always assume they are young, incredibly naive film students. But, there are a lot of other 'out-of-touch' veterans around...
 
After re-reading, and going by the fact they have all previously worked together several times and are probably friends, it sounds like they are in a mad scramble to find somebody because their friend Joe who had all the neat-o gear got a real job offer.
 
Awesome. It's a bit of a niche joke, I'm sure there are naive people reading that post and being amazed that features are shot on phones these days.

The mere fact that they are shooting on the iPhone 4 because it's "the flavor of the month" should be the big red flag. Sheesh...
 
WOW..can't wait to spend 30 whole days of my life on hold and put off any potential high paying jobs such as commercials,music videos etc and also drive my lighting truck there everyday especially since Manhattan is so truck friendly for parking. Oh And how can i pass up the gas prices,since they are so low now.....lol (complete sarcasm).iphone 4 haaaa..lol
 
At a certain point you start to figure that some folks have nothing better to do than sit around composing joke CL ads...
 
^Ha ha ha!! Man, that's pretty sick! I don't think I'd be able to fit that in my giant lighting truck I've been driving around all day.
 
Without rails, a follow focus rig and matte box no one will take your iPhone seriously as a piece of professional hardware.
