I'm asking the impossible here but it's worth throwing out a line.
I'm a startup company and I've got 3 weeks to put together the videography for this week long event. The show will require 2 camera's for shooting specific riders (orders) and possibly a third for general event coverage. If you or someone you know is interested let me know. It's brutal, not for the light of heart. The show is at the Western National Events Center in Denver, June 5-9.
Requirements:
1. Need not know horses, but knowledge would be a plus.
2. Must be able to follow a work flow. The process is important as mistakes are costly and we're crunching out DVD's all day. You'd be given assignments sometimes via radio headset to shoot certain riders (they all wear numbers.) That's about it really, but you will need to be on your game.
3. Must be availible to be there from 7am to 9pm. Long hours.
4. BYO own camera and tripod. This implies you know how to use them.
No, seriously I need people who know how to white balance, frame their shots, etc. Fluid tripod is a must. You're shooting zoomed in from a distance on horses that range from walking to galloping and everything in between. Lots of pan and zoom maneuvers.
5. Editing knowledge a plus, but I'll be doing most of that.
The pay is up in the the air but I'm negotiating for 150-200 a day. I know I know that's brutally low, but horse show videography is underappreciated. I'm trying to raise the bar with my company, but to do this I have to start somewhere. I need people willing to bust a little butt. I guess what I'm hoping to get are a couple of folks who are just starting out and want experience, but who aren't totally green. People love the work I've done so far and I have more jobs than I can handle. This show is huge though. The big mama. If you need some extra cash and aren't doing anything send me an email.
The rough workflow is:
a. customers order their shots at the front kiosk
b. camera shoots rider in those events (position in the arena will be static, you don't need to move around. It's not difficult, just precise)
c. camera dumps footage to hard drives (ideally you've got a Mac laptop [or PC with software that makes quicktime movies] we can capture to, or a firestore, or a memory card) but I can do mini DV captures just as well, it just takes more time and effort, I've got a DSR11 deck to capture)
d. editor puts footage into premade FCP project template and tweaks, exports to mp2, imports mp2 into premade DVDSP template and tweaks builds and burns.
e. customer gets DVD and everybody wins
