Hudson in San Diego Needs Partner!

J.R. Hudson

Spirit Animal
Hi everyone. Most of you know me here. Now I'll get to the point.

I am looking for a partner/collaborater/film junkie to hook up and pursue mutual goals and interests. I am looking for someone who can contibute and bring something to the table, so to speak.

I have a DVX100, Tripod (albeit 501) and a fast enough computer for POST. What I mean is, I'm not looking for someone to come along with nothing to offer and use my DVX100 for their own personal gain. Ideally you have your own DVX100 (NOT NECESSARY AT ALL) and/or other film accessories whether it be in LIGHTING, DOLLY, SOUND, NLE SOFTWARE etc)

What I am am getting at is, this is hard enough by yourself and with another person it is much easier and only serves to fuel forward momentum. I am 33. Married with child and own my own start-up company. What this means is that I am in NO position to drop everything and pursue film full-time. I have responsibilities that override my film passion.

What this also means is that, I am my own boss and can more or less have alot of freedom. Hopefully you are in a similar predicament.

My goals are simple. I want to DIRECT films. PERIOD. My influences are

Horror, Sci-fi, action-adventure, thrillers. I am not out to make a political statement. I want to have fun and entertain people. I have alot to learn in becoming a DP and Director but have the drive. You have similar goals. I want to find someone who can contibute equally not only in technical equipment but in desire. I also write screenplays (I hate writing). We can partner up in a combined PRODUCER/WRITER/DIRECTOR relationship. But do not be fooled, what I really want to do is DIRECT. :)

Perhaps you have major POST skills? or the desire to write and Produce? Or maybe it's as simple as you just wanting to make films.

My personal interests outside of film are Basketball, my family, and... Oh **** it. FILM!

That being said, I live in North County San Diego and own a DVX100 with Tripod. I plan on aquiring more accessories throughout this year (Sound, NLE, etc). Send me a Private Message if this sounds like something you want or need.

My goals are to make quailty films with the DVX to enter into festivals, put on DVD, etc etc etc.

Tks Barry. I will def check. I realize this would be easier with a collaborater of sorts.
 
Re: Hudson in San Diego Needs Partner!

You know I checked out that link and I am more depressed than ever. :(

Damn.
 
Re: Hudson in San Diego Needs Partner!

I don't know. It just seems like it wasn't too serious, ya know? I don't know what I'm looking for damnit. I just want to make films and have another person as stoked as I am to make them!
 
Re: Hudson in San Diego Needs Partner!

Hey i'm pumped about it... too bad the half-way-across-the-nation thing comes into play.... :P
 
Re: Hudson in San Diego Needs Partner!

:l

I know. I told my wife it was too bad all of the peeps on DVXUSER are all over the damn place!

Canada, Germany, New York, etc etc.

:(
 
Re: Hudson in San Diego Needs Partner!

I understand you pain. I'm leaving Chicago, for the month of Feb to shoot a month long doc. (Vancouver ending in L.A.) with just my camera, shotgun mic, tripod, and apple laptop and 200 hrs of tape. We all seem to be in random places. I have not "read" any posts from a user in Chicago. Without sounding fake, if I could help you, I would. Best of luck.
 
Re: Hudson in San Diego Needs Partner!

Why is it I need you to kick me in the tail? I know. I know. I know. I will. I will. Can I get a link to this light place? $50.00 ? :)

I have a couple shorts in mind and am also thinking of that film contest for the non profit pregnancy thread.
 
Re: Hudson in San Diego Needs Partner!

John, if you want some moral support from the other side of the country, I could at least be a sounding board for ideas or I could critique your scripts. That stuff's easy enough over cyberspace.
 
Re: Hudson in San Diego Needs Partner!

ditto... i'd love to offer some digitally transfered help...
 
Re: Hudson in San Diego Needs Partner!

I'm in OC and have a pretty busy schedule, but I'm interested in getting involved in a project. I was an assistant production coordinator for a small municipally owned station 16 years ago. I turned down a camera operator job at CBS to stay home and raise children. I can edit on FCP4 and am learning AVID. I have been a live music/action director for mult-camera shoots for two years. Email me for the details. MaureenCunningham@earthlink.net ;D
 
Re: Hudson in San Diego Needs Partner!

John-

I'm in LA.. I 'm looking for people like you to work with. i have all the gear my own camera. lights, 3 FCP stations. Right now I'm looking for groups that want to do a music video.

But the only problem I'm running into is not finding them with some kind of budget low, med, high.. something to pay the crew.

Right now I'm working on my short & looking for a projects to take to a festival.

Re: Hudson in San Diego Needs Partner!

I have a video to shoot late Janurary. The catch? NO PAY for anyone. :(

It'll pay-off and it's great experience for me. A second DVX on the set would only bene the situation. ;) Send me a Private Message with your email, I'd love to discuss our options IN regards to making films, collaboration, etc etc etc.

Again, I just want to shoot films. My e-mail is:
