Love Doll (spec spot)

you guys are knocking this stuff out.. do you have day jobs? is there that much work in SF that you have the free time and resource to do all this? 4 shorts in post and 1 in pre. what is the magic formula for such a productive environment? time = $$$ so who pays for all this - if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks Kovarova. I haven't had much response yet, in the ad world, because it has yet to be sent out. DVXuser was the premiere, so to speak. I'd like to get about 3 more of these knocked out, before I send off the reel.

Thanks Rich. I completely agree. Some of these that we'll be shooting in the next several weeks will be this type of humor, some will be serious, some will be lighter, some will be rated G, etc. A mixed bag of stuff.

We've all got day jobs. Mine is a bit more sporadic than others, because I freelance as an editor and director, for industrials and in-house ad work. We have a bunch of equipment that we've been stockpiling for a number of years. And we're fortunate enough to have a lot of great friends and crew members who really want to build up their reels and be a part of something. They know we'll make something interesting and challenging, and we'll pull through and actually finish it. Which is important, because people here are sick of busting their ass on indies and student films and then never getting a copy of it, because it never got finished.

The SF area film industry has been pretty devastated and is just hanging by threads. unfortunately. There's signs of it starting to grow, but we figure **** it. If the jobs aren't coming in, we'll just shoot what we want, ourselves. I think it's important to do so, so it keeps your skills sharp and you never know who'll see it and like it. So we pay for some of these ourselves, as an investment in ourselves. The music videos have been funded by the bands/labels. The shorts are us, as well.

Hope that answers some of your question. =)

cool CJ. it is good to hear of a group of people pooling their efforts. the dedication shows in your work. all the best.
 
Hmm, I would approach hookers.com with that vid. You might just get paid for your playing around and get more business. Hell I would buy it if I were them.

Just change the URL to escorts.com and I think it would work and not be too offensive. Not offensive at all to them. Hell I might sign my wife up for that site! HA!

Thanks Hart. I think you're right. It might be up someone's alley. I'll have to pursue it when I have time, as I just got booked for 3 weeks straight. Ka-ching.

Thanks again.
