Guest Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 who you calling dweeb? www.ifctv.ca/resources/film_co-ops.asp - booo-ya! you have any specific questions besides the one I'm about to answer...? Film Co-Op's a great no matter what. You get gear for cheap, usually enough to shoot an entire feature if you're so inclined. There's tools you could never afford to collect yourself and a huge pool of human resources. Most people are always volounteering to get in on other people's projects, and so should you. You'll end up getting crew for the cost of food and transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rage- Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 br:ownz... First off it's 'nerd' not dweeb. Anywho, I don't know what you are trying to do in sepcific with film/video, but here's a great link for cinematographers: The American Society of Cinematographers Check out the resources section..They also produce the magazine American Cinematographer. Fucking awesome mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rage- Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 I'd like to add some frustration: Even if your business and employees are covered by the FLSA, there are a number of exceptions to the overtime requirements. Here are some of the more common ones: - Outside salespeople -- those who regularly work away from your place of business making sales or taking orders - Independent contractors - Certain computer specialists, including computer system analysts, programmers and software engineers, provided they are paid at least $27.63 per hour - Employees of seasonal amusement or recreational businesses - Farmworkers - Transportation workers - Newspeople - Employees of motion picture theaters Fuckersz.

Guest Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 ^ unions can be a bitch. The mag -rage- mentioned is a great read and I used to have a subscription but I found it to be way more than I ever wanted to know about lighting. Light grids are only so interesting unless you're doing it (which I'm not). dont forget this thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BROWNer Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 rage, i'm just looking for whatever.. info is key. i should mention i'm NOT an experienced film/video 'nerd'. so, i'm just intested in basic info, but if you have essential 411 or tips, then please hit me off dunlopsz. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 oh man... if you're just looking for the bare basics, head to the library and grab a book. You're in school now right? I'm sure the school library will have all the basic info you need. Just make sure the books were made in the past 5 years (unless it's not at all about the technology involved). cool.

Guest BROWNer Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 i realize its a wide open request, but by basic, i don't mean shooting thirds and how to turn the power on bro... like i originally said, any informative resources, cool links related to video/film..do i really need to be super specific? whatever ya got...

-Rage- Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Yea, kaySEV is right. Start out with the books. I know my local community college has some film classes. You actually get a 16mm Bell and Howell. Pretty cool. I work wierd hours so I have not been able to take the class. If you have something like that in your area I stress you pursue it to the fullest. Also, you'll need some back up funds. Cameras, film, lights, processing are NOT cheap, by any means. Here is some jawn online you could read up on for starters: - 8mm Film Format Metadirectory - New England Film - some old manuals (perfect for a thread of yours) ;) ADD ON: Go to a Borders and check the FILM book section.. TONS of books about the industry. The best part is that you can sit in the store all day, read them, and leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
