Hello Everyone

I am looking to find links or to download commercials that have been shot on the

DVV 100 A or B. I am hoping to find professional, well lit DV to show a client who is interested in using the DVX for a viral campaign. Any websites or work you can lead me to would be appreciated.

Work at a rental house is hard to beat for the technical knowledge education. Other than that, try and find a loader gig and learn from the other ACs you work with.

 

Doug Hart's book has a lot of good procedural-type stuff for loading and working as an AC. I'd recommend that read.

thanks! do you think a workshop is worth it or the field is the way to go to for all the additional aspects of AC knowledge I need?

Hello everyone

This is my first time posting....I have been reading the threads for sometime....it is so informative and inspiring.

Here's my deal.

Started out as a stills photographer...love film...did not make the digital switch, although it is creeping in a bit. Still love the darkroom and the sound of a real film camera.

Decided I wanted to get involved in film and see my images moving. I was looking for a freelance skill to add to my photography and drink slinging and to get more involved in the technical side of filmaking. I ended up taking an editing course which led to an assistant editing gig...I have now been editing for 3 years. I have been working primarily on commercials. This has been a great experience on many levels and I have learned loads. This knowledge can only be helpful in the field.

I have been a camera assitant on a few HD shoots and have shot some behind the scenes footage for the clients we currently work with.

Now, I am dying to get out of the edit bay and shoot more. I am looking for a place that I can get my hands on the cameras, learn to load film, and hone my skills as a knowledgable AC. I have looked into the Maine workshops and am wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the AC workshop there or if anyone can suggest somewhere here in NY that I can get my hands (along with instruction) on the cameras so I can actually start persuing jobs.

I am willing to work for free but feel that a bit of a proper education regarding the cameras and loading can be helpful.

Any thoughts????

Would appreciate any response.

Thanks

Lauren
