Seeking a Director of Photography for a weekend job. Having your own equipment is a major plus.
This is a $200-300/day opportunity. This project's budget is more in line with a non-union indie short or non-union student project budget. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility!
This weekend's project will be on behalf of a Midwest premiere youth actor management company. The purpose of this weekend is to professionally record 2-3min audition clip scenes that have been written specifically for these actors in lieu of actor reels. Setup will be simple and in one spot all weekend for multiple actors. The team will also consist of a Sound Mixer/Op and an Acting Coach/Director so all the DoP role will need to focus on is producing quality footage. Since these audition clips will be representing/replacing their actor reels, obtaining a high-quality tape for each & every one of these actors is of the utmost importance.
Location will be at our studio in Bensenville, IL. Must provide own transportation. In addition to the day rate, we will provide parking, lunch, & some crafty snacks. In addition to producing audition clips, our production company also produces a multitude of short films, other projects, and on-camera programs & activities, so there is a high possibility of this project leading to more future project opportunities with our team.
To apply, please include your resume, a demo reel or work sample if available, and a short "about me" note + any questions you may have. Thank you!
