In need of a local DSLR crew (DP and Audio). It'll be in a nursing home with an older lady, so we want to keep gear/lighting/etc super simple so as to not overwhelm her or the other residents. For the same reasons, it also won't be a very long shoot - probably arrive at 9am and finish the interview by 11:30am.

I'm a music video director looking for a Los Angeles-based DP to film a fun road trip-themed music video shoot in Santa Monica and Malibu on 5/16. It's pretty run and gun with a skeleton crew, so would like to bring someone who owns and operates a komodo/bmpcc6kpro/fx3/fx6 + ronin rs3 pro setup or similar. A rig that we can smoothly switch from gimbal to handheld to tripod as needed. ND filter would be crucial as well. Budget for DP is between 500-600 for the day. Please link your previous work/website/gear list in your submission!
I can provide the following gear if needed: bounce and neg material, sachtler flowtech legs, heavy duty shoulder rig, teradek/directors monitor, and a DZOfilm Vespid prime set in PL and EF mount. But let me know what gear you own and we can figure it out from there.
