Apply to this Gaffer Job

Hello,

We are producing a soap opera on a micro-budget and are looking for a gaffer with a small kit to come onboard for about 15 days of shooting between October 2nd and October 20th.

The rate we can afford is $3500 for labor and the kit. We understand this is very discounted rate and we aren't going to sugarcoat but it is what we have to work with. Our entire team is sacrificing for this with the knowledge that this should lead to additional commissions with real budgets.

If you are interested, please send us your resume and a cover letter to tell us a little bit about yourself.

Thanks for your consideration.

Regards,

Chris

We have a trade show on January 29th and are looking for a gaffer/grip to assist with lighting a small wine/spirits bottle shot setup we are building on the trade show floor. The applicant will be responsible for working directly with the DP to light the scene accordingly to his direction.

They would help set up lighting on first show day, and then switch to camera in more of a first AC role simply to assist DP. All shots will be static, so there will not be much focus pulling, if any. We are looking for someone who has a small grip/lighting package available for rental, so please provide info on rates for that if interested.

Hi,
I'm looking for a gaffer that lives in the DMV area for a shoot this upcoming Tuesday. This will be a fast moving shoot with multiple locations. We're looking for someone who can set up a small amount of lighting quickly and work with the DP to make each shot look as good as possible (under the time constraints). Please let me know if you're available.

Thanks!
