Basically, this is a 5-page short film for an NYU certificate course with a small cast and crew. Our DP is shooting on an iPhone 15 in 4K.
FYI on the budget - I am a SAG-AFTRA actor and I am paying for this out of pocket, we're on the SAG Micro Budget Agreement and while that has no minimums, I am paying the actors $16/hr. I know everyone deserves better pay, I'm just doing the best I can with what I've got. I am happy to recommend people I've worked with before when I hear of other jobs.
Our DP has a mixer Tascam DR-60DmkII with 2 lavs and a Rode Mic as basic shotgun. He was thinking he could do it himself but is a little concerned about troubleshooting and making sure we're not losing sound while wearing too many hats.
We need someone familiar enough with this and sound to handle sound recording on set, or if you have your own equipment and are interested we can discuss that as well. I don't have a lot of room on the budget but can't hurt to discuss.
I would also be open to a recent grad who knows sound and is trying to build up list of credits. I am basically looking for a nice person who wants to do this and is confident in their skills for this role.
You would be needed a full day on Saturday, Sept 7. I'm still confirming but we will most likely start around 11:30am in Manhattan at a event space for a bar scene until 4pm, then will company move (via Uber I pay for) to Brooklyn to film in an unfinished basement and an alley until hopefully no later than 9pm but again, I haven't nailed down the schedule yet.
In addition to flat rate of pay (which I can venmo/paypal at the end of the shoot) I will provide coffee, snacks and dinner for cast and crew.
If you're interested, please apply with interest or questions.
Thank you!
