I'd say 90% of us are crew people and creative types needing PAYING jobs, not college internships. It's almost shameful the amount of prod. companies that get on here to advertise for these positions when they should be focusing their efforts at COLLEGES!!! I'm still baffled at the fact that I've never truly seen a JOB post from any of these prod. companies...they always just need FREE interns.
Flag'em! Oh and for all the student productions, you should be looking at other students at your school! Make a friend and stop looking for pros and giving the run of the mill copy credit meal. We need to pay bills people....

ALL CREW
Date: 2009-09-25, 10:43AM PDT
(it's hilarious that this got flagged, seeing as the only people who would flag this are the ones not paying!)
THE ECONOMY IS BAD. IT HAS AFFECTED US ALL. THIS IS NO EXCUSE NOT TO PAY YOUR CREW.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY, DON'T SHOOT IT. IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.
LOOKING FOR FREE CAM OPERATORS AND AUDIO MIXERS WITH EQUIPMENT IS A JOKE. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT GEAR COSTS??????
PAS ARE NOT SLAVES. STOP TREATING THEM AS SUCH. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR STUDENTS, FIND THEM AT SCHOOL THIS IS A JOB POSTING BOARD NOT A VOLUNTEER POSTING BOARD.
EXPECTING PEOPLE TO WORK FOR FREE IS ILLEGAL. AND NO IT'S NOT AN INTERNSHIP. MAYBE YOU SHOULD LOOK UP THE DEFINITION OF INTERNSHIP IN THE LABOR LAWS.

What is this FREELIST
Date: 2009-09-24, 8:51AM PDT
I don't know if anyone gets the concept that this site is for people who are looking to HIRE crew. When you HIRE someone you PAY them. COPY CREDIT MEAL is for people who need experience. Professionals who spent hard earned money, energy and time for their equipment and career cannot live off of CCM. Post your FREE ads at your schools, businesses, shoot bathrooms for all I care, just not here.
GET A CLUE!! This is craigslist not FREE List
* Compensation: PAY ONLY

ALL VIDEOGRAPHERS, EDITORS AND OTHER SKILLED PROFESSIONALS READ!

It is no secret that we are in an economic crises that is severely effecting this job market. There are low life scum sucking scavengers out there that are taking advantage and feeding off this difficult time to price very skilled pros out of work. Because the technology has become so user friendly and cheap allows these low lives to believe that anybody can do it... therefore underpay or worse not want to pay. We all know, as pros, that this work takes skill, training, hard work, time and a financial investment. And when we do accept work at these deplorable offers, which I have been guilty of out of desperation, it always seems to turn into a nightmare. I'm sure most of you have experienced this crap! Well enough is enough!!! I know its tough to turn down any work at this time but with so many of us competing for the same gig they get us by the balls until they hear the price they want which is usually less than min wage. We, as freelancers are not unionized or protected in anyway. A precedent needs to be set! Please friends, I implore you, if only for one week DO NOT ACCEPT ANY JOBS FOR UNDER 200 per day, which is really less than the rental of some equipment. If we stick to a bottom line price, maybe just maybe, some of these cheap dirt bags will get the idea. They need us! But lets not allow them to exploit us anymore. Thanks.

Seems like those who are trying to get outrageous demands for free are now posting in the "Jobs" section because they know they'll be flagged if they post these ads here. What sad is that to post in the "Jobs" section, it cost $25, yet they claim the project is low-budget and no-pay. Fucking horseshit. This goes to show that these people and those like them don't give a shit and are worst than leeches - they would rather pay to ask for free help than pay the help.. These are a few I've seen:
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/tfr/1368541572.html - "Short Film Production/looking for 2 Cameras and Camera Operators (West Hollywood)"
Low Budget Production is looking for two cameras to shoot a "bromance" comedy short film. We need two of either the Sony EX-3/EX-1 or the Panasonic HVX-200 with batteries, GB cards and whichever camera camera accessories you can provide. If you have any lighting equipment, such as Kino Flos, Arri Light Kit, etc. that'd be great!
We have a fantastic comedy short written and are looking to film it for cheap. You will be working with a professional crew that has feature film experience. We are looking for two cameras/camera operators who want to be there and will appreciate the experience of working with talented, upcoming Hollywood A-listers. This short film will be seen by A-list Hollywood writers/directors. Opportunity for future work is very likely if you do your job well.
