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:

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.
