*AHEM* So waitasecond, you want a buncha people to come out and bust their tushies so you can hope to get a slick little "action reel" piece to land you some industry work? And you DON'T PLAN ON PAYING these people?! Seriously, what are they gonna get out of it -- it's a director's reel, fool! Yeah, it's hard times for everybody right now but for jeezas sake, have a conscience, friendo. None of these people you want for the project will get anything out of working on a showpiece for your work -- it's a dead end project for everybody but you and the actors. For reals. You can go and tell that, homeboy.
Original post:
Great opportunity to work with an experienced director on a short ACTION SCENE teaser for Director's reel.
One evening shoot Sat 1/22/11 from 7pm to 1am, to be shot in Santa Clarita. No pay on this particular shoot; however this shoot will be the demo for future actor‚s reel shoots that will be paying projects. This will be a great opportunity to gain experience and earn a credit with a valid job title that might help you get add‚l work.
1ST ASSISTANT CAMERA (1ST AC) - Responsible for setting up camera, lenses & filters and pulling camera focus as it is shooting.
PRODUCTION SOUND MIXER / BOOM OP - Responsible for recording all sound during filming (equipment provided by the producers.)
KEY GRIP - Help set up location as needed; in charge of operating the camera dollies and camera cranes.
PRODUCTION ASSISTANTS (PAs) - Two production assistants needed. If you don‚t have the specific skills described in the key crew positions but want to learn some or all of these, being a PA is the way to go. You will be exposed to all aspects of the production process.
No pay. Credit and copy will be provided to all cast and crew.

Unpaid crew wanted
Date: 2011-01-14, 4:01PM PST
Hi. I have no money and an unfinished script. I would like to waste the time of talented actors and crew like you by asking you to spend 8-12 hours with me and my friends trying to make a video that maybe we'll put on YouTube or enter into a film festival or something. There's no money now, of course, but maybe we'll get lucky and maybe someone will give us money later and maybe if we're in the mood we'll share it with you.
Also we might hire you for stuff later if you're cool and easygoing.
Of course you need to have experience and thousands of dollars worth of equipment. Also if you don't have a reel showing stuff that's been on network TV don't bother applying.
I'll tell you more once you apply and then I'll send you to a cool website that me and my friends set up so you can fill out our cool online questionnaire and waste more of your time. Then we'll probably interview you or something at a Starbucks maybe if we feel like it.
Don't worry about reading the script; I can assure you it's way cool. Also we have an A-list star lined up that I sat next to on a plane once that said he might be interested in doing something with me once I told him how cool this project is so we'll definitely get into Sundance and probably get distribution after that.
Let the bidding wars begin!
Also let us know if you can cook or something and it would be great if we could all chip in and bring snacks and stuff. The script is mine, of course, and I won't be changing a word of it never but this will definitely be a group effort.
copy credit meals waste of your time

If you post here looking for crew, and you operate a legitimate production company, you should be willing to disclose your name and the name of your production company and provide a link (imdb or website). Do you expect someone to tell you in a cover letter how much they would love to work for you or your company when they have no idea who you or your company are? I would never submit names of references to anyone who wishes to remain anonymous. Unfortunately, many "producers" and "production companies" that post on craigslist refuse to disclose who they are. This is unprofessional. Period.
