» newmeridian - Dp/Location Scout--Film

24k Black Films, Los Angeles
Two weeks shooting, Dec. /Jan, 2007

Looking for a qualified DP to shoot independent low-budget feature in mid-February. Shoot will be digital (preferably HD). Considering Cinealta F900, Panasonic SDX 900, or possibly JVC HD250 with mini35 package depending on comfort level of DP. Please provide link to reel indicating what was shot digitally. Story is a Disney/Nickolodeon type. There is pay and it will be adjusted upward if DP provides their own camera equipment. Again this is independent, so not union scale, but definitely paid. Going for a look that is similar to the brightness of "High School Musical" and similar genre films.

Need location scout as well. There is pay. Need someone extremely familiar with the LA area and with good connects to get good locations at cut-rate prices. Prefer someone with established contacts, but if you are a go-getter willing to hustle, that could work as well. Tell me why it should be you!

Locations needed consist of:

Two Schools - A high school and an elementary school. - Outdoor cafe - Back yard of an estate with a pool and some grass (don't need interiors) - Nice home for well-to-do family
