I am intrigued by the increasing number of stories I am hearing about individuals networking over the internet, and creating online companies, projects, etc. without ever meeting. I suppose you can consider this my own investigation into that arena. I have an idea for a very low budget Mini-DV film that I have been thinking about shooting in the next few months. I was wondering if there were any of the following here who would like to volunteer their time and services (for back end percent of the film) once it's done. There would be no upfront monetary compensation and people involved would have to be willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement, but if it goes well, then profit participation would be part of the deal. I am looking for: People whom are willing to volunteer time possibly doing: 1.) Animation (Maya, etc.) 2.) AfterEffects composite work 3.) Photoshop retouching of frames. 4.) Rendering large files. 5.) If you're an actor, yes, I would be intested in a headshot and resume if you're in the LA area. 6.) If you're not an actor, and live in the Los Angeles area, yes, I may be interested in working together anyway. 7.) People who may have access to sound stages, lighting equipment, or even cameras. 8.) Final Cut Pro editing. 9.) Writers - People interested in taking stabs at the film concept itself. 10.) Film production crew -- people familiar with lighting a set. 11.) People interested in financing the project. Consider this a non-union film production, wherein: * SAGIndie guidelines are not going to be applied (unless insurance is indeed used), * Where most of the shooting will be on the fly (unless a budget materializes) * Where shooting schedules will be dependent on coordinating schedules, * Insurance and pay is not provided and each member will have to sign waiver contracts which release the director-producer and production from any responsibility for any potential damages to personnel or property occurred during produciton. Think of this project as a fun project because that is what it will be. It involves a lot of sweat and toil but it may be something that all who participate may find fun and exciting. Depending on the number of people who respond, I will provide a synopsis of the storyline in a private forum once intellectual copyrights have been registered. Well, this should be interesting... Or very underwhelming!
