Initially I am looking for an enthusiastic individual to assist me in making test films and footage for what will eventually become either a number of short independent films or one full length feature.

I have a great variety of equipment at my disposal, including a Canon XL2 Mini DV camera, professional mic and boom, camera crane/jib, dolly and track, steadicam equipment, car mount, Manfrotto tripod and fluid head, and a high spec PC with Avid Xpress installed for post production needs.

At the moment I am working totally independently, it is literally me and my camera filming test footage and learning about the capabilities of this camera. I have filmed a variety of basic tests which cover, depth of field, use of steadicam, comparison of 25 P footage to 50 i (25 frames per second progressive, 50 frames per second interlaced), slow motion effects, tracking shots etc.etc. I am limited to filming on weekends only due to job commitments, but am able to take holidays to extend weekends when necessary.

I am keen to involve someone with similar interests in film and an enthusiasm to actually make something which people will see. This is a great opportunity for someone to get involved at this very early stage who perhaps has the knowledge but does not have access to the equipment, or simply has the enthusiasm and dedication to spend their weekends filming and editing.

The main reason I need to involve someone else is that I am very limited to what I can do with just one person behind the camera. Many independent film projects have at least 2 people involved, be they co-directors, a writer and director, a director and actor (you get the idea). Ultimately I would like someone who can join me in forming a partnership which will go on to produce an Independent feature film.

If you are in the Ipswich or surrounding area and would like to team up with me, please let me know. I cannot offer any payment or guarantee of a future career in the film industry, but I can guarantee a unique and enjoyable experience. Please drop me an email with your details and experience (if any) and I guarantee to answer every communication.

Many thanks for your time,

Jamie
