It would normally consist of simply stripping out an English-language voice over from a digital video and adding a new language VO. Because most of this work is for corporate videos (as opposed to television or film work), it does not need to be lip-sync'd. We paragraph-synchronise the audio during recording. There may, however, be a<br /> little audio (or video) tweaking to be done (by you) to some of the start and end points for each phrase / paragraph / scene (eg. time-stretch, tiny cuts).</p> <p>Work would be on a per-project basis, from your home / studio</p> <p>Pay per-hour.</p> <p>We usually do not give much advance notice, so you would need to be generally available on a day-to-day basis for an hour or two at a time. If this is not the case, please do not apply.</p> <p>Is this kind of work something you are capable of, are available for, and would be interested in doing?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Simon</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/virtual-assistant-needed#post-69272 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 20:30:01 +0000 Kami 69272@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>CAMERADO, a US-founded producer of compelling entertainment and<br /> edutainment media with projects ongoing in the US and Asia, is seeking</p> <p> virtual volunteer researchers and a virtual volunteer manager for a variety of ongoing media projects in SE Asia.</p> <p>Projects include 'Freedom Deal', a Vietnam war era social issue dramatic<br /> feature with horror &amp; genre elements; several documentary projects<br /> in development; CamboFest, Cambodia's first international film festival<br /> since the end of the Khmer Rouge era, and others.</p> <p> Virtual volunteer duties would include:</p> <p>* Researching leads for funding, and distribution</p> <p>* Creating graphics and design as needed within capacity</p> <p>* Updating on crowdfunding and wordpress pages and websites, as needed</p> <p>* Outreach and contact to persons of interest for funding and other purposes</p> <p>* Sourcing, interacting, and strategizing with the team</p> <p> Virtual project manager duties would include:</p> <p>* Project managing one or several media projects</p> <p>* Devising and creating milestones</p> <p>* Assigning tasks as needed to other virtual volunteers</p> <p>* Devising ways to autonomously monetize projects or funding sources to eventual compensation stipends for team members, and possibly, paid positions</p> <p> </p> <p>Requirements:</p> <p>* Film and Media experience useful but not absolutely necessary</p> <p>* Virtual volunteers: 5-10 hours commitment per week, preferable with a 3 month minimum commitment</p> <p>* (Project managers: please contact to discuss further)</p> <p> Virtual staffers will work with existing virtual staff with a high<br /> degree of autonomy and creative input while assisting from any location<br /> via and Skype.</p> <p> Great opportunity for persons with an interest in Asian and Southeast Asia issues and media!</p> <p> Primary Contact: Jason Rosette</p> <p>Email: <a href="mailto:camerado@camerado.com">camerado@camerado.com</a></p> <p>Skype: kingcamerado</p> <p>Secondary Contact: Kami Lennox</p> <p>Email: <a href="mailto:cameradoassist004@gmail.com">cameradoassist004@gmail.com</a></p> <p>Skype: kamknyom</p> <p>Website: <a href="http://www.camerado.com/">http://www.camerado.com/</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/looking-for-videocamera-guru-for-site#post-63828 Mon, 29 Nov 2010 14:03:45 +0000 gamefilm360 63828@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I'm the owner of Gamefilm360 and we are a storage/organizer for coach's game films.  We are in need of someone who could help the technically-challenged coach's get the video from camera to site.  Normally very easy questions, yet I'm not the technical guy either.  Most of the work could be done via email, some via phone call...the business is taking off in a big way - could lead to supervisor-type position.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/chapman-university-equipment-operations-asst#post-64674 Fri, 07 Jan 2011 13:21:21 +0000 DodgeCollege 64674@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts is accepting applications for Equipment Operations Assistant.

I am sort of a newbie when it comes to film making. I've always had a passion for it, but never a means to accomplish anything. Now that I finally have some money, I actually own a good digital camcorder. I love filming with every excuse I get. I have done a short film for work and will film a wedding next month! I spend hours on Sony Vegas Pro whenever I have an editing task, experimenting and trying to create the best result. It is a lot of fun, and I realize now that I would really like to make this a career, but... is this possible?</p> <p>My current job feels like a dead end. Even if I were to get promoted, I do not enjoy corporate world, standard business casual attire, and 15 minute coffee breaks. They will pay for school, but it has to be related to work... not going to cut it for me. So I am willing to attend, and pay, for school, courses, seminars, whatever I need to break into a career I love. But that still leaves me wondering where I should go and what exactly I should do. So please, if you have a suggestion for me, please let me know! Perhaps you've been there yourself. I've got my game face on and am ready to take action. I just need a little direction!</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>gs</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/a-question-for-experienced-video-production-specialists#post-50878 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 19:24:19 +0000 rjdthree 50878@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am a recent college graduate whom accepted an internship at an advertising firm. The company is small (20-30 employees) but is growing, as they are creating a Video Department in order to eliminate the high prices charged by independent contractors. I am being trained to be their Video Production Specialist in order to bring all production in-house. I shoot and edit for them, and am supposed to help start writing too. </p> <p>My days usually, I will shoot video for them on an AG-HVX200, either in their green screen studio or on location, edit said video using FCP, as well as AfterEffects, and collaborate and coordinate with other graphic designers and/or writers.</p> <p>Unfortunately, I think that they are training me, a recent graduate, because they do not want to pay an experienced video specialist more money. I am afraid that they will low ball their salary offer to me, so I was looking for any input on what I would be fair. I don't want to want to be taken advantage of. How much should I be expecting? </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/freelance-videographer#post-44357 Sun, 01 Mar 2009 17:04:32 +0000 romanstopme 44357@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> So Im still in high school my senior year and Im interested in becoming a freelance videographer. Bu the question im asking is this a good video field to go into. I have a passion for shooting i love being behind the camera and im the only advanced video student in my whole school. I have heard lots of thing about this field like its not profitable and that its not a stable job. But I figured I would ask the pros. Im thinking about going to a community college and get my associates video degree and maybe to go to a four year university after that and get my bachelors. But is this a field I should be perusing or are there to many people doing this same job that I love doing.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/freelance-video-producer-needed#post-34295 Wed, 26 Dec 2007 07:50:40 +0000 MonkeySee 34295@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>The Webs hottest new video destination, MonkeySee.com, has immediate openings for talented video producers looking to make money creating how-to video segments.
