Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. I’ve needed help for a long time, blh, blah. Get it out of your system. I’ll wait.
Okay, here is what I need and since I don’t know what else to do, I will throw it out to the Internets and see what happens.
I have been wanting to do a video podcast or vlog or whatever you call it for some time. It will be based on my personal forays into home repair and improvement. I have already filmed a bunch of video of different projects I have done. I am going to call it I Did That and I want to put out a video or two a week, maybe 5 or ten minutes each.
The problem is that I can’t film it, think up the story line, edit it, do the projects, work a full-time job and be a decent father and husband. And those last 2 things are the most important. Thus, I can’t do it alone.
What I need is this:
- A camera(wo)man, not for every single scene, since some shots are just me talking to the camera. I just need a tripod for those, which I already have.
- A video editor. This is probably the most important. Editing video takes me a long time. It is currently my big bottleneck. I’ve got hours and hours of video that needs to be shaped into something.
What I’ve got to offer is this:
- Not much. I’ve got a small budget so that I could just pay you for it, but it won’t be a ton of money. The pay would be based on time spent if you were working the camera, by the job for the editing.
- My undying friendship, eternal gratitude and a position on the board of directors of I Did That, Inc. should it ever materialize.
- Did I mention undying friendship?
So that is where I am at. I’m not asking for full time or professional level work. This is a doing it for fun and maybe someday making money if lightning strikes sort of thing. I don’t even need the same camerapersons and editors for every show. If every single one had a different person doing it, that would be fine with me. If you, or someone you know, is at all interested, let me know.
