Hi Ryan - I recently posted on these pages a request for any actors (like myself) who love script reading. I also write a bit and was dismayed how otherwise intelligent people (l…

We're doing a short film in an art gallery next Saturday (1st August) and I'd like to project video on a wall.

Does anyone have a projector I could rent/borrow - the type I can p…

Thanks David. Appreciate your offer - sounds good and will let you know if there's anything in future. However, we have now sorted out a screen for this shoot.

I am a writer, editor and sometimes director wanting to meet people keen as I am on collaborating and who may also be struggling like I am to find people in or near the area where…

I am looking for a DJI Ronin for a upcoming short film. The shoot dates are August 7-11 but we only need it for three of those days. Can anyone help?

We have a Ronin M that is available if that helps.

We have a camera and sound equipment we're hoping to hire out in our shooting downtime, and was hoping someone could make some recommendations about good and affordable ins…

This is a general question I wanted to throw out there to anyone with experience or just common-sense advice:

I've had to do something like this on a small scale before, where I …

I agree with both Paddy and Wozy (as usual) but the only other thing I'd throw in is that if you simply need a reportage style, that's one thing, and will be done by default by an…

I also have noticed that it is less known than schizophrenia.

Hi Thomas. I like the subject. Will be willing to collaborate with you on this.

I'm making a short film in a couple of weeks in a location with no electricity. 2 day shoot. Does anyone have experience of this? Not sure whether to hire a generator (then noise …

Use an extreme low light camera, and use it as an excuse to shoot by candlelight. :) Study the old painting masters, they existed before electricity.

I'd test the solutions ah…

I am currently in pre-production for my next upcoming short and we are looking at hiring some extra equipment for the short film including Lenses, Grip and Monitor. We have a very…

New Day Pictures might be able to do you a good deal. And if you or any of your crew members are students, they'll do you a discount. :)

Hi, I'm doing a shoot Sunday 5th to Thursday 9th of July and would really like to use a min-jib suitable to carry a C100... I can offer a little payment as hire cost and could col…

The shooting will take place in areas Battersea, Fulham and South Kensington. I can come and pick up the slider from where ever in London:)

Hi guys,

I asked this question a while ago and if you were interested then i hope you still are and are available...I'm hoping other artists are wanting to help each other out b…

Hi all
I'm keen for some feedback on our live-streaming experiment, where the audience gets the chance to change the play.
I believe this to be an experiment in film, theatre and …

I am looking to find a room or facility that I can run small group meetings in. It could be once week (in the evening) or otherwise on a weekend (ideally Sunday). A studio or simi…

I have to give a demo of green-screen for an amateur video club. A few years ago I saw it done live at a small exhibition. A camera was pointing at the greenscreen. A visitor woul…

If quality isn't a huge deal for the demo, some webcam packages offer it, and Isadora might too (maybe via a plugin).

If you want TV quality, it's hard to get that much data in, …

Does anyone in London have a fog/smoke machine I could borrow for a shoot on Friday 22nd?

Thanks!

Sam

Depending on the effect you want, probably want either a stadium hazer or gas powered smoke gun. The hazer is electric and runs continuously ideal if not too much wind. Smoke gu…

Hi guys,

I've recently started freelancing so I am still learning a lot but I've been tasked with DP'ing a four man team for a pretty big music festival for a client in July. It'…

The ideal set up would be technically demanding and therefore not cheap. Low budget alternatives however can be sufficient enough to provide that commensurate experience.

This is a filmed comedy project with great development potential. A strong cast in in place along with a great main location.

Hey guys,

This may be a long shot but I am in desperate need of updating my showreel. (Aren't we all!)

I've looked into various companies and have used them myself before but …

Hi Lianne,
I've probably missed the boat on this one but I'm definitely up for getting involved if you haven't already got it sorted? I'm a trained actress who needs to build a ne…

Alright guys.

Calm down! It's an exciting topic I know.

For anyone who occasionally rents gear for paid work or short film stuff - say a day's hire on a mid-price camera - what …

It's worth looking into - with such short hires for such low values, you'll be running into minimum premiums doing it one at a time. The Essex guys might be able to suggest an an…
