Looking for basic crew in Chicago for projects

[LKD]

Hi, I just got out of H.S. and I'm trying to start filmmaking full force now. I'm trying to shoot a couple of shorts next month and I'm co-producing and shooting a indie feature call "For Stepper's Only". I'm trying to network with other serious filmmakers that love what they do and don't have an o.c. ego. I trying to find people to fill the following positions:

UPM (organizing the productions a definite must).

AD (organizing the set)

DP (Would like to work with another cinematographer on projects I direct)

AC

Gaffer (can double as a grip if wanted)

Grips

I own a used VX2000 with filters, a cheap lanc remote and 3 batteries. I also have a fluid head tripod, tripod dolly (only for smooth floors if that), and a small jib arm. For lights I made a "home depot" light kit with mostly clamp lights and one floor worklight. I have gels (ND1.2, CTB, Party Colors) and black wrap. I also have gaffers tape and "fog in a can" (it works). For sound I use an Azden SGM1 shotgun with a Behringer mic preamp and boom pole. I also have 4 5-mile 2-way radios and a 5" TV monitor.

If you have any equipment you'd like to donate on productions, feel free. Email me at lkd_852003@yahoo.com if your serious.

Sounds great man!
If I was in Chicago, I'd give you a shout, but good luck with your projects!

Why don't you submit them to StudentFilms.com once you are finished?

Keep us posted!

Thanks. Yeah I'm thinking about doing it. I just need to up my game first. Go to www.myriad-ent.com under the Our Members link to view my first video. (Click on LKD). Constructive criticism is welcome.

I would also love to help you out, but I live in lower notrhern Indiana, and can't yet drive. So there is nearly no way I could make it up there. Good luck though, and if you ever venture into Indiana e-mail me or something.

Hey man, you didn't list that you need any actors, but I figured I'd let you know about me anyway. I'm gonna be a freshmen at Northwestern in the fall and I'm majoring in theater. Me and my friends have been making movies since 7th grade, so I can act on film too. Anyway, I'll be around if you need an actor.
