A compelling reason to get out of the business

[Tim Kolb]

That may be the most…

AMAZING thing I’ve read in some time.

Anything else I can think of to say isn’t fit to print.

Wow.

Hey I’m very professional and (important)! I think I’ll call them up…

“Hello?”
…
“Yes, Hello? I’m calling about the position you posted on Craigslist…”

“Am I available next Friday and Saturday? Sure!”
…
“Yes, I have about 15 years of production experience…”
…
“I can bring my HD VariCam, if that works for you.”
…
“Yes, I can get my demo and resume to you right away.”
…
“References? No problem.. You’ll see that I’ve spent the last decade and a half building a stellar reputation. ”
…
“Transportation? Yes, I have my own.”
…
“Well…actually it’s a Minivan.”
…
[I’m sensing a lost opportunity] …It’s a Dodge Caravan… (trying to recover)…but the stereo system in it is killer!
…
“Well, my cousin has a ’79 Impala convertible with a great new paint job. I’ll ask him if I can use it that day, if you need it for the shoot.”
…
“Side items? Um… well… Does garlic butter for the pizza count?”
…
“It doesn’t? Well, see, I’m just not much of a cook…”
…
“Well, I never really thought that would be part of the interview, sir.” [Voice in my head] “Uh oh… another snag in the interview, Get it together, Tim! RECOVER!!! YOU NEED THIS JOB FOR THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU WILL HAVE THAT YOU PLAYED A ROLE IN SUCH AN UPLIFTING AND MEANINGFUL PROJECT!!!

“If John Davidson brings the potatoes, can I bring like… I don’t know… napkins or something?!?!!
…
“Oh… you just need potatoes… and corn. I see. That’s why you advertised for two videographers. Yes, I understand. Just potatoes and corn… and the Impala…
…
“No napkins needed, then?”
…
“The audio guy is bringing them? O.k., then.”
…
“I guess I’ll just be glad that I still have my day job at NASA.”
…
“Oh, by the way… since I’m not the one you are looking for, I was just wondering, couldn’t you divert some of the budget that you saved from not paying your crew towards the food?”
…
“No?”
…
“Oh. I see….You have to use it for the “mad bling”. What’s “mad bling?”

Walter,

OK if I bring Zaxby’s chicken instead and a pot of Brunswick stew from Old McDonald’s?

Yum Yum,

I’d love to be part of such a meaningful Project but i can’t fit all my production equipment and my paper plates and 10 gallons of green bean casserole in my honda without being a danger to those around me…

I’d venture to say that anyone who shows up with THAT camera for a non paying rap video gig, shouldn’t be expecting to come back with it. If they come back at all. Sounds uplifting…as in uplifting you over the railing and into the river with a lovely new pair of concrete shoes. Hope you’re straight OG.

I just wish that I had time and energy to track down this shoot, sit on the sidelines, and just watch for an hour or so.

I’m betting it would be a bit entertaining.

Kathlyn and I had headed out to the car with a rented HVX200 we had secured for the engagement but then I tripped and spilled the onion dip we were bringing all over it and just now I put it in the dish washer to clean it up. Thankfully, we have the Jet-Dri so that it won’t leave spots on the lens.

I hate when that happens.

I hope we can make the shoot time. After all, we love to take part in meaningful shoots like this.

This guy claims to be putting together a serious production, but really now — pizza and chicken? What sort of half-hearted offer is this? It should be pizza and BEER.

Either this guy’s new to this country or he’s never been on a softball team.
