Michael Federico: Gaffer/lighting technician, key grip and producer in Stoneham, Massachusetts.

I am in the middle of producing a web series- DP shoots 4 scenes in one day and will edit for a total cost of $1,000.00 I haven"t got a guide line is this a fair price. Shooting on a Panasonic gh4 Is it a good price?

I wanna know how can i change my setting on blackmagic camera and how can i make my post production including color correction to look like a hollywood mtv quality to get the color like sunshine and warming color like we can see in country mtv and romantic film? i want to know the each and every detail from camera setting to post production. i'll be appreciate it.

Hello everyone. I was just curious as to what everyone does for finding gigs. Everyone browses Craigslist, and Mandy but worthwhile gigs on there are a 1 in 100 kind of thing. I've found that most of the best things that I have worked on/ was payed for, came from people that I had worked with before. What I'm curious about is what people do to find the gigs that are higher than the 0 to no budget things on CL and Mandy. Do you just keep going until someone who knows you says, "Hey! I know someone who can do that" and gives you a call? Or are sites like Below the Line worth it once you get a reel and resume going?
