GAMERS, DEAD CAMPER LAKE, and REVAMPING DOYLE.

We are currently in the midst of pre-production for our new feature-length

qualified individuals for a rigorous and rewarding production experience.
Positions, Requirments, compensation, and application procedure information is
below.

POSITIONS: We are current seeking participants for the following positions...

1. First Assistant Director: The first assistant director works closely
with the production manager to organize an optimum shooting schedule, is
responsible to the director for the efficient execution of that schedule on the
set
and assists the director in the direction of extras, crowd scenes and
special effects. The assistant director is also responsible for production
paperwork, including overtime authorizations, model releases, and call sheets.
Specific duties include creating daily call sheets, keeping the crew on
schedule,
managing efficiency on set, instructing the various departments on set,
calling the shots and ensuring that each day’s production goals are met.

2. Second Assistant Director: The second assistant director supports the
first assistant director. Responsibilities include managing the logistics of
the set so that all members of the cast and crew arrive at the right place at
the right time, assisting in the direction of extras, and distributing
production paperwork. In addition, the second assistant director is the liaison
between the set, base camp (if there is one) and the production office.

3. Electricians: Electricians are responsible to the gaffer (i.e. the chief
electrician who is responsible to the DP for safe and efficient execution of
the lighting patterns outlined by the DP) and the best boy electric for
rigging and operating lighting and electrical equipment.

4. Grips: Grips, sometimes called “hammer grips,” are responsible for
performing the various functions that fall under the jurisdiction of the key
grip
(i.e. the individual responsible to the DP to assist the gaffer during
lighting procedures and maneuver the camera during moving shots). This may
include building platforms, rigging picture vehicles, blacking out windows for
night interiors shot during the day and laying dolly track.

5. Script Supervisor: The script supervisor is responsible for taking
detailed notes during production, recording on the shooting script such
information as scene and take number, camera position and lens used, performance
continuity, dialogue changes, and the running time of each shot. These notes
will
be an aid to the director and the crew during production, and to the editor
during postproduction.

6. Boom Operator/Sound recordist: The boom operator is responsible to the
sound mixer for the placement of the microphones. Usually this requires
handling a microphone boom, moving the microphone so that it is properly
positioned
at all times during a take. In addition to placing the microphone to achieve
optimum recording quality, the boom operator must ensure that the microphone
and boom do not create shadows in the shot and do not interfere with the
lighting equipment, camera equipment, or actors’ movements. The boom operator
is
also responsible for voice slating wild sound takes.

providing between-meal snacks and beverages for the cast and crew during
production. This person also assists in maintaining the tidiness of the area

MOVIE SYNOPSIS: All Lodge wants is for his gaming group to finish their
adventure. Unfortunately, they’re more interested in seducing barmaids,
mooning
their enemies, and setting random villagers on fire. Desperate to rein in his
players, Lodge injects two newbies into the distrust: a non-player character
controlled by Lodge, who the power gamers immediately distrust, and the rarest
gamer of all -- a girl. Can the group overcome their bickering to save the
kingdom, or will the evil necromancer Mort Kemnon triumph unopposed? A parody
of fantasy films and the adventure gaming community, Dorkness Rising is a
hilarious romp through the world of sword and sorcery -- in this case, a world
of exploding peasants, giant house cats, and undead roast turkeys. Game on!
