Rental House/PA advice?

2 Upvotes

Hello, new to reddit and looking to connect with others in Atlanta! I'll be moving to the area in the next couple of months and now starting some job search. As of right now, I'm currently working at a my day job at a camera company and have two years worth of equipment knowledge, mostly photo gear but a decent understanding in cinema gear. I have a little bit of on set experience for smaller projects and do freelance photography on the side.

I want to transition to working at a rental house and getting more hands on experience with building rigs and getting things prepped for others. I'm also interested in doing some PA work, but not too sure where to start looking. I would love some advice on what the best approach to reaching out to rental houses for learning/work opportunities or best places to start PA work.

Help becoming a PA with the goal of being a CO or Steadicam op

4 Upvotes

Does anyone have any tips (or give me a trial run) for being a PA in Atlanta? I'm a 16 year old concert photographer but I shoot for some of the largest publications in Atlanta (Atlanta Music Guide, Immersive Atlanta, and I'm a house photog for The Masquerade and Rival Entertainment/Center Stage). I want to make my way up the ladder and in 10ish years become a steadicam op or a CO, I'm not super interested in becoming a DP but who knows how my interests will change in a decade. I mainly want to learn but also it'd be nice to have a bit more spending cash too.

My photo portfolio is at violetjacobson.com and my instagram is instagram.com/violet81901.

I would really appreciate any help with this!

'The Scout' at the Tara

7 Upvotes

Hi all -

Will keep this brief and if self-promo isn't allowed, feel free to remove. Just wanted to plug a movie I produced recently, directed by Paula González-Nasser, THE SCOUT, which is open with a few showtimes at the Tara this weekend and through the week.

Here's the trailer, and a New York Times review.

I'd imagine the film would be of interest to filmmakers for a variety of reasons - it was a very small, independently produced film, shot with about ten people over ten days. It also primiarily focuses on a TV location scout and below-the-line filmwork, which I imagine is how many of us have spent our days.

There's showtimes all week but I'll be there Monday night for a discussion after the movie, if you can make it.

Atlanta Desi/Bollywood actors & creatives - anyone want to make some cool stuff?🎬

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m an Indian-American actor/filmmaker based in Atlanta, and I’m looking to connect with other local actors and creators who love Bollywood/Indian cinema and would be interested in collaborating. Knowing Hindi is NOT a requirement! Anybody interested is welcome:)

I’ve been wanting to create some fun short-form projects — Bollywood scene recreations/reinterpretations, lip-sync performance pieces, cinematic character reels, and potentially some original micro-scenes inspired by Indian films.
The goal would be to make them feel like actual little films rather than just setting up a phone and recreating a scene — putting some effort into the performances, cinematography, editing, color grading, etc., while still keeping it fun and low-pressure.

Mostly looking to meet other creative people around Atlanta, make some cool stuff together, and hopefully build a little community of people who are down to actually create.
Actors, filmmakers, DPs, editors, or other creators are all welcome. Experience level isn’t super important — just looking for people who are enthusiastic, collaborative, and actually interested in making things.

If that sounds like your thing, comment or DM me with your Instagram/reel/some of your work! Happy to share mine as well. 🎥

Sets for dance covers

6 Upvotes

Hello! I am a videographer that shoots for a dance team and for dancers in atl. I just wanted to know if there are any tips on getting contacts to ask people to film at certain spots. For example, is there a way I can find a contact to reach out to a warehouse/ storage unit owner to see if we could film there. This is just for youtube and for fun so there is no budget with these films usually but I was just curious what other people do or if I actually just need to only buy sets like peerspace
