Skilled Clapboard Operator in Atlanta area

[blondandfun]

You need a clapboard operator to stay organized and manage your clips and sync audio.

I charge $10/hour.

I'm willing to travel to LA, NYC, Tokyo, Paris, and London for extended assignments, lodging expenses paid by you.

That isn't exactly a real job. A clapper loader or 2nd AC does a lot more than just clap the board. What are your skills and experience?

...I'm willing to travel to LA, NYC, Tokyo, Paris, and London for extended assignments....

Damn, and we needed a Clapper Operator for a 2 month shoot in Beijing starting in April.
We'd have paid a First Class ticket too, and U$60.00/hour, and you'd have stayed in a 'King Executive Room' at the Beijing Hilton Hotel.
Too bad Beijing wasn't on your list....we now filled the job locally...

Yeah, Fishops is right. Since we shoot digital, I combined the script supervisor with the slate because thay are both detailed and work very close with the script. So far it has worked out very well. Plus it saves time.

Although you may get more response as a fluffer on gay porns. Just a thought. god the smiley fits perfect. lol

I would also like to list my services:

I am that guy who checks that the bulbs are working in the lanterns.
I do not do lighting.

You pay travel, you pay accomodation.

£15 an hour.

No time wasters.

[rhervag]

for that kind of money, do you happen to bring your own clap if at all possible ?

[jboy]

. god the smiley fits perfect. lol

a bit toothy.... outch

[jboy]

[antman]

I don't know jboy, were old, there's probably hybrid clap these days. this may be more app.lol

[jboy]

That's more like it. GGUULLBBBDGGUDLDL, good girl.

clappity clap !

[jboy]

I think most of us are shooting without a budget so whoever is standing around gets the clapperboard position.

If you want to get paid maybe change Clapboard Operator to Clapboard Installer.

I will impersonate a Teamster on your non-union production for $15/hr plus expenses. I'm experienced in stuffing my face at Craft Services, ogling and cat-calling actresses and just generally standing around looking surly (chain-smoking and binge drinking optional).

[rhervag]

my thought was about him bringing his own timecode slate with SMPTE sync.

some of these actually cost more than the camera shooting on set ...see the happy clapper proud of his gear ^^

This thread is like watching Piranha on a chicken leg. Both are solid entertainment.

[antman]

you ain't kiddin, I have looked intto them. Gotta say, the dry erase marker is gonna have to do.

[rhervag]

yes, that SMTP stuff costs an arm and a leg
if the OP is legit and owns the stuff *in working condition*, he's actually a bargain compared to renting the slate for some friendly drunk guy to operate once you factor in the costs of booze

[jboy]

I love it, rotf

Is that Todd at his new job?

[blondandfun]

I disagree that anybody can do this job. You really have to be on your feet to keep track of the "roll, scene, and take", religiously. Also I keep a clipboard on hand with this information so that the director can take notes about each take. It's quite ignorant to think that any type of electronic device can replace this position.
