WANTED - Photographer and Video Crew for Bridge Day 2012
I need to hire a new video crew and one photographer for Bridge Day 2012.

VIDEO CREW
Prospective video crews should have solid video and BASE experience along with the ability to field 2-4 cameras in multiple locations. HD cameras preferred. Must be able to shoot every jump and landing and provide an edited DVD to jumpers by the end of the year. To be honest, I would prefer you simply put one camera at the exit point and one in the LZ and make a simple jump-jump-jump DVD. I have never accepted a dime from any video crew, but I do ask for a copy of the footage for my archives. Video crews seeking to build up their stock footage NEED NOT APPLY. Your hard work is paid for by selling DVDs to jumpers, but don't expect to get rich from it.

PHOTOGRAPHER
Looking for only one photographer to shoot digital stills for six continuous hours from the boom crane basket. Solid photography and BASE jumping skills are a must. Must have learned the art of photographing moving objects, lighting, shutter speeds, apertures, etc. (which isn't easy for most). Payment is based on a commission of sales. This is a work-for-hire job.

For further details, please contact me at this page and provide examples of your BASE jumping photos or videos if possible: http://www.bridgeday.info/contactus.php
