Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2008 7:05 am Post subject: Doc Videographer seeking sights, ideas / collaborators |
|
|
I'm over here teaching english in order to work on a video demo reel hopefully to apply for making documentaries or being a corrospondant for Kraft Dinner Television (or whathaveyou)
Is any else full of ideas and/or interested in collaborating? I've got the gear (mostly but always could use more)...& a bit of cash. Good contacts -- but nobody to collaborate with.
Going to Sumatara March to hunt wild bore (let's hope)
& well need I really travel so far from Jakarta? This place is loaded with stuff.
If anyone wants even just to roam with me...I'm interested in boating on Jakarta's beautiful inner-city rivers.

Why go all the way to "Sumatara"? There are plenty of wild bores on this forum |

A dictionary may help you see the funny side - Should you be lucky enough to capture a (sic) bore alive, you could always use it as your Sumataran (sic) corrospondant |

Be fair guys! He probably spells tyres as tires, and 'insures' that we all have a good time (at what annual premium I wonder?)
Like many of my students, he may not know the difference between a sow, a boar, a gelt, a porker, or even a bore!!
Oops. nearly forgot 'hog'. |

I'm not being flippant, I'm quite serious. Get a job with one of the multiple McEF franchises in Jakarta. Film the 'unexpected features' of the accommodation, the mass photocopying of texts, the rows of sleeping students in a colleague's class - maybe even one of those hidden camera exposes from inside the CM's office followed by the sequence showing a hand coming out of nowhere and obscuring the lens. |

Oh yah, it's 'boar' is it...?
Sumatra's spelling, on the other hand, is as liquid as the word 'Ojek' when it comes to books I've found in Indonesia...I've seen many variations.
Neway yah...So what. I'm an English Teacher. |

The reference to "Jakarta's beautiful inner-city rivers" is far more interesting than the (disputable) typo in Sumatr(e/a)ra.
What kind of vid are you intererested in shooting, olpha ? |

Yes Sumatera can be spelt many ways but there is only 1 way to spell correspondent. |

Yeh well for 9 months I've been collecting HD footage in Java...Jakarta, Malang, Plabuanratu & Gunung Salak / Halimun...
I've got about 5 hours but plan on cutting it down to a 15 minute short; a montage with some kind of voice over...
That's a project that I fill my time with -- but the real reason I came here was to shoot a half an hour doc' on endangered sea turtles all the way from Sumatra to Irian Jaya...Ideally.
I've just sold my ticket home because I let a school sponsor my kitas & have been stuck in Jakarta...Having not seen any sea turtles, I'm planning on staying until I get all the shots.
Interested in a proposal just give me a shout! (there's more to it than some turtle doc' we've all seen before!)

The bore is back, just to post a link to the documentaries that resulted. Never really shot in Sumatra, after all - or hunted boar - just managed to pass through in a Kopaja with my iPod jamming.
I wound up doing it all on my own, which is fine with me. Still in Indonesia, now in Bali, & still shooting. The script now is on Wayang Purwa / Wayang Kulit and the history of Indonesia. If anyone has similar interests let's talk.
