Percision video 702 789 4022 www.pvsrents.com I would have to say that this company would compete with my because, My company rents out equipment and does production shooting. But my company does more shooting then just ENG. Abe Forman Productions Abe production Is a production company that is located in Las Vegas and Las Angeles, The production crew has about seven members and they do not just produce in Vegas and Las Angeles they do production all over. Abe Production does work from showtime, BMW, Mac Donald’s to sports. With Abe Forman Production and my compant could work good because, they do not look like that big of a company. So it could be possible they would need to rent out video equipment, and with having all the new equipment they would come to my company to rent. Abe production 702 838 5333 Las Vegas, NV www.abeformanproductions.com Chesapeake Films Chesapeake films does Television and film company, that do work for all ages This company is heavily focused on TV and film, on the website it says they are trying to produce two features a year. It does not say how many people are in the crew or what kind of equipment they use. I feel that this company would work great with my company because, if they are doing shorts and features, That means they would need the equipment for longer then a few days and that would mean more money for my company. Five to Six Productions Five to Six works on doing production work, for example they do commercial production, Corporate video production. They also do side post work and some animation work. As well as websites and audio sweetening. Five to Six productions Las Vegas, NV 702 494 4187 www.fivesixproductions.com With this company I feel that they would work good with my company, I feel they are look for ne things all the time and with all of our new Equipment we carry. It good work for both company’s very well.

This picture was taken by Kayligh Bortalussi, Its was taken in a basement on a film shoot. In the Art Institute of Pittsburgh for Film 2 class, we were assigned to make a short film on anything that we wanted. We had to write, produce, direct, storyboard, shoot, edit, audio and we also had to have an Electronic press kit. So I wrote the script, I found my actors, I got my location locked in. All of my actors lived in the town I was shooting so I did not have to worry about lodging so that helped on costs just a bit. I found my photographer at the school I was going to, so me and my crew set out for Ohio. When we arrive, we start shooting right away and everything is going just as planned. We finish up for the day, on the next morning we were going to shoot on a golf course, things happened at the course so we were delayed a few hours. We moved on in the script and started getting set up for some of the final scenes when we get the call from the golf course that we shoot now or never. We packed everything up and headed to the golf course, where we got all of my scenes shot, the next thing was to go to get more film for my photographer. On the last day we just did some pick up shots and then headed back to Pittsburgh were we the photographer developed the film. When I was going through all the photos I found this photo of me and my actor I am behind the camera and a bit out of focus, but the part that is in focus is what I have recording and to me this picture was just the one I had to choose.

Week 1 EOC: What sacrifices are you willing to make for you career

What am I willing to sacrifice for my career, I would be willing to sacrifice a lot. For example I have nothing holding me back in Las Vegas so if a career happen to pop up in Canada I would be willing to move. I have my passport so I could also travel over seas if need be.
    I would be willing to start all the way at the bottom  and work so hard that I make it to the top. With meeting new people coming to work early, spending as much time at work as possible, so my co works that I love my job and I will done anything to keep it. I have made sacrifices before in my work for example, I was shooting a film and we drove out of town to shoot and we had hotels set up for all the cast and crew. When we get to the hotel they tell us that the rooms are no longer available, so with everybody freezing cold I had to make sacrfices to help these people find somewhere to sleep. I put the cast and crew in all of my family’s houses that were in the town we were shooting. The next day we start shooting our actress breaks her leg, so we had to make sacrifices to the  and drive six hours to get our back up actress and six hours back while we were doing this the rest of the team was shooting pick up shoots. We had one day to shoot all of the scenes with our new actress luckily she know all of her lines. With the sacrafices I made we were able to finish the film, the short film we made went on to win the AIP film showcase and thierd place and thedoorpost.com.
