hi people

I need someone to assist me
sorry for the late notice but this is how things work

it's an advertising job so theres a budget for the right person

prerequisites:

1.must be reliable and committed
dates Monday 4th, tuesday 5th

2. idependant, own transport
monday: Palm Beach, then Wharoonga, 7:30am - 5pm
tuesday: Watsons Bay, Sydney 7:30am - 5pm

3. you have to know something about lighting as you will be holding and operating a ProFoto B2 battery pack(12kg weight) and medium sized softbox and or Beauty Dish, battery pack can be worn as a backpack or shoulder bag but it's heavy after carying it for a while, especially on the sand under the sun, battery pack must be kept clear of sand and the elements, this is pretty much all that you will be doing.

you have to hold it whenever we are shooting on the sand and on ocassion follow me around during the shoot
you will be expected to know how to adjust strobe power output

4. know how to use a light meter minolta IV or other brand

if you dont have direct ProFoto(brand) strobe experience im willing to consider you but only if you know something about on location lighting i need someone who can anticipate my lighting cues without me having to explain in detail what i want during the shoot, this is just for practicality.

5. must be flexible, shoot may be moved to other dates during that week(4th june) or the week after(12 june) depending on the weather

it's an intensive advetising job so if you can't fully meet the above requirements I must say sorry i can't consider you for the shoot

food and beverage will be provided
and lots of breaks

thanks
