Subject: Need videographer

-->
Hello!

Our Pop Warner Tackle football team is in need of a videographer to film our Saturday games. Our season begins this Saturday and runs through October 31st. The games last about 1 1/2 hours and vary in start times (we do not have our season schedule as of yet).

Do you think any of your students might be interested and volunteer for this job?

Thanks so much for your time.

Seeking Production Volunteers

Our group is preparing for the development of three short films about socio-economic issues that face our communities. We're reaching out ot students organizations in the area because we need to add to our team to get this project off the ground.

If you are looking for experience in production work, want to be involved in something you can feel good about, or just want to see your name rolling through the credits, this is a great opportunity to accomplish all of that, and to have some fun at the same time!

We have several positions to fill, and whether your skill is technical, writing or planning, we would definitely like to have you on board. There will be a minimal time commitment, as the shorts will only be 5-7 minutes long. Once completed, they'll be circulated through several channels, including live presentations, several websites and YouTube. This will be a very fun project for everyone involved and since we are approaching the shorts as Hollywood would approach a film.

As we work together, we will also gain valuable experience that can be applied to future productions. Volunteers will have the opportunity to assist with those, if desired, or simply help out with this paticular project and use the experience as a stepping stone to other ventures.

Please contact Adam @ (801) 718-8510 or mxpxsnobro@gmail.com if you are interested.

We look forward to hearing from you!
