I'm doing various festivals again this summer and need a couple of runners for some of them. These positions are unpaid (food will be provided), but will be a chance to get in to a festival for free and to learn about how live camera mixing (IMAG) is done. If your interested in coming along to an event where i'm doing stuff then drop me a line via email or PM and let me know a bit about yourself and your interests.

The majority of the work is quite easy / boring (stuff like tape labelling, tea making, cable bashing, fetching things and generally helping out) but you will get the chance to have a go at camera operation and some vision mixing too.

If your keen and good and get along with the rest of the team then there is potential paid work in the future too ;)

I'd be up for lending a hand dude, not had the chance to do anything interesting for a while. Spending too much time in boardrooms, film sets and post facilities...
