I know there are a ton of you out there - mostly because there are a ton of BM films out there. Would anyone be interested in getting together some afternoon on the Playa and talking film? Maybe a filmmaker salon at Center Camp - or if anyone has a good place to gather.

I would like to meet up to go over some ideas for filming on the playa, more importantly I need to know the rules of camera use in the eyes of the willing, non-willing, actors, performers, etc... How can we collaborate? :P

Then I suggest you read this http://www.burningman.com/press/pressRa ... guidelines

I suggest Media Mecca or thereabouts. I'm a filmmaker too but have little desire to shoot another Burn. I'd rather participate. Plus Im already a reporter on the BRG . Feel free to ask for Gothalot behind Media Mecca. My trailer will be around there somewhere and I'd be happy to put some coffee on and shoot the poop on Film.

I operate a biz called wetshots here in So. cal, for the film industry. I,m bringing a water truck to the playa this year, if any one can think of something to do with it, drop me a line. Thanks Honey.............

by **Gothalot** » Fri Jul 23, 2004 11:21 am

Well Honey I get all wet just thinking of the prospect of a water truck. What ya say we chop the top and make us a swimming pool?

-Gothalot

by **Honey** » Sat Jul 24, 2004 7:00 pm

Theres no need to chop anything. The tops always open for a swim Goth.
Thats half the reason I drive it up ! Hope to see you there. Honey..........

Would you be intersted in playing the film on my site? Please stop by, sign up on my board and drop it off.

by **Gothalot** » Mon Jul 26, 2004 6:35 am

Well, I could see it now... Burning Manns Playa theatre. We could have hand and foot prints of famous Playa people at the entrance in Playa Mud. Hmmmmmm interesting. Would Larry get his hands dirty? Could we get Action Girl to stick her boobs in the mudd too?

They all would have to have their hands, boobs and booty's in the mudd.

Oooo sounds like a mudd people party to me.

I think it would be great to have a video projector and big screen set up for anyone to plug a laptop into. First signed up, first presented, in 5 minute bursts of creativity! No bars, no limits, even if you wanted to do a live mix with camera and something like Arkaos and laptop movies and images all mixed togther. What about a video feedback tunnel to compliment a laser tunnel? Just think of the possibilities.

by **Gothalot** » Wed Jul 28, 2004 5:57 pm

Ya know Im really into this filmmakers showcase and I see filmmaking as a very valid art. Its what I do. However this year I'd like to escape my TV or screens. Still having said that I could see myself getting sucked into mauiMacMans idea. Keep me posted.

by **joseffar** » Wed Jul 28, 2004 9:37 pm

Hey t.. sure.

I used to be a professional screenwriter I quit four five years ago after a life changing event at burningman and now i'm starting to write again.. It would be pure poetry to sit around and talk shop with other artists..

I would love to meet on the playa to discuss film. I'm not sure how I feel about taking footage about Burning Man, as I don't want make anyone feel uncomfortable. I've a video major and would love to talk to others with this interest.
peace and love,
Nicole

I'd like to invite everyone to participate in an event that I organize geared toward movie-makers and actors. Please read below. I hope you can make it.

CINEMASPORTS AT BURING MAN: MOVIES MADE ON THE PLAYA IN ONE DAY

Cinemasports is the iron chef of filmmaking. Cinemasports starts with the announcement of "ingredients" on Wednesday afternoon. Teams have one day to complete a movie with those ingredients. Finished movies screen on Thursday evening.

For Example, can teams make a 3 minute movie that includes a tattoo artist, a watermelon seed, and a conversation about hair replacement? We explore how the same ingredients inspire different creative minds. San Francisco Magazine says, "...the results are crazed but inspired."

Anyone can participate. Filmmakers, actors, and those who wish they were. Bring you own team or come alone, and bring a video camera if you have one.

KICK-OFF MEETING FOR PARTICIPANTING FILMMAKERS AND ACTORS
We announce ingredents and guidelines on
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1
2PM at The Man at the Center of Black Rock City
(6:00 side facing center camp)

SCREENING OF FINISHED MOVIES
The entire public is invited.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3
8:30PM Camp Videogasm
Located at Snowflake Villiage
Esplanade@ 8:00

Any questions?

On the playa Information is available at Camp Videogasm in Snowflake Village (Esplanade @ 8:00).

Okay taunt and tease me. Burning man makes a great location but geeze can I escape the medium? Filmmaking is a jealous mistress indeed.

Not to mention, have you seen what the Playa does to those DV cams? I suppose I could use my little canon A60, oh geeze now look at me I'm actually concidering it. No No no no no no. In any language its NO.

I suppose the stigma that still exists is that most Burners want to escape TV and its negative effect. Filmmaking still has a ways to go to be concidered a playa art form I think. I'm not trying to discourage it here in the forum mind you I just am trying to grasp what it is that doesnt settle well about it for me or what Im I fighting here, or why. I think my participation may be that I will write about it for the Black Rock Gazette.

Can the organizer of this filmmaking event please contact me at my trailer next to the Black Rock Gazette as soon as they come into town. I'll be in Black Rock early, look for the "Goth" on the 15' white trailer's door. Thanks.

Kubrick?
Documentary?
Anime?
Horror?
Donnie Darko?

Hey Jungle Joe, nice idea brother. I now the video nazi over at "hi" camp. He has quite the set up three screens all digital. His name is Stewart.

Maybe he would be down for a festival project.

Howdy kids-

I did indeed sign up to participate in Cinemasports as an actress
(i'm legit), but am suffering a lack of teammates...would love to connect with bright,
talented, inventive, and of course, hot, folks like y'all before hitting the playa stag...

TurtleButt in our camp might be interested she is a French actress involved heavily with a professional improve group. Come on by & i'll introduce you to her. Transcendent FunKtions 9:30 Mercury. Tomas

Tomas

thanks for all your advice - i think we've got everything figured out.

so, are you based at Transcendent Funktions? If i walk over there and ask for you, will I be turned away?

i'd like to say hi.

J.

by **nostratomas** » Thu Aug 26, 2004 1:51 am

why would you think that? does your personality suck that bad or are you that repulsively offensive in general? dont be so hard on yourself.

I am the co-King of Transcendent FunKtions and if you come seeking me, I assure you that one of my loyal (sometimes) subjects will direct you to the super busy me. I may be taking a bath or having a private swim with some dirty little bitches, or getting a massage but I'm sure that if you have to wait long, you will not be bored.

Damn - that's what I get for getting entirely buried up to my eyeballs in a project right before heading to BRC. It sounds like we might have set up something great there this year - but what does everyone say we keep this going and set something up next year.

I like the idea of a film festival on the Playa - but having never made a BM film - since I don't have the guts to bring my gear out in the dust - and I'm a little ambivilent about cameras there in the first place - would it be possible to show any old film we've made? What do you all think? If we start planning now...

And thanks for responding to all this and making this actually live.

By the way - how was everyone's burn?
