I'd like to meet:

As a uni student, i'm currently seeking people to be involved in shoots for my course portfolio work. I cannot afford to pay anyone for their time at this point but hope that great work for everyone's respective portfolios would prove beneficial enough. Having just moved to Melbourne i need to re-establish a network of creatives.

All of my course work is to be shot on colour transparency (film) so i need serious people on board who understand that each shot is important. I'll mainly be shooting on 35mm film, but will also be trying my hand at medium format for a few shoots.

I'm open to ideas if you have any as i only need to achieve a few key aspects in a shot to be able to use it for course work.

!!Note!!: Unless i'm paid or a shoot fits in with my course requirements i'm shootly strictly for my own portfolio at the moment.

Music:



Movies:

includes: Donnie Darko / Tank Girl / Dancer in the Dark / Requem for a Dream / Ghost World / Ju-On: The Grudge / Empire Records / Hackers / Kill Bill / Quills / The Rules of Attraction / Interview with the Vampire / Queen of the Damned / The Fifth Element / Dracula / The Crow / The Nightmare Before Christmas / Dead Leaves / Perfect Blue / My Neighbour Totoro / X / Voices of a Distant Star / A Series of Unfortunate Events / The Butterfly Effect / Teknolust / The Lost Boys / The Last Unicorn / Fern Gully / Howl's Moving Castle / Party Monster / C.R.A.Z.Y......
