Mandy, Mandy, Mandy.

Mandy.com is a job posting site for people in the video production line of work. Every week the  site sends out new job postings.

For a long time there has been the "Kevin Maher's Mandy a**hole of the week" posting.
To win the weeks' title, you have to post a job that is totally asinine.

Like,


"Entry level/intern position. Must know Final Cut Pro X, Avid, Maya, Premier Pro 6, Cinema 4D, After Effects, Photoshop, InDesign, must have own transportation, willing to work nights/weekends/holidays. 4 years experience a must."

Today we have a winner I feel I must share.

"Seeking Experienced, fast, Very Creative and Ambitous DP with Red camera (preferable the scarlett or epic) with lighting package for Indie pop music video shooting in Philly area on Sept. 5th. Must have your own equipment /transportation. no diva attitues needed. this is an Indie music video so Only Seekignt hose that are fast moving, Very Creative with lighting and camera angles And can Think on their feet- Especially those Who bring. visual ideas to the table. Only responding to those who send links , rate, and equipment list. Looking to Hire Immed.


Paid: This is a low paid/no pay job "

[typo's are theirs]



(preferable the scarlett or epic)
 What do you think that camera costs?
Now remember, this is for a low pay/no pay job.
But you can put it in your portfolio/resume for future jobs.

"For the professional who wants it all, the EPIC-M RED DRAGON PRO COLLECTION brings you all of the gear and accessories necessary to tackle any shoot. This package is compiled of the finest RED gear, carefully crafted and designed to ensure professional level quality from the field to the sound stage. The EPIC-M RED DRAGON PRO COLLECTION has brought together the latest and greatest in RED technology and accessories to make it even easier to shoot EPIC."
 So.
Price.



No. You are wrong.




That is not what this camera costs. Remember, you can buy a house on Walnut Street, in Freeland PA, 4 bdr. 3 bth. for 49,900.
So how much for the camera?

$58,505.00

 Sure. I am going to drive to Philly to shoot a music video for free with my camera that costs more than my neighbor's home.

Feh.








Anyhow the girls and I went to the range for about an hour today,



My two are touching, the girls are drifting up to bull's eye.

Soon.

Soon they will be right on the mark.



[Yes I know it is a 50 foot pistol target, and upside down, but it was one of the only ones I had]
