We are looking for a production designer for the pilot episode of a new comedy web series. The pilot will be short at various locations around the Bay Area.
Responsibilities: design the visual feel of the film, location scouting, obtain props, dress sets, various aspects of pre-production and production.
Commitment: several hours per week for the next few weeks and all day June 25 & 26 when we’ll be shooting.
Compensation: The pay is negotiable. It will be low as this is a pilot episode with a trimmed down crew and budget. If the series gets picked up, there is opportunity for future work with larger budgets.
If you’re interested, please contact grant@grantlyon.com
About the Project:
Podcasting keeps getting more and more popular. People start recording new podcasts every day, even people that don’t have any idea what they are doing. “The Podfather” is the comedic tale of two rival podcast gangs and the podfather that’s pulling the strings behind the scenes. It’s “The Godfather” meets “West Side Story” without the music. Six episodes are already written but we want to shoot a pilot for episode one and pitch to IFC, Atom, MSN, among others. If the pilot is picked up by one of these networks, then we will film additional episodes.
