EDIT: We have sourced our equipment! Thanks for the tremendous support
Hi guys, I have no idea if there is anyone here who can help us out, but all our contacts that I know here are petering out. Just thought I'd give it a try. (Feel free to move thread if there is a more appropriate place)
Anyhow, November 12th, a small team and I are traveling down to mexico where we will begin a one month journey up through mexico, through the US, and into Canada following the trails of human trafficking in the americas.
During that time we will also be interviewing officials in the various governments who's job it is to deal with this.
The point is that Human Trafficking (modern day slavery) is prevalent today and in our backyards. We intend to tell a few stories of real lives who've been affected by it and offer things that folks can do to help bring about a change.
Awareness to this issue (and other similar ones) has already been raised. There are many organizations who raise awareness, so we hope to use this film to not only continue that trend, but more importantly to offer suggestions and practical things that people can do to help bring about a real change in this area.
THE NEED: For our one month trip, we currently need
- 1-2 HD capable Pro-Sumer cameras. Something with an actual iris/focus ring and built in ND filters for ENG type shooting.
- 1-2 sturdy tripod's appropriate for the cameras to be used in interviews.
- 1-2 camera mountable shot-gun mics
- 1-2 Lavaliere mics and receivers for field use.
- 1 transformer for in-car charging of equipment
Our greatest need is just a camera. We don't have one yet, so even just one camera will get us on our feet.
We're all using our own money for this project and have just enough (maybe) to pay for food and gas, so funds for renting are non existent. If someone is passionate about this topic and has access to equipment I'd love to talk to you. PM me for contact info if you want to talk.
