World of Shooters - A Website Directory Review by Patty Mooney

Now that the Yellow Pages are going the way of telephone booths, telegrams and Victrolas, one turns to the Internet to search out anything and everything. This includes services and Patty Mooney Interviews Director Sam RaimiImage by cleopatra69 via Flickrproducts. As a San Diego video production services company that hires out camera crews, camera operators, producers, teleprompters, and editors, to name a few, we have listed ourselves on various online directories hoping to capture the right eyeballs that will enlist our assistance with their video production. I would say that more than 90% of our business comes from our presence online.

On one of my recent forays into the crashing waves of the Internet, I came upon a new venue for camera operators and Directors of Photography that seems promising. It's called World of Shooters and proposes to match up video shooters with potential clients. There is an annual cost to sign up but they promise not to extract any percentages from sales like other sites do. They've divided up shooters by the types of rigs they work with, as follows: Panasonic P2, Sony tapeless, Red, DSLR and Tape/Media.

It's a very uncluttered site with straight-forward goals. In this age where there is now an infinite spectrum of video cameras - and people who wield them - this promises to be an oasis for the thirsty, and discerning, client to find just the shooter they are looking for.
