Do you live in Los Angeles? Do you want to be a part of assisting the AVGN Movie. Here’s some things we could use.
* Anyone have an above ground swimming pool that we can film in? Photos would help.
* Any stedicam operators out there?
* Anybody have some monitors (24 inches or more) that we can borrow?
* Anyone have a street we can film at? Preferably with an East Coast kind of look.
Send an email to Help@AVGNMovie.com. We’ll look it over and get back to you if it’ll work out.
That’s all for now with Cinemassacre Classifieds.
March 7, 2012 at 8:44 pm
Too bad I don’t live in California :-/
March 7, 2012 at 9:09 pm
I live in FL. But I will see the Movie after it was released.
March 7, 2012 at 9:30 pm
Well, my husband and I live in the greater Los Angeles area (we’re not in the city proper, but we’re a bit east of Arcadia). He’s lived here his whole life, and had a follow up question for you:
Are you looking for a suburban street, a rural area, urban type street, ect? We may be able to help you out there. I also have an old CRT monitor you’re welcome to, though I don’t know if it’s exactly 24 inches. Thing’s a beast, though.
March 7, 2012 at 10:13 pm
@JamesRolfe If I can find a way to mail this monitor i got to you guys I would. Let me know. you guys can flat out have it. Oh, does it need to work? it may still run but I have no way to test it. Sorry
March 7, 2012 at 10:37 pm
@NEORaven667 @JamesRolfe he needs a high resolution video monitor, not one from staples. those are sold at b&h photo
March 7, 2012 at 10:24 pm
If I lived in LA, I’d give everything to these guys.
Come back to the East Coast!
March 7, 2012 at 11:31 pm
James, I have a suggestion, East Coast styled streets, why not try South Pasadena? “Halloween” made it so easy to identify with, because it looked like any neighborhood in America. Consider that.
March 7, 2012 at 11:55 pm
Unfortunately I’m on the other side of the continent, and in Canada.
March 8, 2012 at 12:47 am
if i was living in LA you could film in my street….. for free…
March 8, 2012 at 1:05 am
Check out the Orange Circle in the city of Orange. It’s LA’s neighbor, and it’s REALLY east coast.
March 8, 2012 at 1:41 am
Unfortunately I don’t have any of the things you requested, but I’d love to help otherwise!
March 8, 2012 at 1:45 am
Give me your mailing address I’ll send you a street and a pool
March 8, 2012 at 3:15 am
@YuL “Send an email to Help@AVGNMovie.com. We’ll look it over and get back to you if it’ll work out.”
There you go.
March 12, 2012 at 5:28 am
@YuL HAHAHAHAHAHA
March 13, 2012 at 9:53 am
@YuL Give me your mailing address and I will send you a dog turd. Thanks, AVGN. Lol.
March 8, 2012 at 4:26 am
Downtown Orange and Chapman University in Orange, CA both have a pretty East Coast look to them.
March 8, 2012 at 11:07 am
@SforzandoFilms Chapman’s my alma mater. Totally recommend it
March 8, 2012 at 5:25 am
You should get Simon from yogscast in this movie
March 8, 2012 at 6:33 am
I live in Europe and fulfill none of these requirements
Good luck
March 12, 2012 at 5:27 am
@Bud Spencer thanks for letting us know…..
March 15, 2012 at 7:50 pm
@danielxthextiger @Bud Spencer
pretty sure its a joke
March 8, 2012 at 6:45 am
Buy the monitors in bulk. LCDs will run about 70 each, CRTs even cheaper. Then when the movie is over put you johnny cock on it and sell’em on ebay. You will double your money back, Save that, if you want to pay for the shipping from Alabama I have 3 old 27 inchers you can have.
March 13, 2012 at 9:23 pm
@JeremyJones Hell yeah. Good idea.
March 8, 2012 at 9:05 am
Hi, I’m a steadicam operator, I’m from Europe though. I sent you an email as soon as word got out you were doing a feature, to offer my services
. I also have a monitor (or 2) you can use.
March 8, 2012 at 10:54 am
I love how people are posting useless things like “Unfortunately, I live in europe and can be of no assistance to you whatsoever…” lol?I have a pool you can use and a few monitors, send me an email at aalkouri@gmail.com
March 8, 2012 at 12:29 pm
@AdamAlkouri Weren’t YOU supposed to send HIM an email? Talk about useless posts. :p
March 9, 2012 at 5:53 pm
@Edward256 LMAO!
March 8, 2012 at 3:02 pm
@AdamAlkouri yeah, cause we all know everyone in L.A. is a brilliant writer/actor/director, lots of reasons why real artist shy away from those places.
March 8, 2012 at 1:14 pm
Hello,
My friend Chuck referred your project to me. Email me if you need any actors. Also I see a few people recommended Orange/Chapman University. I graduated from there. Awesome place. talktorebekah@yahoo.com
March 9, 2012 at 4:02 am
@bekahwho22 Yes because he’s going to go out of his way to email some random guy to ask him to come act…lol
March 12, 2012 at 5:26 am
@Khameleon …. i’m guessing by her e-mail addy that it’s a she, rebekah apparently.
March 8, 2012 at 2:59 pm
L.A. is too expensive, you shoulda’ been looking into Louisiana this time of year.
March 9, 2012 at 12:26 am
@Richy0Rich Exactly, so I can fucking help out XD
March 9, 2012 at 10:47 am
@zeldamaster17 it really is cheaper, though. L.A. is like that old uncle on welfare who wants every penny he is due. Lots of people in Louisiana would be willing to allow property and such to be used just as long as they are given an opportunity to be an extra. Hell, you don’t even have to put them in the movie. and don’t get me started on tax cuts, if it is all legit.
and,… there are a different people out here (don’t really need to say anymore).
March 10, 2012 at 2:37 pm
@zeldamaster17 i dont know about you, but If he didnt wnt me at my weakest, well I hope he can figure it out without going bankrupt.
March 8, 2012 at 5:34 pm
Chapman University all the way! I’m a current student there. The city of orange though is a good recommendation because there are some streets that have a rustic/east coast look to them. Look into it dude.
March 9, 2012 at 5:52 pm
@WyattWL you are supposed to send him an email.
March 8, 2012 at 6:17 pm
If you wanted an east coast look, why not film there?
March 8, 2012 at 9:07 pm
@DevGal89 I’m sure the majority of the film has to be shot in L.A, but for a small part they need an East Coast look. It’s too expensive to go back and forth and film. (Travelling costs, moving equipment, etc)
March 9, 2012 at 2:48 am
@DevGal89 This has already been explained many times. Most of the locations they’re shooting are in Cali, and the winter and even spring sometimes on the east coast can have too unpredictable of weather, or even harsh storms, which would totally fuck entire days of filming time. Time is money when making a movie, and things will go more smoothly in Cali. Besides, he said MOST of the film is being done on the East Coast. I’m sure some of it, like whatever footage of him in his “Nerd Lair”, etc, will still be done back home.
March 10, 2012 at 4:18 pm
@Devil_Rising @DevGal89 the machine.
March 14, 2012 at 12:38 pm
@Devil_Rising @DevGal89 Reminds me of the MTV Spring Break New York clip I was in… filmed in sunny California while it was storming back east… viewers were none the wiser!
March 8, 2012 at 8:28 pm
I sent an email for a monitor 24 inches or above.
March 8, 2012 at 8:38 pm
i unfortunlly cant help i dont even have 24inch monitor the only size monitor that i have might be a little too small considering its only 21inches.
March 8, 2012 at 8:52 pm
would be cool if someone from hollywood get you director and steadicam operator Troy Miller, James, though he is sought after by big-named studios and award show producers…
March 10, 2012 at 6:55 pm
@RobbieYang couldnt hurt to ask, buuuuttttt that might be the whole budget.
March 9, 2012 at 1:06 am
I have a big pool full of monitors here on the east coast.
I’ll film them with my stedicam and send you the footage.
March 9, 2012 at 5:49 pm
@nowhere4321 lol
March 9, 2012 at 8:19 am
I hate the fact that L.A. has become the epicenter of the movie industry. It’s so damn expensive there.
March 12, 2012 at 5:24 am
@gamez become? ummmmmmm….. anyone else wanna take this?

your learning from this film so take it all in, and keep in mind some options for future horror stuff.
March 9, 2012 at 1:25 pm
you’re looking for an East Coast-esque street in LA??? good luck, my friend, good luck….
March 10, 2012 at 9:59 am
@Marvipe if it was my first flick id a bought a shit ton of toys, and a warehouse!!!!! that is all.
March 9, 2012 at 3:46 pm
dang, what’s with all the backlash criticism, guys? you’re not being helpful if you’re telling james what he SHOULD have done. If you can help him with some locations or equipment, awesome. if you can’t, why bother saying anything?
March 10, 2012 at 9:58 am
@PatrickDoyle I hate you guys!
March 9, 2012 at 7:19 pm
wow those locations you mentioned earlier ARE pretty expensive I guess
March 9, 2012 at 7:20 pm
Damn, I have a pool i’d gladly let him use, but i live in friggin’ Wisconsin, not LA.
March 10, 2012 at 9:55 am
@Morgil above ground pools are soooooooo expeqwrnjkrfh$
March 9, 2012 at 9:21 pm
Everyone asking him to e-mail you: According to the post, YOU are supposed to e-mail him. He isn’t doing a full time job right now, he’s doing ten full time jobs and is probably unable to send anything to you. If you want the opportunity, be a go-getter and send him your stuff. The address is right up there!
March 9, 2012 at 9:29 pm
@Inspector Butters Can you email me and let me know what his email is thanks
March 10, 2012 at 1:13 am
@nowhere4321 @Inspector Butters Help@AVGNMovie.com
March 10, 2012 at 11:32 am
@nowhere4321 @Inspector Butters sure, would you like a cup of coffee while you wait?
March 12, 2012 at 5:23 am
@Inspector Butters yeah….. that’s how Spielberg does it….
March 9, 2012 at 10:00 pm
I don’t have a steadicam, but I could possibly operate one! I don’t know, it’d just be incredible to help out. But none of this stuff I can help with.
March 10, 2012 at 9:54 am
@bassbaitthemonkey sure, take my expensive camera a fuck around with it! we might need a shot where the camera gets dropped and kicked around.
March 11, 2012 at 9:56 am
@Richy0Rich @bassbaitthemonkey What is wrong with you? Seriously, is there something wrong with you?. Do you have a disorder? First you praise James, then you’re insulting him? Say something nice about the guy or offer nice constructive criticism. Until than, I’ll be flagging your comments until Mike get rid of you. Change your attitude
March 9, 2012 at 10:08 pm
….well James is starting from nothing, and thats something in my book (keep that in mind with this film and I am sure it will be entertaining). No need for big hollywood budget stuff just yet if you know your stuff.
March 9, 2012 at 10:11 pm
Pardon me, while i go film some cats for a charity.
March 9, 2012 at 11:39 pm
They filmed the outside of the Seinfeld apartments in Korea Town, Los Angeles. You may want to look around there. Also downtown LA has some buildings that look very much like New York buildings.
March 10, 2012 at 9:51 am
@fightgenie downtown L.A., that takes the cake, lmfao!!!!!
March 10, 2012 at 12:27 am
I live in the Soviet Union and cannot help with these requests. Best of luck though!
March 10, 2012 at 9:52 am
@Gonarhxus they should film the desert scenes in Africa. maybe they could capture Kono da’ clown in the process!
March 11, 2012 at 5:22 pm
@Gonarhxus How the fuck can you live in the Soviet Union?
March 11, 2012 at 11:36 pm
@19Szabolcs91
Boy are you dumb. He’s talking about Soviet Union, Idaho. Duh!
(just fake trolling you there man, don’t take it serious)
March 11, 2012 at 5:49 pm
@Gonarhxus The Soviet Union fell back in the late 80s there chief.
March 10, 2012 at 9:40 am

Today I received my signed photo!! Thanks a lot James and cinemassacre’s crew!!
Greetings from Germany!
March 10, 2012 at 2:22 pm
@Villarreal Same here, delivered safely to Scotland.
March 12, 2012 at 4:29 pm
@Jingleboy
March 12, 2012 at 4:29 pm
@Villarreal Mine was bent on the way to South Carolina
March 12, 2012 at 4:43 pm
@David0706 @Villarreal unfortuenately mine was bent too…I guess here in germany they don’t know what “DO NOT BEND” means…it’s tragic…but I’m still glad I received it
going to ask for compensation for this…waited so long for this and of course this had to happen…”Deutsche Post AG” I want some money for this damage 
March 12, 2012 at 5:07 pm
@jimmyeatsquaids @Villarreal I emailed chad@screwattack.com (but the reply said it was from James) and it just said “What a jackass mailman, sorry about that” and that was it. I don’t think much is going to be done about that, so I was thinking of just putting it in a frame or something.
March 13, 2012 at 5:17 am
@David0706 @Villarreal yeah it’s not like james can do anything about that…it’s not his business and it shouldn’t be…I’m glad I received this but I swear to you that the mail company will pay for this.
March 10, 2012 at 2:39 pm
screw over analyzers we need the circle-jerkers
March 10, 2012 at 2:39 pm
id laugh at it
March 10, 2012 at 3:24 pm
Is the classic nerd room gonna be in the movie? You know the basement where you filmed all of your AVGN videos
March 10, 2012 at 5:42 pm
@ThorvaldTheBad they need to nake a new DVD for christmas, instead of the burning yule log, the nerd lair for two hours.
March 12, 2012 at 5:16 am
@ThorvaldTheBad oh, you mean his basement? i’m pretty sure if james is having problems finding a pool in L.A. to film at….. he’s pretty pinched for other locations; meaning easily accessible/familiar settings will have to be used, such as his basement.
March 10, 2012 at 3:32 pm
you could make 5 star movie on a cell phone camera and 20 dollar budget, it all depends on the person behind the movie and the amount of creativity and the energy put into it. I think James has a big passion for films so I know he can pull this movie off. the only thing I would recommend is dont use those digital effects like you used in your avgn videos or use them very little, they will make it look too homemade and fake, like an amatuer youtube video or something
March 11, 2012 at 5:34 pm
@ThorvaldTheBad I’d love to see a 5 Star movie produced from a cell phone camera… lmao
March 12, 2012 at 5:14 am
@JeramieKruger see: blair witch project. terrible film, but it did very well considering the lack of everything they used to make it. it illustrates the point perfectly.
March 12, 2012 at 10:06 am
@danielxthextiger You said it yourself: “blair witch project. terrible film”. You really can’t compare the complexity of BWP to this movie. Imagine if everyone decided to shoot a film like that “because it is cheap and people will go see it”… well, they wouldn’t since it was made already. Kudos for the makers for finding a story that could be told as “easily” as it was. But the AVGN movie is not about a guy in a free location holding his own cheap camera and just talking.
By the way, James has already produced movies that are much better and sophisticated movies than the Blair Witch, like The Deader The Better, all the way from his parents’ basement.
March 10, 2012 at 5:52 pm
James made me laugh pretty good with his first few vids, hope he can recapture that again. funny is funny, and if it hurts somethings wrong.
March 11, 2012 at 5:27 am
@Richy0Rich You’ve posted about a thousand one-line comments. Shut the hell up already.
March 10, 2012 at 7:05 pm
i just say the same shit i hear on your videos ; )
March 11, 2012 at 4:05 pm
James or Mike should create a forum. It’ll be so much easier to communicate. Staff to fans, and fans to fans. I think it would be cool.
March 11, 2012 at 7:24 pm
@JoeyT14 Would be cool, but the trolls would only be more prominent.
March 11, 2012 at 5:47 pm
@Destoroyah James knows what hes doing. A nice chunk of the money is probably going to the cast and crew.
March 11, 2012 at 9:18 pm
I’m actually a pool technician and I service two above ground pools. I can ask my customers if they would be willing to let you use it for filming…. I live in Los Angeles. These pools are in the Los Feliz/Hollywood area. Email me at maxp84z@yahoo.com if you’re serious.
March 13, 2012 at 8:07 pm
@MaxRodgers
Of course, of course.
Let AVGN do the emailing for you.
