Cut with the very polite, considerate and friendly advice of someone on the community. Thanks for your insight!

The short version: I am in need of a space in which to shoot a film.

The Ballad of Burd Janet is seeking a location for a late January-early February shoot. (We have some flexibility with dates, but it should ideally take place on a weekend between 28 January and 26 February.)

The scene takes place in a maids' quarters. I'm looking for a room that looks like an old dormitory or military barracks -- a long room with beds lined up along the sides of the wall, with some windows along one side. (A less ornate version of the Hogwarts dorms in the Harry Potter movies would hit the spot.) Wood or wallpapered walls, no obviously concrete walls, etc. We don't necessarily need beds, but if the room has beds, so be it.

While the production has taken place in historic places in Medford, we would not necessarily need a historic location for this shoot. The location should be in the greater Boston area (Medford, Arlington, Somerville, Cambridge, etc), preferably in a ground floor location. We will need a location with electricity (we have a lighting kit and will be shooting during the coldest time of the year), as well as running water. Our cast and crew will be about 15 people. [Information about budgets and insurance: gone! poof!]

If you know of anything, please send it our way by responding to this post or emailing ogygia.ave AT gmail DOT com. I'd like to get stuff rolling ASAP.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Ah, so it was mentioning budgets and insurance that caused your previous posting to be classified as an "ad" and summarily deleted?

[modpixie.livejournal.com]

since my post was deleted during a time in which i had no internet access (and thus no ability to edit and repost it), one of the comments by someone in the comm makes me think this is so.

whatever.

Yes, that's what happened. You were flagged to cut your "ad", I challenged that it wasn't an ad because you didn't outright offer pay, just stated a budget, and zapppp, gone.

Anyway, hope you find your shooting location. Wish I knew of such a place, but if I happen to hear of one, I'll definitely let you know.

thanks, miss.

i do wish i'd been given a chance to "state my case" (as it were), but i have little time to get involved in internet drama.

[talonvaki.livejournal.com]

It's an "ad" whether or not you offer pay. I would rather see things like this cut, than not cut, because 99% of the time I don't care about them and would rather not have to scroll past them. So thank you for cutting this ad.

wow, thanks so much for your insight! i can sleep peacefully now knowing that you approve of my posts.

You are quite welcome; as long as they're behind a cut, you have no reason to lose any sleep.

You have repeatedly your problem has been uneven enforcement, and not the rules. No one wants to see further splintering. If you agree to enforce the current rules fairly, I will add you on as co-maintainer. How's about it?

[neitherday.livejournal.com]

Furthermore, if you accept, I will institute a rule that all future new rules must be agreed upon by consensus of all maintainers.

I would venture to say that it is not necessary to both cut the ad and cut the information related to budgets and insurance. But, your current post seems perfectly acceptable.
