Squackle.com! The Funniest Site on the Net

Interested in a low-cost solution to your production problems? Hire davepoobond of Squackle!

I’ve got lots of experience doing different sorts of production, advertising, writing, and web site stuff. I’ve listed everything I’m confident in actually providing a service for below, but if you’ve got something else in mind, shoot me an e-mail at davepoobond@squackle.com .

All estimates are free for any business proposal, and payment method will be discussed once there is an agreement in place. It IS possible that I may not ask for monetary payment if there is a benefit to be had by working with you. Its probably also worth it to say that if a project requires manpower, I do know other people that can work with me to help achieve your goals.

Web Site Management – Do you have a web site for your small business or personal endeavors, but don’t have enough time to keep it current when you just happen to have something to update your site to make it feel more alive to your customers? If you would like to have someone to simply update and maintain your site (to make sure it doesn’t encounter any serious problems due to neglect), you can find a possible solution in myself.

Web Site Production/Design – What if you don’t have a web site for your small business or personal endeavor? If you need something simple that will be able to serve the needs of your customers, as well as yourself or your employees, I can design and produce a web site for you (using HTML), or consult in which direction you should take your web site in before shelling out the big bucks to get a professional web design company to design your dream web site. I prefer to work closely with a client (if they think it would be beneficial) to get exactly what they’d want.

Freelance Writing – Have a blog, web site, or newspaper, and looking for a writer that can help you pick up some slack? I offer freelance writing services. I’ve written reviews, news announcements, screenplays, just about everything under the sun that has to do with creativity or editorial content. Rates vary depending on the type of article, the length required, and how much research is involved.

Voice Acting (Voice Overs) – Not everyone has a voice made to listen to, but if you need someone to do a voice over for your video, film, or animated production, such as character voice overs or narration, I can lend my voice to your cause. I tend to find my voice more acceptable for comedic purposes, but I’m open to taking more serious foundations in voice production if you like the way my voice sounds for your ultimate goal.

Video Production – As a film major, I’ve got all the skills required to create a video production from start to finish. If you need someone to help you create a video for a presentation, or if you’re a student who just needs someone who knows what they’re doing with a camera instead of relying on your buddy from class who’s never held a video camera in his life, you may consider hiring me. Unfortunately this service is only available for people in the Southern California area at this time.

Video Editing – If you’ve got video and you want to make it all come together, I offer video editing services. Unlike video production, I do not have to be present during the actual production of the video, and what you give me is what I work with. If interested, you’d have to send me a MiniDV tape or DVD with the video footage, as well as a script (if applicable), and other information that would help in the process.

Sound Production – If you need a particular sound for your audio/video production, I may be able to help you acquire the sound and send it to you in a format of your choice.

Sound Editing – If you’re in need of someone to help you present your audio production to others, I am skilled in sound editing. While most bands, DJs, filmmakers, or what have you like to see their production from start to finish, sometimes having an outside pair of ears help fine tune their production and get advice on what to do is beneficial to their end product.

Advertising – Have a small business and want to advertise it? I can help you get started advertising your company to the world and get you on a path to success. Advertising is not a cost, it is an investment — when you invest in advertising, it typically pays off in the form of more business. If you need help figuring out a slogan, what mediums are good to advertise in, concepts for ads, figuring out a marketing strategy, or web site/search engine optimization, I can help you in achieving your goals.

Creative Consultancy – Have writer’s block? Need feedback on a movie/commercial you just made? Need someone to proofread your written work? Add jokes to a screenplay? Its always nice to have someone with no bias read your script and tell you what they truly think about it and where it needs to be improved before you publish or try to shop it around to possible buyers.

Acting – Although I’m not a professional actor, nor do I aim to be one, I can act as well as improv if you’re in need of someone who does either. I find myself to be more natural at being comedic than serious, but some say comedy is harder than drama, after all. I’m sure I’d be able to pull off something serious if you wanted me to audition for it. As with video production, this is restricted to the Southern California area only, unless you’re willing to pay for all expenses.
