nancy what are you shooting with? i might be able to come out and give you a hand. send me an email with some details. thanks

Nancy Scott · April 2nd, 2004, 09:57 AM

Hi, Kris. Nice to meet you after seeing your posts here. We're shooting with the XL1s. We also have a back-up XL1. We're pretty well equipped, except for *people.* :-) I'll contact you off-line with more details.

Maybe we could start a DC/Northern VA user group? There is one in Bethesda, but that is quite a trip for me and others. Any ideas?

Kris Holodak · April 2nd, 2004, 11:18 AM

I've been to the one in Bethesda once. I think I would have an easier time making downtown immediately after work rather than evening in the suburbs even though Bethesda is not that hard for me to get to.

What does it take to start something like that? Find a room somewhere and put an announcement on the boards? A different list I'm on does lunch/happy hour sorts of gatherings for sub-groups, which keeps it less formal and avoids the finding a room part.

Barry Gribble · April 2nd, 2004, 12:17 PM

Sounds great... I am in Mount Pleasant, which is just the next area up from Adam's Morgan. I have enough space at my house or office to get a decent sized group together.... The house is roomier, and has the TV, the office has the computer....

I am definitely up for a monthly get together ... show films, talk shop, I'm all over it...

Joe Carney · April 2nd, 2004, 12:33 PM

sounds good. Where is Mt Pleasant?
I bet we could find some space in the DC metro area that would be good for everybody. Hopefull near a metro stop.

I could probably get my hands on a portable lcd or dlp projector, and I have a laptop fast enough to show dvd and/or Quicktime/WindowsMedia stuff. Don't have a DV VTR though.

I could put together a portable digital theater and bring it to where ever.

Even though I use Vegas, I'd prefer a group that concentrated on actually making movies and/or discussing them, independent of platform or software.

Kris Holodak · April 2nd, 2004, 12:43 PM

I agree on platform/software independent. I think I'd end up in a really small group if I were only looking for people who did exactly what I do (Premiere 6.5 for web only delivery). Besides process and aesthetics make for more interesting discussions anyway imo.

Barry Gribble · April 2nd, 2004, 12:47 PM

The closest main intersection to my house is probably 16th & Columbia... I am about a 10 minute walk from the Columbia Heights Metro...

Joe Carney · April 2nd, 2004, 12:50 PM

As a DC newbie, where is Columbia Heights? Say in relation to Union Station (I think that is the main metro station in DC).

Here's the metro map. It's the green line toward greenbelt if you're coming from downtown.

PS: most people would say metro center is the main metro station, Union station has the metro run through it (red line only) and is the main amtrak/marc/vre station.

Thanks, as I said, I'm a DC newbie.

looks like I can take the blue or orange from Rosslyn to L'Enfant plaza then take the green right up to Columbia Heights.

Barry Gribble · April 2nd, 2004, 04:10 PM

I am all for the platform independent discussions also.... the technical issues can be resolved through text... the face to face time I think is better spent on the artistic/inspiration issuess...

I'm excited.

I've been learning a lot in the last year, working on a music docementary. One thing I've learned is that I could probably get better footage if I had at least 2 people to run 3 cameras instead of one person running all of them.

I'm looking for some one familiar with the Sony TRV 950 and live music. The person will run the camera during shows and handle a mic boom for pre show B-roll shots as well as a variety of on-set duties such as moving props or setting up equipment.

The next shoot will be in Charlottesville VA 4-23-04 and two more in May, 5th and 29th. More to be scheduled.

I've been working on the project for the last year and would like to find a person who is willing to work for little money and the experience, as well as a listing in the movie credits.

Must be in Roanoke VA or able to get here or to the shoots. The band is a rock band which plays from NYC to GA and in between. The band's web site is indecision.com and a sample movie trailer can be seen at daveperry.net/pages/movie_trailer.html

Jim Giberti · April 4th, 2004, 03:58 PM

I've got a couple of long term projects that require some sooting in some varied locations. We're not going to be able to cover all of the locations because of the scheduling overlaps, so I was hoping to find some community members that might be able to do some pickups in some pretty varied locales.

Right now I'm looking at Abu Dhabi, Houston Texas, Salt Lake City Utah, and some possible Pacific Rim locations. I'd like to find a few Xl1s shooters so that we can accurately match setups, but due to the variety of locations, I'd also like to hear from DVX users. Hey we're all one big family after all.

Thanks,

What exactly do you need in Utah? E-mail me with specifics.
