DV Info Net - DVDA: DV Movie Makers Forum on Delphi

Chris has been kind enough to make an exception in allowing me to publicize a forum where I'm a moderator.

It's called DVDA (DV Discussion and Advice) which is a movie maker's forum located on Delphi. DVDA has an active core of participants who are indie filmmakers working in film and DV, professionals working in TV and film, and eager students who are plunging into the DIY and low-budget world. Among the moderators is Matt Fraction from MK12 Productions (www.mk12.com | soon to be highlighted in the upcoming ResFest DVD), Janet Harvey (JungleGirlStudios.com, a former producer for DC Comics Interactive division) and myself as CHIEF NEWBIE willing to ask the embarassing questions others fear to ask.

Among recent discussions has been methods for DIY blood hits, a question regarding the legality of blowing up a car in the middle of Queens, a discussion about handheld methods and a planned 5 minute DVDA short film challenge.

The mandate of the forum is to provide a mix of technical and creative advice to low-budget and first-time moviemakers. This is facilitated using Delphi's image posting, and easy cut and paste forum tools that make it easy to bring in information from other parts of the web. DVDA has been open for less than two weeks and already has over 100 members.

I hope to encourage cross-pollination between these two forums and will encourage DVDA members to join DVInfo.net for questions regarding camera technology. DVDA also has a no JERKS policy so be comfortable there.

Join as a visitor or member. Membership in Delphi is free. (Advanced users are allowed free run of Delphi software, however). Hope to see some of you there.
