New Documentary shot inside San Quentin Prison on the Infinity DMC 1000/20 at DVinfo.net

I'm shooting a Doc in San Quentin, and starting next week I'll be using the new Thompson Grass Valley Infinity DMC 1000/20. I'll be blogging about my experience with the camera at www.trustcommunity.org just click "blog". We have an introductory trailer up on the site that we put together over the last year and a half working in the prison. Let me know what you think and pass the link around, we really need community support.

Thanks,

It looks like our server just suffered a DDOS attack, but it should be back up in a few hours. You can still see the trailer at my site www.jessedana.com just click "documentary".

Hey Jesse,

Great clip, really hit home for me (I have a family member currently incarcerated). I'm in the Bay Area too so if you need help shoot me an email.

Jessee, well done. I work for CDCR and am familiar with the program and most of the folks in your video. I only had one comment... the closing clip of Warden Ayers is used to support the prior statements made by the previous interviewee, but the way you only use a portion of what Warden Ayers said makes it appear that you are using his statements potentially out of context. It would be better if there was a connector in his words to the prior statements.

I'm not making this very clear, but it just felt like you took a clip of someone saying "it's terrific!" and appended it to a clip of something else... the viewer doesn't really know if the "It's terrific" statement was made about or even in conjunction with the prior statement.
