HongKong
 

I hope I am not OT with this one.
I already introduced myself a few months ago, but now I am off to Scotland for a few weeks in St.Andrews.
On the way I will be transitting at HK. My family and myself have 9 hours wait at the airport.
So we are taking the Airport Express into HK to have a few hours sightseeing.
A 1 hour ferry trip around the harbour is on the cards. Maybe take the MTR from Central over to Tsim Sha Tsui before going back to Sentral and then back to the airport.
I am a bit apprehensive about all the tales of pickpockets etc. I will be carry a nice new Sony Z1.
If there are any ex-pat video folks with a little freetime on Monday 18th and you are interested is having a chat and maybe pointing us in the correct direction, please let me know here.
I will contact you privately after that.

Hi from Alaska...:-)
 

I'm a long time "lurker" on these boards that decided to join up for real.
After i graduated from college with a degree in TV production/broadcasting, I worked as a news photographer/editor for awhile, then ended up starting my own video production company because the pay was so crappy working for TV stations. So now I shoot and edit, make graphics, score music and everything else .....sometimes the work gets slow around here but it gets busy sometimes too. Right now is busy because it's political season here. SO hi to everyone, and thanks for all the great info everyone continues to give out on this board, it has helped me in the past! Feel free to check out my demos on my website......the website isn't much but I needed to put something up with demo videos for clients to look at.

I'm new on this board. Just finished a Media / TV Production degree. No equipment of my own. But I was making short films, docs, event videos and some wedding/corporate as well as UNI stuff. All unpaid for showreel and experience. Am hoping to get started in business by early next year. On here for advise and information.

Greetings from a newbie
 

I registered under an alias, in case you couldn't tell. Then I realized all the warnings of no aliases.

I'm willing to change my member name to my real name, Casey Fisher, but don't know how to do this.

Thanks for any assistance.

Denver Area Test Screening August 1st
 

Just wanted to say hello to all the Colorado filmmakers out there.

We're wrapping up post on our locally shot HDV indie film and we're holding a DVD test screening next week to get feedback on what's working and what's not working. I know I'm always interested to see what others are doing on low budgets and now I have something to show in return. It won't be a completely blind test screening (a lot of people will probably find it through the MySpace page) but we're asking close friends and family to hold off, so that we can get as objective of feedback as possible. The theater seats 160 and the more people we get the more feedback we get.

Here's the details -

Time and date:

Tuesday, August 1st
7 - 9 PM
Doors open at 6:30, film is at 7.
After the film you'll be asked to fill out a comment card. Anyone wishiong to stay afterwards for an open discusion is free to do so.
