Anyone from the Greater Boston area?
 

I am very impressed with DV Info Net. Smart, knowledgeable, polite people with "real names". Come to think of it, maybe that's partly why we're so polite - we can't hide behind a pseudonym.

I live outside Boston, Mass near Acton. I am working on documentaries focused on global warming. I recently left a career in financial services web applications.

I'd love to find some folks to collaborate with. I want to educate and entertain without preaching. Global Warming is a critical problem but it is definitely solvable.

Shoot me an email or post a reply if you would like to talk.

Hi Jay. My name is Scott, I live near you, in Ayer. I'm an audio engineer (specializing in location work, mostly classical and/or acoustic). I started offering video along with the audio a while back. I thrash around with a couple of XL1's and FCP, no clue what I'm doing but managing to get projects done anyways. I'd like a chance to email or chat or even get t ogether, if you feel so inclined, just to trade notes, ideas, etc. I've no idea of your druthers but I may also have some freelance for you, I occasionally need a cam 2 operator. Just blast me an email if interested - scott@meadowmedia.net

PS - I don't have religion about global warming but last month's issue of National Geographic really got my attention - said we have about 10 years to start turning it around. I'd also be interested in a dialog about that.

Best, Scott Loiselle

Hi, Jay. I live in Brookline. My friend Esra at Northern Light Productions might also be able to help you. What is your plan?

Jay,

I’m not in Boston but if you ever are in need of assistance down Connecticut way I will help if I can.

On global warming…
Whilst I believe whole heartedly that we need to eliminate as much of our pollution as possible, I would like to point out that if it were not for global warming we would still be back in the Ice Age… ;-)

We may be neighbors soon
 

I am currently in San Jose, CA, but my wife is contemplating a relocation with her employer to Bedford, MA. (She makes substantially more money as a biologist than I do with my video productions, but I'll bet I have more fun at my job).

At any rate, I'll look you up when I get to the area.

Scott, Emre, Bill, Steve -

Thanks for the posts. I've been offline for a couple of weeks but it was nice to see you posts now that I'm back.

I'll be in touch.

Best wishes,

hi jay,

i'm right in boston. can't say i've done anything remotely interesting as i'm working fulltime and studying full time (both non-DV-oriented).

have you seen an inconvenient truth?

BTW GBH is right in Brighton! =). lots of documentary people in/around boston! it's a great place for that.

i'm more into stylized fiction... sorry =(.

PS here's an awesome website for the NE area:
http://nefilm.com/

lots of resources on that site.

I'm also in the Boston area. I'm in the middle of a big project that has a documentary part to it. But it's not about global warming, however.

I guess we can put a link to our own websites? www.catzillaproductions.com is my posse.
