I am trying to make a DVD of my music group Anuna in Ireland. all the shooting is out of doors [saves money on any lights], and I am doing all of it [saves camera operator fees] including the catering...Is there anyone on this list from Ireland who can point me at any resources that might be available here to amateur DV makers?

BTW - purchasing anything in Ireland connected with filming and DV is an over-priced nightmare. can anyone advise on rental of equipment in Ireland?

I have a VX2000 with Final Cut Pro, so I'm looking for a suitable steadicam if at all possible.

Thanks

Michael

If you don't get a response from any Irish member here, you might like to try the same question on www.simplydv.com, because I know a few Irish guys who post there regularly.
(Chris, I hope you don't mind me referring accross to the other site ;-) )

Hi Michael,

There is one user here from Ireland his name is Patrick Grealy..He uses the same camera that i use.. He may be one person to help you out.. Look at the top of the Forum page and click on members to find him (and his email)

Although I am in the states if you need any help with producing the DVD, I may be able to help.. I am a fan of Irish Music, and visited Ireland last year..

I wish you luck..
