Hi,

In the last one and a half weeks I have been working
on my first short movie. Shot with an XL1S, editted on
Premiere and After Effects. It isn't finished yet, but I
have learned some much valuable lessons and other
information.

I was thinking of submitting an article to the watchdog
here about my experience, findings etc. Would anyone
be interested in this? (Chris?). If so I'll start writing
this weekend.

I will let everyone know how everything develops!

Rob,

I'm always interested in hearing about "hands on" experience. Count me in as a reader.

John

Definately in...

Articles like this are what makes the Watchdog what it is. Go for it!

Okay... great response! I know what I must do then :)
I'll start working on the article this weekend. I hope I
can finish it fast, but the short movie and some other
work is there too. Perhaps I am going to split it up into
pieces.

Thanks for the nice response

Hope you had a good trip.

Thanks Ed, but I'm home just long enough to do some laundry. Heading out again in a couple days. Between now and NAB, I no longer where I'm going or where I've been. I just show up at Austin-Bergstrom International and they point me to the right gate.

Yep. Absolutely. Go for it.

A little update for everyone interested. I have written around
4 pages at this moment (damn, that goes fast!). I plan to have
the thing completed tonight so that Chris can put it up ASAP.

Just send it over by e-mail whenever you're ready, Rob... thanks,

The e-mail is on its way to you now Chris! Please let me know
what you think and how it goes.

Thanks!

Thanks Rob; will try to get it online as soon as possible.

My articles are on-line! You can find them at Chris's
site (http://www.dvinfo.net/). Go directly into the
Articles menu and you'll see the following new
articles under DV Production Notes:

My First Movie: Taking Those First Steps, Part One
My First Movie: Taking Those First Steps, Part Two

Please let me know what you think!

Thanks!
