George I emailed you last week but I don't know if your email still works let me know..

Mr, Godbout,

I have not recieved any emails from you.. Please sent again..
Thanks..

Joe, I don't think I could handle watching another forum. I frequent 3 now and that takes up a lot of my time.

However .... I agree that there are a lot of people with like interests in Florida. We should channel our resources to create a movie or something.

BTW, I did get my DVX100 and the quality is awesome.

Need immediate help with script breakdown/schedule
 

Looking for someone experienced in script breakdown and scheduling to go through a feature horror script. I have meetings set up with investors and time has gotten completely away from me and I need help getting ready.

I need a completed breakdown and schedule before July 13th.

Sorry there is no pay for this just credit. Let me know what you think.

Working title: DEADSVILLE

Logline: A gang of bank robbers hold up in a deserted Texas ghost town after a big heist. When the sun goes down, a band of gunslingers from the town's past are resurrected as a hungry pack of flesh-eating zombies. A showdown ensues between the heavily armed modern-day crew and the supernatural denizens of Deadsville.


contat Mark: margerake@communeanimations.com SUBJECT: Script breakdown/schedule

It sounds like a decent story... almost like Dusk to Dawn with a twist. I look forward to seeing it!

Jim, I agree. the problem is most of us are kind of spread out. FL maybe skinny, but it sure is very very long. BTW Jim, how was spring break this year?

So far, all the FL folks are saying yeah, so I will look into it.
Yahoo is an option, but the down side is the advertiseing, and since you have to give an email address in order to post, we all know what that means.

Before I start something, would like ideas on what type of issues to cover.
1. Should it be FLA vegas users only?
2. Should it include users of Acid Pro and Soundforge?
I only say that because it is quite common for people to have all three apps. (Like me).

More interested in making movies/shorts/commercials with other vegas/sofo product users instead of a purely tech support forum.

The only issue I see here, is are there enough Vegas/sofo users in FL to make it worth the effort. I'm talking we need more than 10 or 12 to do this. Otherwise we should just exchange emails and go from there.

So if you other vegas users know yet more vegas users... try to conduct your own poll and find out what the interest is. Then get back here and let me know. Same for AcidPro and Soundforge users.
Lets go out and scare the Mac folks, hehehe. Lets get our shot on IFC,Sundance and Bravo to tell people all they need is Vegas and a video camera to make a movie.

I see that this was a May posting with no response - are you still looking ?? I may be able to assist. email me at SNWG01@aol.com

Best Regards

Will the writer be paid, or is this solely an 'independent collaboration'?

Initially we would like to develop the script into a short as an independent collaboration--meaning no exchange of money. However, if the film is purchased as is or if the idea is purchased to be made into an actual full length feature, then the writer will most definitely be reimbursed for their work based and will be invited to extend the script.

This is an opportunity for a symbiotic relationship; we have the equipment, talent, direction and funds to produce a short, but what we don't have is a solid script.

Thanks for the question...

All Hands on Deck in No. VA
 

A friend and I are new to the world of dv. We stumbled on this list and it seems to be a tremendous resource. Lots of knowledgeable people and good advice in the water here!

They say that all art comes from suffering and since we're both writers we've decided to really torture ourselves by making a short film. The film would be a stand alone segment from a full length feature film script we've been working on.

It goes without saying that we have zero experience, zero budget and zero cast and crew. Save for a recently acquired XL1s, Adobe Premiere and our PC's, it's another zero in the equipment department.

We're looking for collaborators in Northern VA/ Washington D.C.who would be interested in working with us to put together this film and possibly a few others down the line. If our first experience
in doing this stinks, then we'll probably be back for more punishment. Sound, lighting and production...come on down!

Drop us a line off-list if you'd like to talk.

Sponsor needs member in NYC for DV Expo
 

One of our DVi sponsors needs a helping hand at the upcoming DV Expo show next week. This is a paid gig lasting three days which basically involves working the booth on the tradeshow floor. The dates are July 9, 10, 11 and there's more show info at http://www.dvexpo.com/east/. The position is available to a DVi member currently living in the NJ or NYC or LI area and should not be a stranger to this message board (preferably at least a Regular Crew member). Contact me via email for more details if you're interested and qualified. Thanks,

Regarding the South Florida regional group, with interest in Vegas video, Sound Forge, Acid, and of course shooting, lighting, etc, I have a suggestion :
Several of you are north of Palm Beach, several are south.
There is an Internet Cafe just east of the Lantanna rd exit on I-95 ( this is just south of West Palm, but north of Boynton Beach) .

This cafe has a big Plasma screen TV we can play DVD's of our work on, and 3 computers we could potentially load Vegas and other programs on. The Internet Cafe is owed by a friend of mine, so I know we could do this. The cafe has great coffee, a really nice meeting place atmosphere, and easily big enough for up to 2 dozen people to have a meeting.

If you guys like the idea of having some meetings at this place, where we can do some collaboration/show & Tell/ techniques in editing, play videos we have done on plasma screen, etc, then let me know. I could certainly shoot a video of the cafe and place it on a stream server so you can see what this place looks like.

The cafe will like this, because having Internet user groups visiting the cafe will be an effective model for them to look towards for future marketing.
Everything would be free, as long as several of us don't mind buying coffee :-)

And for the non-Vegas using heretics, there could still be plenty of technique sharing which could benefit in both directions :-)

what needs to be done?

Great idea Dan.
Lantana is not to far from me (SW Boca).
I love coffee though I mostly doing the impotent swill stuff now days.

Anyone else, please post here and we can set a date.

anyone from Bakersfield, California reading this?
 

specifically any owners of a Canon Xl-1 and equipment. actors and other crew members wouldn't be bad to find either, heh.

Helping Hand
 

Anyone need an additional hand with:

- Editing in Final Cut Pro 4
- Web Design / Hosting
- Shooting: GL2

Anything else. I am willing to help.

Thanks.

Aaron

Aaron, by HB do you mean Hermosa Beach...?

If so, you may want to check out the Instant Films festivals that are presented every few months in LA. We are always building a database of skilled and creative hands to help with the 8 films that are made over a weekend, and I can tell you that it is a creative rush. Our website is www.instantfilms.tv. Check out some of the films, come to the next festival in August, and if it's something you are interested in, drop us a line and we can talk further.

Charles.

I would love to help! I checked out the web site. Very cool.

HB = Huntingotn Beach. A little south but not too far.

Talk to you soon.

FCP Editor
 

hey people, I posted for a FCP editor awhile ago to join our team on an ambitious project and a couple of people answered. due to a computer failure I lost the info so if still interested please send it to me again. also if you didn't answer the first time here is a second chance, you don't get too many of those! the job is unpaid upfront but for the right individual(s) there is a chance at owning a % of the project. to see what the project is you can check out the website at www.streetsoaps.com. looking for someone based in NY or close by...or if you are the bomb wherever! thanks

Shooting in Portland, OR
 

Howdy -

I am mostly free this summer and would be interested in giving a hand to anyone with a serious shoot.

I can add in my GL1 + mics. I've worked on PCA shows and produced a few of my own. I am interested in improving my technical knowledge of putting together complete programs and especially editing technique (Premiere for now, FCP in future).

Sincerely,
Ron Johnson
adhocMedia@comcast.net

Well if you still have things going in a year or so maybe I will catch up with you guys some time. Hopefully I will be back in Tampa or Orlando by this time next year.

I dont get it the years I spent in Central FL I never found many people who were into DV. But now after I am gone I find people. Just the luck huh.

BTW I have a small Productions company with a few PDX10s and a Premiere, Vegas, AfterEffects suite I also have FCP on the mac. My affilate in Tampa which I have full use over has a recording studio with ProTools and Emagic. I can mix and output Dolby Digital 5.1 and 7.1. I also have full access to the Keyboards samplers Soft Synths and Virtual perccusion. If you have any questions about the capabilitys of the studio feel free to ask. Oh BTW I dont expect to be paid unless work that I have a big part in makes a large amount of money

Thanks

I know where Lantana is, that's not really too far from me here in North Palm Beach. I am about 10-12 miles from West Palm Beach and Lantana is a bit farther south.

Raleigh, NC assistance needed
 

Hi Y'all....I'm in Raleigh, new to this area and need a little help. Would someone PPAAA...LEASE consider donating the use of a lighting kit for one afternoon? The project I'm shooting is a 3 minute Habitat for Humanity/Wake County promo video. It is a simple talking head piece for which I need these lights (have not purchased a kit for our company yet...still deciding what is current best avenue), very brief, no outdoor high speed stuff to endanger your gear :-)

FYI I worked in the film biz for 10 years prior to moving here (please see resume at "http://www.fatcatmedia.biz/aboutus/rresume.html" & production details "http://www.fatcatmedia.biz/aboutus/details.html") so your gear will be in experienced hands. I will gladly give you a deposit and a tax credit receipt from HFH for an "in kind" donation.

BONUS: You will be credited in a video containing local and very possibly national celebrities from this area. Cannot reveal that info just yet (confidentiality agreement) but will provide you with a copy of the finished piece for your portfolio. I will also offer my services in return (good old fashion horse swap)...let me know what you need and I'll suggest where I can help. Your choice of service. Please email me with subject line "Light kit" to: "fatcatmedia@yahoo.com"

I'm particularly found of Arri kits and realize these are very expensive. Prefer
static lights over strobes.

cool Bob, sounds like we are starting to get somewhere.
I'm surprised at how many people don't want to meet. It's like they are hiding something. My son has found out the hard way, a lot of people down here claiming to be in the business, aren't.

Oh well.

Hah maybe I will fly down for this one. But seriously I should be in FL sometime late next month if you have a meeting while I am in town maybe I could stop by and form another reason to hurry up and move back.

I am always willing to help and I would love to be in a DV group. Like I said the only problem is that I wont be back for about another 10 months or so....I have to wait for my wedding next year.

Two possible ideas on this...1., We might need to let more people from the main DV I comunity know about this, assuming that the "Helping Hands" discussion is limited to a much smaller subset of people...2., Lets work on picking some video topics we can really benefit from by getting together. In other words, let start planning what we will talk about, what we will go over on the computers with Vegas et al, and what we will play on the Plasma screen TV to show finished products.

Also, the name of this meeting place I'm talking about is the "Daily Grind", located next to Body Dynamics on Lantanna Road less than half a mile from I-95, and a few hundred yards from Federal Highway. Its on the south side of the road.

I'm doing a shoot this weekend for a Mountain Bike DVD, but I'm crew on this. The production is being run by a good friend of mine, Robert Starling, of Starling Productions. Robert is like the "Time Share" video king. I can probably bring back some clips that show some neat videography that Robert and this crew have created.

Finding a Boom Operator in Chicago
 

Any ideas on where to poke around to find someone to do boom for a project I am working on?

The kicker is that there is NO pay.

I would guess that film students and such probably would be a good place to start, but not sure where to start looking.

Thanks

We can always expand to non Vegas users as long as the meeting doesn't turn into a pissing contest between programs/platforms. Actually some AE or combustion users might be fun.

My main concern was if something was developed and we were all using the same software, it would make a dispersed project easier to manage. Plus sharing experience.

Hey guys- I only have two problems... ok, more than that, but regarding this group I'll stop at two :)
First, it is at least a two hour drive.
Second, I am not a Vegas user.

Short Feature in Pre-Production...Dallas
 

I'm in the process of adapting a short science fiction story by C.M. Kornbluth to a screenplay for a MiniDV short. I plan to shoot in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.

If anyone is interested in this project, email me and I'll give you some more info.

DavidManning767AA@comcast.net

Look forward to talking to you.

-----Dave Manning.

Steve,

I think you can better send an e-mail, although help is probably
not needed anymore. Ash will probably not see your response
since he hasn't been back since that post.

Good luck with your first production, Nancy. Do let us know how
it turns out!

No-one??

Keith, the issues are going to be about film/video production, ideas, networking, other related things. I'm avoiding the discussions about Vegas vs what ever. I like it, I use it, no need to put something else down at all. It really is just software after all.

Glad to see Adobe answering needs of it's customer base.

Keith you're still welcome to come. Promise no one will try to start a Vegas vs whatever argument at the meeting.

Carl
If you still need a boom operator, try posting a notice at Columbia College downtown. That would probably be your best bet.

Camera rental in the Northeast Ohio area?
 

Hey, I've been running through a project with some people for a while now, and I need to find a place around here (canton, ohio) to rent a better camera (then mine) from. My little low end 1 chipper just isn't convincing/good enough for what we need to do, it will only be a one day shoot (atleast the stuff I can't do with my camera) and I need to rent or get access to a camera like a DVX100, XL1s, GL2, VX2000...etc....

If anyone knows a place around this area that can rent us a nice DV camera for a day or so (for relatively cheap) it would help so much. Even better yet, is there anyone here in this general area that has decent equipment and would want to help out on it? The project isn't for sure yet, and of course no date set or anything, but if it does happen it will probably be in about a month or so, i'm just trying to find some general resources right now.

I'm having doubts about a place around here to rent a camera from, since this isn't exactly the most popular place for "film making". In places like California and New York, I bet theres a camera rental store on every corner. :D

Thanks.
