Hello from Bangkok, Thailand
Hello everyone,
I used to be in Los Angeles, involved in production, post-production, on-air promos and anything else they would let me do. I made my first 'DV' project on an XL1, a fundraising project for a non-profit. It was a great experience, having only used film for years and years. Having only used film for years, I was highly impressed by his capabilities and that was in my limited video experienced hands. Fast forward: Now I'm living in Bangkok, where video is a hugely prominent production tool at all levels, so I am glad I gained some experience before getting here. I'm doiing a lot of corporate work at the moment, though I'm hoping to shift over to commericals and film projects soon. We are developing a budget for a film to shot using the XL1S (PAL) and utilizing the Mini35 lens adapter platform. Anybody who ever decides to visit, drop me a line. Its a great place, but hot and at the present, wet as well. Regards, David Fisher ; had to use my middle name for the sign-up, but never go by it in real life |

Hi David,
Lucky guy! You're living in one of my favorite places. Bangkok looks the way a Texas boy imagines Asia should look like. So many other places in Asia have lost a lot of their culture due to westernization. You've got great shooting locations everywhere you turn there. I hope you'll keep us posted on your projects and maybe post something for us to see from time to time. (P.S. Just as a side recommendation... Koh Tao and Koh Pi Pi are great places--check 'em out if you get a chance) |

Hey John,
Thanks for the shout. As a former Texas boy myself, Grand Saline, Texas A&M and then Los Angeles, it is exactly as you think. Hot and cool and beautiful. Come visit some time David |

David,
You know they say, "man who walks sideways at airport is going to Bangkok". Hahah just kidding, i spent around 5 months there living in Koasan (sp?) Road, living as a bum tourist with a crazy bunch of israeli guys, drinking this stuff that can only be described as slightly off petrol. I had the time of my life, best of luck with your project. And please always check if it's a woman. Zac |

Thanks Guys,
Yes, we have had these discussions at length, both drunk and sober. We've decided we are going to get rich selling foreigners Instant Y Chromosone' tests. Thanks for the welcome. David |

Bangkok Shooting Opportunity
Hi,
I'm currently prototyping a unique, tourist-related media product in the UK. Once it's past the proof of concept stage I want to hit many of the world's tourist-oriented locations pretty hard. I'm looking for a videographer (PAL XL1)/editor partner in BKK. Would you be interested in discussing? I'll be in LOS in Feb/March. If so, please drop me a line at scot@london.com Regards Scot |
