I'm a film student in South Africa!
 

Hi everyone, I'm at UCT in South Africa studying film & Media.
I'm here to learn from all the masterrs of the industry...and because someone told me G. Lucas was here. :)

A group of us at school decided to do a short. There are many things we still need to learn but we are excited and eager to learn from those who went through the fire before us.

Cheers

Hello from Baton Rouge
 

I am a shooter/editor here in good old Baton Rouge, LA. We just got an HVX, I had my first shoot today, what a dream! I haven't been this excited about video since I was in college! Anybody else on here from South Louisiana?

Not me! But I wanted to welcome you, Kris. Your enthusiasm is contagious!

Congratulations on your shoot--the first of many, I hope. :)

Hi Kris, welcome aboard (H)DV Info Net, good to have you with us!

Howdy,

I like the policy stating that the only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked.

I always say to myself: the dirtiest, ugliest, and most unorganize piece of story board is the white blank page itself.

I live in Long Island and work in midtown.

I am back now in Tunica, Ms
 

Hello everyone I am back had to transfer from Harrah's New Orleans to the Hourseshoe in Tunica. What a shock not only in the city but also in the job. I now have a 3 camera system with a switcher and 2 16 foot screens on each side of the stage and a 25 ft and 16 ft on stage with front and rear projectors. I am loving life now. Just got the system in and we are having some problems getting the equipment to work like it should and getting the colors adjusted. Glad to be back around and if anyone is in the Tunica/ Memphis area give me a email. Johnny

I've been lurking on the dvinfo.net boards since last year, and after meeting Chris Hurd at NAB recently was inspired to start contributing. I do a variety of work that includes producing, directing, editing, and shooting. You can learn more about me by visting the About page on my blog. It's good to be here, I've learned a lot reading the discussions here and I like the "real people, real information" philosophy of the site.

Hi David, welcome aboard (H)DV Info Net, good to have you with us!

Glad you made it out to NAB and got to meet Chris. He's a great guy.

Hey everyone!

I'm Matt as you can tell. Haha.

I'm currently using a Canon XL2, but I'm no pro since it's my first project and time using the camera. I love it.

The project I'm working on is a mockumentary about wrestling. I'm the director of photography and editor.

My next project will be a music video, but I would love learn tips and tricks of the XL2 before the music video.

Thanks.

Film Student from Delaware!
 

Well I am glad I stumbled upon this site as I am getting more serious about my film/video career. I am 20 years old and have been into making videos for about 10 years. I currently use a Sony TRV-70 and I think it it about time for a 3 chip camera. I edit using a dual core Pentium D with Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After effects 6.5. I just finished up my sophomore year at Wilmington College majoring in Multimedia and Film production.

I have a filmspace on myspace.

My Adventures in New Mexico
 

Greetings to all,

About 6 months ago I was offered the “chance of a lifetime.” The offer was to fly out to Cimarron, NM and have the “Rocky Mountains be my office.” On June 8th I will trade in my normal summer sandals for hiking boots. I will be spending 11 weeks at the Philmont Scout Ranch working in their News and Photo Department. My primary job will be to video and edit a “video yearbook.” I have put together a website so that I can share my adventures with everyone ( www.philmont.matthewdelong.com ). I will post a weekly audio podcast and a bi-weekly video podcast. I have also included a blog. During my time out west I will be using a different email address. You can email me at philmont@matthewdelong.com .

Thanks to everyone at DVI for all your help. My trip will run a little smoother thanks to you guys.

That sounds like a great opportunity indeed Matthew. Have a great time!

Yes, I can't wait. Thanks.

indeed there are. just graduated from state and getting started on whatever comes next. sticking in san diego for now.

I live in Northern California, but do a lot of production work in San Diego. I spend so much time there, maybe I should buy one of those million dollar, two bedroom highrise condos Downtown. On second thought, maybe not! Fun City, though.

Greetings from Enid Oklahoma
 

I’m a transplanted Yankee in Oklahoma, the thriving metropolis of Enid to be exact. For a town our size we have a burgeoning indie film making community worthy of being proud of. My current project is a fan film of the original series Battlestar Galactica, we hope to deliver production values that rival Star Wars: Revelations.

My film’s press release: http://www.battlestarfanfilm.org/main/

Any one in my area, say hello.

Hey, John! I'm not in your area, but my mom is from Enid. (Born in an extinct "town" nearby called Manchester.) Okies are good folks.

That's so cool about the filmmaking community there. Best wishes on the fan film; welcome to DV Info! :)

Hello from another Canuck!
 

Hi my name is Rob and live on Vancouver Island. I'm primarily on the audio side of the media fence but have been getting into more of the video stuff lately. I film our local Junior 'A' hockey team and have done some filming in our quest to become "Hockeyville".

Ello from the UK
 

Just a quick intro.

I've been dabbling with various bits of video for 10 years now and I'm just getting serious about it!

As a professional graphic designer my clients range from design agencies to direct clients.

I've recently bought a canon XL H1...I also own a XL 1S. I use a mac G5 with FCP.

I live in Dudley in the west midlands in good old great britain.

Anyway... tally ho!

Cheers

Hi, advertising art director getting into film :)
 

Hi, I'm 23 from Texas that recently moved to L.A. to work in advertising. I was a paid extra in Fast and furious 3 mostly just to try and meet Justin Lin and some of the production crew, but I was on the shoots the entire time and never got to meet him.

I had a canon XL1s when I was in college and managed to shoot a bit, but sold it recently and am now eyeing a Panasonic DVX100b so I can start shooting in 24p and doing more short films, possible feature.

Just saying hello :) Are there any other people in the advertising industry here?
