Welcome Keith and Steven,
Keith what part of Michigan are you in?

Hello from Ypsilanti, MI
 

Home of Eastern Michigan University, neighbors to Ann Arbor and Detroit, & there's a fine indie film movement growing here.

Part of that is us over at Evil Genius Entertainment LLC - we've been making indie films for over ten years, as well as doing a commercial here and there.

We always try help other independants and are always looking for PA's and other crew members. If you're in town or need help or want to help, let us know. Chao!

Nice that you found this and introduced yourself, Phillip. I visited your Web page--you have a great and infectious smile that put a smile on my face, too! Thanks! :)

Hello to everyone......
 

I'd just like to say a quick hello, & thank everyone who posts on dvinfo.net for sharing all of their tips & tricks. Reading through the posts is like a film school in itself.
I'm a freelance videographer based in S.E. Michigan, but I do a lot of freelance work in the Chicago area as well.
Currently, I am editing a historical documentary of Michigan for sale to schools later this year.
Does anyone out there know where to get good looking (16x9) stock footage of Native Americans(in authentic dress), North American wildlife footage, and possibly Voyageur footage of French trappers in canoes?
We are on a very limited budget right now, so if anyone knows where I can get my hands on shots like these cheaply would be much appreciated.

It might be a good idea to post your request in our over land forum:

http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/forumdisplay.php?f=111

And the Helping Hands forum:

http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/forumdisplay.php?f=52

Would also use a thread title that indicates what you're looking for instead of "Hello to everyone...."

Good luck,

Hello from Michigan
 

My name is Don Pham and I'm new in the neighborhood. Looking forward to learning and sharing with all of you.

Hey, I have done some underwater shooting on the Great Lakes for a surfing documentary. Yes, that is right, there is surfing on the Great Lakes. I live in the Detroit area, but I travel all over Michigan. Eric Zad, let me know what underwater stuff you are doing, maybe I can help.
