I live and work downtown, and the meeting with did with Senor Troxel was at my office, which is smack dab in downtown, just a hop off I-4. We could always do something like that again... or there's the DMAC downtown a block from my office - which is the second home for DV filmmakers in town - coffee, free internet, and a digital theater. And it's on the same corner as Maui Jacks, a sports bar type restaurant with some pretty decent food.

If there is interest, what's central to everyone?

Hi all,

It does not matter to me where.. , I work a crazy schedule.. So for me I would try to attend if it falls on a day I happen to have off...

Any others out there interested ??

Mike

I'm interested, but would need to have some advance warning. Weekends would be best. And I tend to have issues with Orlando and it's traffic. Ok... I just have issues ;)

I would consider driving up to Orlando if it was for more than just socializing. Or if I could synchronize it with another trip up there. It is about 2 hours for me from Venice, but the closest thing to a DV community I have found yet.

Venice is closer to Clearwater, isn't it? There seems to be a breeding ground there for videographers.

Hello,

Maybe everyone should chime in, and list things like
what platform you use ?
what software ?
cameras ?
hobby or work ?
genre you shoot(or want to shoot) ?
etc..

maybe we can find some common ground here..along with the common interest in DV..

I will start:

PC user

Vegas 6,After Effects,Ligtwave 3D,Photshop,DV Rack,DVD Architect, VT3(maybe selling soon)
Ultra, and more..

Just sold my Sony PDX-10, soon to have a HDV Sony FX1 or Z1

I do make some money with it.. But I still love it like a hobby

I have shot everything from corporate videos,documentaries, music videos and on and on..I just want to make quality stuff..

I am also a want to be photographer...

I also use a PC, with Premiere, Photoshop, Sound Forge, whatever else I can. I had started Editing on a low/no payment for a Surfing website, then learned video so I could teach THEM how. I sometimes make money doing events, but usually do it to get out of the house for a day or two ;) At this point, I'll shoot or edit ANYTHING... as long as it doesn't involve animals or kids.

Also PC. I use Vegas, a DVX100a, and have a variety of low budget filmmaking tools. I'm a web developer by day, but aside from that I consider myself a writer and director. My most recent work was a short film that won the year end finals of a local film slam; and I'm shopping it around to fests, but it's a tad long which fests don't like. So the next couple I'm in prepro for right now are short as hell. I've been DP on a few as well - one that played at the Palm Beach Int'l. Ultimately, for now, film festivals are my end game.

I'm always looking out for people who want to collaborate and share the burden of making low budget narrative shorts.

Moving to Orlando. Need help!!
 

Hi, I will be in Orlando taking NYFA digital class at MGM. I will be out there for June, July, and August. I will also be looking for a job there, if I find something I will stay. I am looking to move to the Kissimmee area. If you know anybody or have some connections let me know.

Orlando Area-Sony FX1/Z1 users??
 

Hello,


I am interested in hearing if there are any other Sony FX1 or Z1 owners out there in the Orlando/Central Florida area??

Mike Moncrief

I teach high school for Orlando Public School District. I teach tv production and use primarily Macs both at school and at home.

I know this is an old thread, but I figured I would look to see who is in the Orlando area, and tell everyone that I have moved to Clermont, about due west of Orlando, just off Hwy 50 before you hit Hwy 27.

Better late than never? I am an FX1 owner in Clermont. I use the Adobe Production Studio and distribute on DVD as WM9 for use in the AveL Linkplayer2.

Hello, Steve,

I am just a little bit East of you, in Ocoee.. Welcome!! and glad you are close by..

Mike Moncrief

Hey Mike!

I pass by Ocoee's exit off the turnpike all of the time. If you ever need anything, just let me know. I use a Sony FX1 with the Adobe Production Studio.

Hey Steve,

OK..Likewise here.. if you need anything just give me a holler.. I also own FX1.. Edit with Sony Vegas and also now Final Cut Pro..

Mike m.

I'm down a little further south in Fort Myers. Anyone else?

In Orlando
 

Hi all: I work in Orlando, near Millenia but have moved from Altamonte Spgs. to Leesburg. Just signed onto this forum; found a lot of good service info. for the Canon Gl1 & 2 here. Work in electrical engineering for a manufacturer of pipe line inspection equipment: translation we design & manufacture all our own electronics to put video cameras down sewer & storm drain lines.

Also have 40+ yrs. experience in professional audio (broadcast & recording studios).

I shoot with JVC GY-DV5000 & Canon GL2. Edit w Final Cut Pro on Mac G4.

Belong to Professional Videographers of Central Fla. We are meeting tonight 3/27/06 at the Apple Store in Mall @ Millenia 7P.M. All are invited.

hehe, almost a year later since the post was started - what is up... also in Orlando. Mostly just a freelance video gun, audio editor/designer and wannabe film maker.

Curious about the G35 (potential) owners
 

So since the Cinemek forums are still down, I'm wondering if any local Orlando, or central florida, folks who were able to pre-order a G35 are on here?

I'm in southeast Orlando by the airport. My setup consists of an Imac G5 with 2GB RAM and 160 GB Hard Drive. Software package is Final Cut Studio (final cut, motion, soundtrack...). It's cool to see a number of Orlando people on the forums.

I live a little south down in Ft.Myers- Main editing system: AMD 4200 X2 2 gigs of pc 3200 ram and 1 250gig system drive and a 200gig scratch disk..hopfully a matrox card here in the next couple days- and programs are all the adobe programs sonic fire pro 4 and maya 7. i have a quicksilver g4 at school with final cut pro 4

Hey! from orlando Fl.
 

Hey all! i have been browsing this forum recently and i really am very pleased to find absolutely no negativity and very helpful responses!!!!

i'd now like to take the time to introduce myself
i'm shawn yelle, from Lake mary (a small town on the outskirts of orlando) i am 16, I film rollerblading "extreme rollerblading" if you will.

If you'd like to see some of my work (i'm currently using a Canon ZR100 ((Haha i know, bad right?)) but i'm saving for a GL2!

Just saying Hello!

Welcome, Shawn!

In your browsing I hope you ran across one of the big themes at this oufit: "Content is king." It doesn't matter what camera you're using as long as you're out there shooting. But best wishes in saving up for the GL2! :)

Hi Shawn, welcome aboard DV Info Net, good to have you with us!
