Thanks for the info. Kim. It's funny you mention ECI, they just did a really big job for me at work (Denton County). Great bunch of people, the system they installed for me is pretty awesome. I wasn't aware of the other places you mentioned, I'll definitely check them out. Thanks.

Jacques Star is here!
 

Hey guys,

Hi Jacques,

Maybe you'll remember me from the Majecstic Theater concert shoot we worked together. I was the XL-2 guy on camera #1 at center mezzanine level.

Welcome to DVINFO. It's a great forum with a lot of talented folks.

Great to hear from ya!
 

Greg,

How've you been? It's good to see some familiar faces on this site.

I just got back from shooting a documentary on lasers in San Francisco...


Any interesting projects you've been working on? How's the XL2 working out?

(I finally bought a DSR390, and it works great!)

cheers,

Welcome aboard DVInfo.net Jacques! Good to have you with us!

Hello from Big D, Texas
 

Hi everyone. I'm a 16 year old, High School Student who has just entered the world of filming and I'm quite enjoying the hobby and I hope to make it more than just a hobby in the future. I am a 'seasoned' photographer, knowing all the technical aspects and many theories how to deliver a sucessful shot, I hope all this information will help me understand filming. Great to be in this forum. Apreciate all the help.

whats up Long? I used to live in Dallas...(i think thats the 'big D' your referring to) but now im in Beaumont which is in southeast Texas. Welcome to the forum. Were supposed to be having a texas meet and greet sometime soon, so look out for that. This board is full of great information so if information is what your looking for, then you've come to the right place my man.

Another Big D, TX Amateur Videographer On the Map
 

My name is Kurirai, currently residing in Desoto. I'm working on a few things. Got my first wedding video assignment...THIS WEEKEND! I've just successfully acquired a Canon XL1s from a fellow forum member, Mr. Joseph Benoit. What a guy!! The best communication ever received for an internet transaction. Even better than Ebay. Thanks for the XL1s Joseph! She goes to work Saturday!

When I'm done editing, I'd like to post it here for review. I love this site and am glad I found it. I wil be referencing it frequently.

Welcome aboard Kurirai, good to have you with us! Enjoy your beautiful camera
and good luck with the shooting!

Howdy, Kurirai

There are several DFW-area DVIers around here, but honestly most seem insanely busy and don't post too terribly often. I've only been on DVI less than 6 months myself, and I'm up to my friggin' eyeballs in work! I'm hoping that one day, someone will put together a DFW-area "get together" so that folks can sit around, chew the fat, and talk shop. I'd love to organize something like that myself, but I just don't have the time; between my "real" job and evenings/weekends spent shooting & editing video, I'm probably working in excess of 70 hours a week.

But I certainly would take a break from it all for an informal gathering of DFW area DVIers. Maybe someday we'll be able to meet in some kind of similar circumstance.

DFW resources
 

Howdy Duane & Kurirai,

Glad to see other DFW videographers here. My company, PixelPops Design, is located in Richardson, TX.

There are several local video groups here in the DFW area that you may be interested in. One that I highly recommend is the Dallas Ft. Worth Professional Videographers Association (http://www.dfwpva.com) which meets the 1st Tuesday of each month in Grapevine. There are about 75 members, some newer to video production and some who have been fulltime professionals for years. The emphasis is on wedding & event video though many members do corporate work as well. The members are very willing to share ideas and help each other out. Come visit if you have a chance.

Russ - I've actually seen both your website and the DFW-PVA website before. To be honest, the DFW-PVA didn't interest me much since it seemed to be so wedding-intensive, and I don't know anything about weddings (short of my own marraige-LOL!). But I might stop by a meeting someday.

Thanks for the heads-up. :-)

Howdy!

I'm in Dallas (east, by the lake) and would be very interested in meeting other DV geeks in the area. These are exciting times in DV production, and Dallas is a BIG market with lots of work. I've done a few DV projects, although my background is in web design/development.

The tools you can get on the desktop these days are out of this world! I worked at a post house in Minneapolis in 1996 and remember with fondness the imedia workstation, my first NLE experience.

I hope that xl1s is earning it's keep!

Happy shooting, and stay warm! (time sensitive inside joke)

Hey now...the weather has actually warmed up the past couple of days. It's getting to be more like Texas again. ;-)

Also, I'm just east of White Rock Lake myself. Actually, I'm SE in the Casa Linda neighborhood. Heck, we should get together at the coffee shop sometime and talk shop.

:-)

Remember that first assignment I told you about?...
 

Hi folks. Sorry there hasn't been any posting lately.
That first video assignment I told you about has come and gone. I finished it within 16 days after initial shooting. Would you like to see it?

You must promise me one thing...DON'T LAUGH, NOD YOUR HEAD, or SIGH IN GRIEF!

Thanks for at least looking...
