Howdy from Longmont, Colorado
 

I am Chris Milan from Longmont Colorado.

I am currently involved in setting up online and cd/DVD training for Children's Hospital. I am a newbie to Video (about a year and a half).

I use a Canon GL-2 (love it), most of SeriousMagic Products, Vegas and DVD Architect and multiple Dell Computers (Laptop favorite is my XPS).

Do not hessitate to contact me regarding whatever...

Regards,

Chris Milan

Welcome, Chris!

Don't know where Longmont is (if I wasn't lazy I'd look it up), but if it's anywhere near Colorado Springs I may be in your neck of the woods later this year. Got relatives there, one of whom wants me to shoot a little movie with him. Love the Rockies!

Have fun shooting!! :)

Welcome Chris
 

Welcome Chris,

I'm in Denver via Littleton. I work for one of the local stations and do a little freelance stuff on the side. Glad to have you aboard.

Hi Chris,

I'm just north of you in Loveland. Feel free to contact me if you want to get together for lunch or coffee sometime.

Regards,

Greg

Hey guys, I'm in Golden
If anyone is planning on shooting any shorts or features, count me in.

hi chris, welcome!

hi erik!

nice to see the front range well-represented....

anyone up for collaborating on DVC6? just around the corner....

I was just looking at when the 48 hour film festival was headed to Denver... No date yet, that I can find.

Maybe we should chat, I would definitely be in on DVC6 or some other event.

Regards,

Greg

Yep, count me in.
You guys want to meet for beers sometime?

I'm always up for a beer. Any suggestions on a central location? I'm happy to meet in boulder or North Denver or wherever really, I'm just not familiar with any good places...

Greg

Maybe Meryem can suggest some place in Boulder, I don't really know my way around there.
The only place I could think of to go is CB&Potts in westminster.
http://www.cbpotts.com/westminster.php
Is that somewhat in the middle?
It'd be pretty cool if we could get a big DVINFO crowd together.

a colorado dvinfo gathering is a good idea. let me give this a bit of thought. i shoulda thought of this last year, when i was invested in a restaurant and we could have done it for free. darn it...

still, boulder has several good options....

CB&Potts works for me and boulder is cool too. Looking forward to it.

Greg

cb&potts is okay, i was thinking something along the lines of the west end tavern or something else with enough rooftop or outdoor seating to enjoy the colorado sunshine. nothing goes better with libations....

head count? shall we start a new thread on this? instead of hijacking chris' thread? if we get a lot of folks, we should probably give the tavern of choice a bit of advance notice.

in fact, let me e-mail chris hurd about putting up a forum to initiate local or regional gatherings. i think it is a great idea...dvxuser has this. we should, too. if he does it, we're likely to get an even better turn-out, because not everyone reads the newbies links....

Great ideas, new thread and or new forum would be great. We can credit Chris with the genesis.

The sun is shining very nicely today, I might ad.

Regards,

Greg

Something outside sounds good, but remember beer tends to get skunky in the sun...so we'll just have to drink them fast. :)

or switch to the more sun-friendly and alcohol-intensive margarita!

i e-mailed chris--don't expect to hear back from him too quickly, what with the shoot-out and NAB approaching. which doesn't stop us from doing our own thing, so i started a separate, designated thread. check it out here, and those of you who posted here, post there so we can show the level of interest to those who are not reading this thread:

thanks for letting us squat on your thread, chris....

Thanx for the warm welcome
 

Please include me if possible in this group. I appriciate the nice welcome and look forward to meeting each of you.

Chris

Hello From Ventura, California
 

Hello, I'm Don DesJardin currently living in Ventura, California. Ventura is coastal town located about half way between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. Hopefully in the next few months I'll be selling out in Ventura and looking forward relocating to Canon City, Colorado. I'm currently stuck in the 4:3 SD world with an XL1 coupled with a Nikon 80-400mm. When the house sells, I plan to take a few $$ and invest in a XL H1. I have been concentrating mostly on bird documentation, but also have been dabbling in butterflies and the world of macro. I have done a few 1 hour bird "eye candy" video programs for the local Audubon groups around Southern California, but beyond that, most all of my shooting has been a hobby and a great way to get out in the field and relax. I'm very much looking forward to Colorado and the diverse habitat and bird life it has to offer.

returning to Denver after 10 long years in LA
 

I did learn a few things in LA, but I will be happy to bid it farewell. Hoping to meet people that work in video production, like myself. I edit (FCP) and have worked in post for years (south park). graduated from CU- boulder in film production. I promise I won't bring any more californians with me (besides my wife).

thanks
andy kemler

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

Hey Andrew,
Welcome Back!
I've often thought about going out to L.A. but just can't bring myself to do it.
I figure you can make movies anywhere but there are way more production jobs out there than here...or maybe I haven't looked hard enough:)

go avs
 

thanks eric..I tell people..only go to LA if you know exactly what you intend to do when you get there..(dp/editor/raise $ for feature/etc.) I moved to LA not knowing what the hell I wanted to do and spent 7 years working really hard for little money and zero enjoyment while credit card bills pilled up. but now I'm an ediitor and make little money but enjoy it.
