That clip looks very good at this end, Steve. (Although its rather a sad clip.)

Steve Nunez · March 20th, 2002, 03:25 PM

if you think that's sad- wait til you see the rat's head being ripped off- then swallowed whole!

(your cd is being sent soon)

Where in the heck does a red tail hawk from the Bronx find a chick for dinner? I lived in Manhattan for awhile...and don't seem to recall any poultry farms while I was there. ;)

Steve Nunez · March 20th, 2002, 07:03 PM

licensed falconers frequently use quail or chicks in supplement to catches a hawk may take during the hunting season- taking a cue from them i set out a chick for a juvenile redtail to take- from the looks of it- the hawk was very inexperienced and hopefully i've helped make his/her life a tad bit easier---nature will have to take it's run from here on in for that hawk- but i'm crossing my fingers he/she survives...that was my 1st video from that bird.

Rob Lohman · March 21st, 2002, 04:39 AM

Steve,

The clips plays well here. Although it was a bit too much
compressed and too low resolution for my taste. I'd like
to see the clips with at least twice that resolution and
less compression artifacting....

Otherwise great to see footage!

Guy Pringle · April 8th, 2002, 12:02 AM

Hi Steve,

As a staunch wildlife protector and hopefully new documentarian, it's always interesting to read/hear about other people involved and what they're doing. From one of your earlier posts you seemed to be genuinely concerned for the well-being of the hawk, but, and please correct me if I'm wrong, I hope the practice of "setting up" a shot/sequence with live bait was not the intention. We should document only. OK, I'm off my soap box.

Dylan Marchetti · April 8th, 2002, 09:58 PM

What's up everybody. I'm Dylan, and I'm an independent filmmaker who recently moved to NYC (stop me if you've heard THIS one before). I've set up shop in Brooklyn, and I'm getting ready to do my first short film with the XL-1S. I've graduated from Hi-8 and single chip DV, so you know I'm excited. I write, but my passion is for directing and shooting. I've worked on a few short films, as well as a documentary, and am anxious to build the resume.

I started a company called Broken Machine Films. The goal is to be not so much a film company but more of an art collective- a place where young filmmakers who are starting out can get hold of equipment and resources to make their films, use our website to advertise, all while keeping all rights to the work they created.

You can check out our website at www.brokenmachinefilms.com -anyway, these boards are very informative, and I'm hoping as my experience with the XL1 increases I can possibly contribute something. Thanks again guys, and enjoy.

Ken Tanaka · April 8th, 2002, 11:13 PM

Brokenmachine Films looks like an interesting initiative; a sort of incubator for indie filmmakers. Keep us posted on your progress.

Meanwhile welcome to the community. I'm sure you'll find plenty of support for your work here. Congratulations on "graduating" from Hi-8!

Guy Pringle · April 8th, 2002, 11:55 PM

Howzit Dylan,

Good luck with your endevours, we look forward to hearing more.

Adrian Douglas · April 9th, 2002, 01:06 AM

Sounds like you and Bobby from Digital Drive In are on the same wavelength. Good to see someone chipping in to help get others started.

Welcome aboard, hope you find this place useful

Rob Lohman · April 9th, 2002, 02:18 AM

Dylan,

Welcome aboard! It sounds like you have your heart in the right
place! Good luck with your endeavers!

Thomas Berg Petersen · May 14th, 2002, 10:01 AM

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that I finally got my camera. It is awesome and I am shooting as much as I possibly can. The learning curve isn't as steep as I thought. But I still have a long way to go. I need to buy a few things like a carry-on bag, tripod and a monitor but I have decided that I will get the NLE system later.

Very soon I will post a date for the first Canon DV experience sharing meeting here in New York City.

Thomas

Patrick Coker · May 14th, 2002, 08:26 PM

Well make sure you let me know! I am shooting an episodic starting on the 19th, my very first- SCARY TIMES!!! lol.
