Hello All,
This forum seems to have a tone that I hope will be useful for me as a newbie.
Briefly, who I am: A former DP on a few feature films in LA, shot celebrity interviews of big names, including a US president, commercials and music videos. Mostly on film, 16mm and 35mm, and some beta cam stuff. Also was a NYC fashion still photographer.
I am a bit behind the curve digitally and computer wise and trying to come up to speed, so some of my questions may seem obvious to you, but not to me. I have been shooting with a JVC DV500 for awhile and just got a HV30, which I am taking to El Salvador next week to shoot some footage for an organic coffee plantation, for short Youtube postings of the operation and marketing.
Will probably edit it on iMovie on my return, and will have to learn that as well, though I have supervised tons of editing sessions, but this will be my first time pushing the buttons myself. Intent is probably to spend a good amount of time in El Salvador after my two week trip, so I will be a one man band.
If anyone is nearby, would love to go over some questions I have about the camera before I leave, so pls give a shout.
Thanks, and cheers,
Stuart
