Hey Justin, thanks for reviving this thread,.. I had totally missed it before!
I live in the Hamilton area, and have a real hankering to make short films. I first got the bug when I went to Sydney, Australia on a 2 year job contract awhile back. While we were there, I bought a little JVC Camcorder (PAL format) so I could record the sights, and have a video record of our time. I fell in love with the possibilities. Now that we have been back in Canada for a few years, I have managed to aquire a Canon XH-A1, and a few other toys (mostly DIY). I am absolutely dying to make a short or something,.. but have discovered that writing stories, and story ideas, are not my fortes. I have made a few little things with my kids (their ideas) that were a blast to do, and allowed me to try my hand at some After Effects, and I love it. But I would LOVE to make some more movies, and try some stuff a little more challenging and ambitious. But without a story,.. hmm.
Hey, does anyone know if there are any clubs/collectives/groups in the area? People who get together with common video/film interests, varied equipment and experience levels, and maybe collaborate on some group efforts, ..make some shorts for fun? I'd love to get involved in something like that. Does anyone know if something like that exists around here?
