Over the last couple of months I've learned what a valuable asset DVinfo.net can be in this new age of the constantly evolving digital video world. I'm an old dog trying to learn new tricks... and to be honest, a lot of the new technology can be overwhelming. I have over 25 years experience in all aspects of video production and post. When I started we were recording on 3/4 in. U-matic tape and doing cuts only editing on a RM-440. Needless to say the environment has changed dramatically.

Due to the recent economic climate I've been downsized to part-time as a Producer/Director at a local production company so I've had to adapt. I recently purchased a JVC GY-HM700 camera and a Final Cut Studio editing system and I'm trying to supplement my income by shooting and editing videos for mostly web-based viewing.

I would really like to network with others out there in similar circumstances and hear how you are operating and share ideas and best practices.

Thanks,
Dan

My video career has been much shorter than yours, but I've observed the same trend: this business is all about constant adaptation. That's what I love about it; I'll never run out of new stuff to learn!

Welcome aboard, Dan!
