Hi all,

I've just started a film group in Newcastle - the JustShorts film group - there are lots of students locally with lots of talent and all they needed was a kick up the butt and some organisation to get something off the ground - so I did.

We have a Canon XL1 digital camera with 16x zoom lens.
• Manfrotto Gruppo tripod
• Shoulder pad with 2x XLR connections
• Phantom Power 12v/48v with 2x mic input and output
• Sennheiser mic MZH3015
plus some other bits and pieces.

Isn't it weird how you decide to do something and suddenly things come your way - a week after we got together we were lucky enough to come across a little contest that paid $500 for making 9 - 45 sec shorts films. We did 3 sets and earned ourselves $1,500!. - We have money to spend on Equipment!!

So I'll be doing lots of reading and picking everyone's brains about lights & field recorders etc etc.

Thrilled to be part of the forum and ready to get out there and make something worthwhile.

please take a look at our website and let me know what you think.
