Anyone from Kansas City?

Chris Korrow · November 10th, 2002, 12:59 AM

Hey Jeff,

It's good to have another UW man on the boards. There was some good posts a couple of months ago about UW housings, I'm with you as far as putting a piece of electronic equipment that costs more that my car in the ocean. (I still can see my old Nikon F2 in the clear plastic housing 1/2 full with water 60' down on an assignment in Tonga - bummer in paradise) So when I can afford it (around 2020) I'll take the advise of using a cheaper used cam for the UW stuff. Heck my XL1s will be the cheap used cam way before then.

Welcome, There's a great bunch of folks here.

Chris

Rob Lohman · May 26th, 2003, 04:42 AM

Is Grain Valley close enough?

(Eastern suburb, if you're not familiar)

Scott Allen · June 23rd, 2003, 11:19 PM

I was just checking to see who from the area posted here. Yeah, Grain Valley is close enough........and the pics on your site are amazing, Jeff. I've been in the music biz for many years and just started doing the 'video' side. Too much fun, and so much to learn, but hey, when learning is running around with your cam, shooting tape after tape, I could never get tired of it.

I've been visiting this post for about six months now as I have started to put together a little side work in both audio and video. I had already owned a small Pro Tools rig and was working on some commercial audio production and a few small musical recording gigs, when I started to get requests for video projects from my previous work in school. So, after a few gigs with borrowed equipment, I thought it was time to take the jump and spring for my own video set up. I'm now the proud owner of a GL2 and hope to put it to great use. By the way because of this board I purchased that fine piece of equipment from Zotz, and it was one of the easiest product purchase in my short semi-professional career.

I currently call my remodeled basement space my studio and I live just north of the grand city of Kansas City in a tiny town called Lathrop. I just wanted to let you fine and knowledgible folks know wherest I was coming from if my name pops up on here occassionally. I always enjoy my visits and I will be making a lot of them for sure. And of course (just like everyone else who is a techno geek), if you have a project that you want a hand with, I might be game.

Hello, long time lurker, first time poster!

About Me
Im a Student at UMKC. Im looking around for grad school right now..I work mainly on local documentaries. Im in the pre-production stage for a short film I plan to direct in the upcoming month. (gah! wish me luck!)

My rig:

Cannon GL2 (recently stolen, searching for a replacement.)

JVC GR-D70U (we call it "THE DANGER CAM!"...).

Smith-Victor light kit (3 piece thrifty)

Powermac Dual 1.8ghz g5 1gig ram.

Im looking to learn a little more about 35mm imitation and find some help for the short I plan to shoot (DP?).

<3 the DV Info!

I live in Olathe, Ks. I have done some horror shorts with friends (nothing too serious, and we have NO background experience). This is just something we do for fun, but love to do it. I might be interested in helping. I have weekends free. I also have most of my own gear.

If you are looking to go to school for film, the only school in kansas that teaches celluloid is KU. If you want great production experience that translate for both television and film, you should check out Fort Hays State University.

Cheers

Alecks Purifoy · October 16th, 2005, 01:07 PM
