Hello from Vancouver

Dave Ferdinand · May 6th, 2005, 11:30 AM

I'm in Van as well... Too bad I missed this thread before people hooked up.

What kind of stuff do you guys use your gear for? I'm just finishing my first short and plan to do another in the summer.

About FrameForge... It looks interesting but a bit old. Isn't there anything better around? Sometimes I use GMax, which is free although not made for story boards. It's fairly straightforward to use

Ronald Lee · May 6th, 2005, 12:34 PM

well, the other one I found is "Story Board Quick" which seems just as easy to use. http://www.powerproduction.com/quick.html

As for what we do, we people here have various uses for their DV stuff. I am always looking for people to come out to shoot some stuff for practice/fun. There are certainly a number of good experienced people here.

I shooting stuff here in Port Moody... small, slow but ultimately profitable (or I wouldn't be doin' it...hehehe).

What is everyone else doing?

Good to see some other Vancouverites out here in the sticks... I'm by Coq. Center.

GVRD'ers...

Have a potential project with a client who needs some 8mm FILM converted to digital. Not sure of the exact running time and length of the raw footage. But my client says under 15 mins. All I need is the stuff converted... Don't have a projector... Only know video , not film.

Anybody know someone who does this cheap?

Thanks,

Jason

Not in Vancouver but you may wanna try "Black And White Film Factory" in Toronto.

http://www.blackandwhitefilmfactory.com/

I've already sent some rools (16mm) to these guys and it doesn't take more than a few days to get the footage back in digital format. If you send the minidv tape it's even cheaper.

Make sure they process the film stock you have first.

Hey Guys,

I think it's time we meet again. We've have two meetings so far, both times on the Drive. The first was good, a lot came out. The second was...boring because no one had anything to talk about.

I have this briliant idea. We're all filmmakers, why don't we go watch a film and then get a coffee afterwards to talk about our impressions about the film. I'm talking about giving up one 4 hour block of time to meet everyone else. I for one, am always interested in meeting people to shoot for various projects and to see what technology people are into.

Say, in the first weekend of August. Sound like a plan?

Email me if interested and I"ll make another post when we have definate plans.

Ron

Shawn Hamilton · July 26th, 2005, 08:39 AM

I`ll say hello, just discovered this site and its great. I`m out in the Fraser Valley.

Ronald Lee · August 17th, 2005, 12:57 PM

I guess everyone is too busy to meet?

Let's kick start this thread again and everyone list the major equipment (Camera, etc...) that you have. It'll be fun and I'm interested in who else uses Sony's.
