Howzit from Durban, South Africa!
 

My membership has FINALLY been activated, so I thought this would be a good place to put my first post!

I am actually from Vancouver, Canada; but I am currently studying at UKZN in sunny South Africa.

After years of being dissapointed by most of the stuff that Hollywood shovels out, I decided that I should stop saying that "I could do better," and prove that I actually could! So at the end of last year I bought myself a little 3-chip pana (all I could afford), and I've been producing garbage ever since!!! But I am improving with every piece of trash I make.

Anyway, I'm interested in making martial arts and horror movies. So if there is anyone in the area who likes action and effects, let me know! I don't have much experience but I'm ready to rock!!! I don't care about the size of the project, I just want to make movies.

Thats it for my intro.
I'm just happy to be here!

Hi Anthony......
 

Glad to have you aboard, it's a great place - just don't get lost!

Hey, where did that fabulous surname come from?

Cheers,


Chris

My Dad is from Tanzania, so thats where the last name comes from.

Thanks again!

Hi again Anthony.....
 

I grew up (but wasn't born) in Tasmania (Australia) - you would not believe the amount of gear/ post etc that ended up there instead of Tanzania - used to be regular reports in the newspaper about the latest "snafu". Always wondered about the place as a result. Ain't got there yet, but, still breathing, so may happen!

How are you finding SA?

Yet another place I ain't been which is on the "to do" list.

Sigh, so many countries, so little time.

Have a good one.

Cheers,


Chris

Hi from South Africa!
 

Hey everyone,

i'm kinda new on here... I live i South Africa and i'm currently using my new A1 and getting to know it a little better. i mostly film interviews for government and some weddings and stuff for money, but i film surfing for enjoyment. my next project is to design and build a waterproof housing for my A1 so i can get some in water footage...that's going to be a challenge!
I edit on Premiere Pro 1.5 and really want to learn some hardcore stuff in AE...
I'm also working on an idea for a TV show and i hope to shoot a pilot for that soon!

Thanks for reading!!

Hi from East London SA!

Thanks Herman, it's good to know there are some more South African's on here...!

Hi Louis, it just so happens that i also live in EL...which, unlike many people, i love actually!
it really is a small world! good to know there is another fellow East Londoner learning the craft...

Yeah, small world.
Wow. What a coincidence!
I like EL to. Not to big and not to small. :)

Hi Shane

Are you talking about the Canon XHA1?

Hi,
Yes, it's the Canon XH-A1. I only got it just over a week ago...
What camera are you using at the moment? I was using a Sony FX1E before the A1...

I don't have a camera yet.

XH-A1 - I've seen sample footage. It looks amazing.
