Hi from Manitoba
 

Hello everyone! I'd like to introduce myself to dvinfo. I'm from a small town, La Salle, MB, CAN. I have a college diploma in radio/tv broadcasting from the Academy of Broadcasting in Winnipeg. I specialized in video production, and looking to find myself a fantastic career in this industry. I graduated last June, so I'm a new, young guy to this business, and I'm sure all be asking a lot of questions from dvinfo members (I've already been on dvinfo looking through many posts/articles, learning a lot).

So far I've had many great opportunities that I have volunteered for and met many fantastic people doing so. My most exciting opportunity will be in January when I head to Kenya to shoot a documentary for a local charity.

Heres what I am using: Canon xl2, sony uwp-v1 wireless mic, and a flourescent light kit. Editing with sony vegas platinum suite 10.

I'm happy to be a dvinfo member! Cheers.

Jamie

Hey Jamie, as a former Manitoban and a former instructor at ABC, I welcome you to the best repository of video knowledge on the web!

Don't suppose I spoke to your class during one of my "state of the industry" speaking engagements there, did I? (I'm the guy that says don't show up on my gigs without a Leatherman and a Maglite...)

You guys still under flood watch?

Hi Jamie
Welcome! Always good to see another Canadian here. I am in Regina, and I shoot primarily talking head stuff, corporate training, awards work, as well as some odds and ends for the Province. I've done work in Central America, in preliminary planning for a trip into Afganistan in the next 12-14 months as part of a medical aid group ( others doing the medical stuff...I'm just shooting...hopefully only with a camera).
There are a lot of very talented and highly experienced folks here..with a great deal of knowledge to pass along. Enjoy, and good luck with your new career!

Welcome aboard Jamie! I'm sure you're going to find these forums to be the best training aid around.

Hello All!

Yes Shaun, I was in that class and definitely remember the leatherman/maglite discussion. I am going to Africa in the winter so I will be sure to have those two things with me!
