Greetings from Pennsylvania...

Welcome to DVinfo Walter. I work in Philadelphia too!

Lorinda Norton · June 30th, 2006, 03:38 PM

Hiya Walter!
I just visited your city with a friend last week! Didn't get to spend much time there as it was a go-between, but we ate good Mexican food one night and walked along Penn's Landing, (I think that's what it's called) ate scary Chinese food late another night in a part of town that scared me more than the food, and got to see some of the famous historical sites. The most fun part, however, was running up the same steps as Sylvester Stallone (at 12:30 am), raising my arms in the air when I got to the top and standing in "Rocky's" footsteps. That was cool! (What can you expect? I'm from Idaho!) ;)

Welcome to DV Info! :)

p.s. to Boyd: I also got to spend a great night in Cape May. Near Mays Landing?

Boyd Ostroff · June 30th, 2006, 06:24 PM

Hi Lorinda! Awhile ago I read that running up those steps was the #1 tourist attraction in Philadelphia :-)

Mays Landing is maybe 45 miles North of Cape May, which is at the southernmost tip of New Jersey. I live around here:

Cape May is way down here:

It's a really cool place, but a little beyond my commuting range to Philadelphia.

Hiya Walter!

I'm with the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office here in Atlantic City. If you ever run into a Philly childhood friend of mine and current Philadelphia Prosecutor named Robert Daisey, tell him I said hello. Welcome. I also own a DVX. Gotta love that rig, eh?

Kevin Martorana · March 7th, 2007, 12:59 AM

hey everyone !

Take One Productions is based in Lancaster, PA. (no...our editors and shooters AREN't Amish !) :)

We're shooting on DVCPro50 with an SDX900, a Panasonic DVX100A for DV,
Canon XL-H1 for HD and frequently rent the F900 Cine Alta.

We're posting with an Avid Adrenaline HD. Using a AJA downconvert box to go to SD. Also using a Convergence Connect box to capture video from the XL H1 into the Avid.

This is a great forum...and look forward to talking with lots of you folks.

Hi Kevin, welcome aboard DV Info Net, it's good to have you with us!

Hugh DiMauro · October 17th, 2007, 02:19 AM

Ahhh, Lancaster! Where I used to go to escape the NJ rat race. Miller's, funnel cakes, shoo-fly pie, gentle rolling hills, Intercourse, Blue Balls, the fantastic butcher shops, cool antique shops. I always wanted to make a movie there but never had the chance. I hope you enter a DV challenge so I can get a glimpse of Lancaster again. It's a neat place. Then again, I can also watch "Witness" again. :-)

Richard Alvarez · October 17th, 2007, 08:54 AM

Lancaster... I spent a week there one day.

Seriously, I actually LIVED in Lancaster for five months out of the year, for three years running. 'Back in the day' when I was producing medieval jousts for renaissance faires, I lived in Mt. Hope... ten miles from Lancaster.

One of my favorite visits was to 'Roots' farmers market.

And yeah, I miss shoo flie pie.

Welcome.

Wade Spencer · October 18th, 2007, 09:29 AM

Welcome from another Pennsylvania member! What kind of things do you produce? Do you have a website?

Bill Mecca · October 18th, 2007, 10:13 AM

Just love the Lancaster area. I'm a Jersey boy, but escape to Lancaster whenever I can. Worked in television news in Scranton (family still there) and keep thinking of a move to Lancaster, but kinda tied up in the day job, so maybe come retirement time ;-)

Some of the guys I worked with are still shooting in that area, but we have lost touch, though I did have contact with an old competitor recently. Oh boy here comes the memory flood. LOL

Dale Stoltzfus · October 18th, 2007, 10:31 AM

Hey, I live there! :) I live in Denver and my office is in Ephrata. Cool - it's great to find someone else in my general area!

You mentioned renting - where is the place you rent from? I have yet to find any video production rental houses within reasonable driving distance.

Eric Casper · November 14th, 2007, 12:27 PM
