Hello from New Jersey

In the immortal words of Kevin Spacey as "Detective Jack Vincennes" in LA CONFIDENTIAL:

JACK'S BACK!

And Jack, tell your cousin, Bob, that he looks really good with that white hair of his! And he's still a hit with the ladies, at his age! HA!

Who knows, after the workshop, whiskey and coffee?

Jack Barker · March 15th, 2006, 08:34 AM

Kevin Spacey - what an excellent actor! Deservedly, also one of the Garden State's favorite sons (South Orange) and he's one of Hollywood's biggest supporters of independent film.

Hugh DiMauro · March 15th, 2006, 10:07 AM

Oh yes! I agree! I became a BIG Spacey fan after his performance in "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil."

There's also Roy Scheider.

Jack Barker · March 15th, 2006, 11:12 AM

There are so many, I couldn't choose. "The Shipping News", "American Beauty", "The Usual Suspects", and of course his incomparable turn on the TV series, "Wise Guy," as the sympathetic uber-villain, Mel Profitt.

Hugh DiMauro · March 20th, 2006, 03:21 PM

Gene Hackman. Steve McQueen. Ben Kingsley (Krishna Bhanji)

Hi. Coming in to this thread kinda late. But I live in NJ (Princeton) and do documentary & video art. Not as a day job (I teach), but the video work consumes much of my free time. I wonder what types of video you other folks who are in NJ do.

Sorry I missed out on the lighting workshop, but if there's ever another, I'd be interested.

Jack Barker · March 27th, 2006, 05:30 PM

Hi Carolyn, welcome to the thread and to DVInfo - maybe the best site of its kind.

We have organized the Lighting Workshop for Sunday, May 21st, in NYC and as it turns out, one of our number has had to drop out, so there is a place available. Not one of us has ever met another, except here at DVInfo and we're really looking forward to changing that and to a great workshop.

Drop me a line if you're interested.

Denis Danatzko · April 25th, 2006, 08:51 PM

I'm in west Essex county, very near the border with Morris cty.

I doubt I have the knowledge and experience that most here do, but I'm hoping to increase that as much - and as soon - as possible.

Looking forward to spending lots more time on this board.

Boyd Ostroff · April 26th, 2006, 06:33 AM

Welcome to DVinfo Denis! Will look forward to hearing about what you're up to.

Enrique Galvis · June 2nd, 2006, 01:14 PM

I kept trying to find time to join this forum for quite awhile and now thanks to the slow render times of Ppro I have that time.
I'm from New Jersey and have been full time working the event video business for the past 5 years using Sony and Canon cameras, Premiere, Ppro, Avid and FCP.
I hope I can be of help to this community.

Boyd Ostroff · June 2nd, 2006, 04:55 PM

Welcome Enrique! There are a number of us New Jerseyans here at DVinfo:

I'm in Northern NJ, near the border of Morris, Passaic, & Essex Counties. Very new to the forum myself, and just moving up from consumer products.
Recently purchased a Panny HVX-200, tripod, dolly, a few mics, and have ordered a new computer for the latest Adobe suite w/Flash. Have been doing video on/off for family/friends for more than 15 years, and have decided to take the plunge after much encouragement from others. What I'm looking for now is more experience in the "real world." Have worked on/off with a local producer for about a year, but am always looking to learn from others, as well as my mistakes. If you ever find yourself in need of either a second camera, or "crew help" with one of your projects, contact me. If I'm available, I'll do what I can.

I'm from Plainfield, New Jersey, in Union County.

Enrique Galvis · June 3rd, 2006, 08:03 AM

Hey Boyd, I remember your area from the time when I was stationed at McGuire AFB a looooooong time ago. Other than Pleasantville/Brigantine area and Ocean City for weddings haven't hung out much in that area lately.
Dennis, might take you up on that. I have to check my schedule because I think that I overbooked a wedding and two graduations on the same day. I'll let you know very soon.
Glenn, glad to meet you.
I checked Boyd's threads and I see a few friends there. Good to know I'm in good company and at the risk of sounding "Dumb" wish I remembered to log in more often a few years ago before I got deleted for lack of use of this forum.
