Hello all,

I've been in video production for about 6 1/2 years now, and have an extensive background in audio production. I'm looking forward to picking up some tips and tricks, and hopefully being able to contribute a few. See you on the slopes.

I just found this board through some search engine (probably Yahoo but I am not 100% certain) and it looks like a site I will be going to every day from now on.
I have interested in film since high school (farther back than I care to remember) when every camera was the size of the professional cameras and now I have moved on to the wonderful Canon GL2.
By day I am a computer programmer and on nights and weekends I work as a photographer/videographer for a local radio station. You would not think there would be much call for a photographer/videographer for a radio station but it tends to keep my busy and I get to travel a bit with them.
I currently have a Gateway PIII 900mhz system with 512M RAM which I use to run Premier 6.5 and Photoshop 7 to do all my work. I am in the process of building a new system that should be state of the art (for about 5 minutes).

I live in Macon!!!....I am in pre-production on a short/feature titled "rain", I am in need of a DP for this production if you're interested i'd love to discuss it more with you!!!!
I've tried to sell the story for years but you know how difficult that is so, i've formed Shogun Films and will shoot the sucker myself. Welcome to the community, i'm a newbie myself and I hope to hear from you soon.

hi all,
Dave ratner here. a sony vx2000 newbie. I am in longmeadow, Ma where we are in the midst of a mother snowstorm.
I bought the camera to film my highschool kid who is a jazz guitarist and plays tons of gigs.
after reading all the posts I am now real confused about the mic I should when I record him. Why can't it be easy, ya know?
I am awed at the knowledge you folks have and very grateful you are willing to share it.
Happy holidays,
Dave

Rick Foxx · December 26th, 2002, 11:31 AM

Hi Dave.

A lot depends on how big the venue is, and what kind of sound system is in use. If your son is on stage playing solo, I'd just mic the guitar directly into the camera. If it's a larger group, you might be better off taking a feed from the house sound system. If you could provide some more information about the setup you want to record, I'd be happy to throw in my nickle's worth of advice.

Charles Papert · December 26th, 2002, 04:07 PM

Hi Dave...

So, are you in Agawam or Longmeadow? Many years ago I worked at a production company in Feeding Hills shooting local commercials and corporate. It was a long road from there to Hollywood (3000 miles at least!) but I got there eventually!

Welcome!

Rob Lohman · December 29th, 2002, 05:41 PM

Welcome aboard Gary! We seem to be in the same occupation
since I'm also into computer programming professionaly. Glad you
have found this site and most of us check in every day as well!

Hello All

My name is Doug Sapp, I am retired Coast Guard. I would like to

Dominik Chrzan · February 10th, 2003, 09:46 PM

Well, I’ve only been here for a few days, but I must say I’m impressed. To the owners, very good job on keeping a very professional and educational milieu; to everyone else, excellent, excellent work!! (yes, I’ve been watching sample movie after sample movie with no hope of stopping in the foreseeable future). =P

I won’t bore you all with too much background, suffice to say I’m a biologist + soon to be medical student + [I would like to think] amateur travel doco filmmaker. Basically, I’m here just to learn as much as I can about my new vx2k and the whole production process. Hmmm, that’s about it for now, but I will be specifically looking for people on this site who might have similar interests/filming goals to gather info from … just be forewarned. =)

Cheers,

Dom

Good to have you join our community. Your Sony VX2000 is a fine piece of DV gear. I just saw (on the news) some field reporters swinging them around while training for Iraq battle reporting.

We have several folks who specialize in shooting travel documentaries, at least one of which does so professionally. Hopefully you'll have a chance to hook up with them here soon.

Dominik Chrzan · February 12th, 2003, 10:07 PM

looking forward to interacting with everyone on this board, but especially excited that there are other's here doing what i hope to do someday, that is, on a more professional level than i have been able to as of yet.

actually, i have in production now a doco from this past summer, where a friend and i travel australia's cape york peninsula in an old land rover. not the best in terms of technique/equipment, but an adventure nonetheless! hopefully i'll be able to post a trailer soon.
