THANK YOU, DVXuser

[GlimmerGhost]

I wasn't really sure if this had been done before, But to tell you the truth, even if it has, I Think it's high time it be done again.

I feel a personal wish to thank the DVXuser forum and all it's members, with a special thanks to it's President and the Moderators for all their hard work and dedication.
Every member here knows of the valuable resources this forum provides, the unwavering help most of the members here give sometimes to the point of exhaustion and beyond is exemplary of not just how one should conduct themselves within a community, but as human beings as well.

I def. would like to thank each member by name, but to mention some and not all would be an injustice. So I hope it sufficient with this "thank You" on a personal note from me regardless if anyone else does the same. All of you know who you are and you deserve it; Maybe other members wish to say "thanks" as well, maybe some might want to say "your welcome". Regardless of any of that, I just wanted to say:

THANK YOU DVXuser!!!

[Jarred Land]

wow what a buncha nice words.. thanks guys. it means alot.

In celebration of throwing down the love.. I will be announcing a new addition to dvxuser tonight, most of you should be able to see in the middle of the navbar at the top of the page, a new link called "Member Upload Center."

This is gonna be a new FREE addition to dvxuser that gives you 10mb of file storage for your posts so you can upload trailers, clips, image grabs etc. to share with each other. Should be working in about 6 or so hours.

Just a little of me showing my appreciation for everyone here.

Thanks guys!

[Rich Lee]

yeah...dvxuser rocks. its what helped me choose to get a dvx. its a great place for people not only to learn techie stuff...but to also post work and have people see it and comment on it. almost instant feedback.

in'n'out rocks too...so does tommys in LA...every so often its good to gross out on a chilly cheese burger and frys. gross and good at the same time.

[GlimmerGhost]

i agree. thanks dvxuser.

ps Glimmer what part of Cleveland are you from?

West side of cleveland, 2 min from downtown. Why, you close by?
By the way, thanks Jarred for such a cool option!

I wished I'd said that...

[Jarred Land]

ha ha ha..

you guys can go test it out before i announce it.. let me know.

[Blaine]

It works great, Jarred. Here's a picture of my daughter and her dog. I'm not sure how to make it smaller. I set the size up for a width of 2" in Photoshop, but it's still kind of large...

[Jarred Land]

if your using a mac.. download a program called dropic. it will resize your photos by drag and drop and is brilliant

http://www.kreynet.de/dropic/

[Blaine]

I'll give it a try... going to look for it now. :thumbsup:

EDIT: I downloaded it (twice) but it didn't seem to be working for me. I couldn't get it to open whether double clicking on it or dropping a photo onto the icon...oh well, maybe I'll try again later...

[MalcolmOng]

I wished I'd said that...

Lol ya suck up

[Blaine]

[CallaghanFilms]

Much appreciated, Jarred. http://www.geocities.com/the_callaghans/emoticon-10.gif

Blaine inspired me...so I'll tested the waters with a pic of the wee Callaghans. Works like a dream.

[thetaintedwindow]

I joined recently but have been gfollowing thesite for about a year, this site is my filmschool, without it i'd be lost. Also, sorry for singling him out, but Barry Green is the man for putting the DVX book together!! Thanks again!

[Jarred Land]

cool.. so it looks like its working :)

[Ben Sliker]

don't know how i missed a "thanks dvxuser thread" but cheers to that. *bows to jarred* "we're not worthy, we're not worthy"

[Z]

Shall I send an E-card now? I'm afraid it would have to count as my submission.
...Damn it's over 10mb's. Hats off fellas! :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

[Noel Evans]

Yeah good call on this thread, felt lately the fellowship has been faltering. Little spats etc. This thread is a timely reminder why we all come here.

P.S. Jarred how about a new status for those of us over a thousand posts..... say ummm Damn Senior Member or... Member entitled to drink with horse or... umm... shit its ben that many... btw my 1000th post video is coming, just waiting for the scaffolding I ordered :P

[snodart]

A BIG thanks from me as well.


I have pulled info from many sites and forums over the last 2 years. Aside from the fact that I am like a crack addict on this thing, DVXuser has been by far the greatest resource.

:dankk2:

this site has saved me on four separate occasions so far and I assume many more to come. Thanks to everyone and our Pres. for the hard work and open, information laced atmosphere we have here.

[GenJerDan]

Oh, yeah. When I first moved to California in 1979, you saw those "modified" bumper stickers quite often. I have to admit, though, I haven't seen one like that in quite a few years.

[GenJerDan]

This one was in Germany. Berlin, to be specific.

1985 to be specific-er.


Oh, crap. Some of the people on this board weren't even born then.

do you own a dvx yet? i'm on the board now, but i still don't have enough money to get one. saving up still...

[GlimmerGhost]

Yeah, got mine about 2 months ago from the marketplace, almost sold it twice in that timeframe due to all the cool looking footage coming out of the HVX... friggin hype almost killed our relationship. But it's probably better to learn to use what I have first before going out and buying a whole other camera with a steeper learning curve.
Just bought the Rode ntg2 mic and the cartoni focus tripd, gonna get the m2 next month.
Its funny, I got into filmaking this febuary, bought a palmcorder... returned it. Almost bought a gl2, cancelled the order... "Friend" wanted to unload his XL1 on me and almost sold me with a "it's thecamera they used on 28 days later" speech. But then i found DVXuser and learned too much great info to ignore. The rest is yet to be history though, I have been messing around with the DVX at parks and stuff, but have yet to produce a single short. I have loads of cool ideas, just gotta get out there and actually do them.

[imgentertainment@mac]

Cheers,

This site has become to mean and help me allot over the years. And the people that I have met and the events I have attended are top notch. The members here are what make this board worth coming to everyday. So thanks for everyone that has helped me and thanks for everyone that has kept this place alive with interesting conversation.

Yeah I think 1000 it should chang. I like "Member entitled to drink with horse" or "umm... shi* its ben that many" Or what ever maybe just put addic

[GlimmerGhost]

Have you worked on anything yet though? Could be cool to hash a project out...

Speaking of trying to work something out, I been trying to get my settings correctly to produce the kind of picture I want for two months now. Finnally got the look I wanted today, :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG) It was from the default settings. I'll probably get :banned: for that statement, but its actually a testament to the power of this camera right out of the box.

[flnstudios]

I've been here for about a week and have already learned more than I could have hoped to learn in months. This is by far the best and most useful forum I've ever been a part of.

[Andrew Brinkhaus]

DVXuser is honestly one of the greatest web achievements ever created in my opinion. Without this site, I may not be....whew, I can't even say. It's funny though, because I have friends who have graduated from film schools across the country, and still I sit here, giving advice to those with years more experience. I owe all my technical knowledge and passion of filmmaking to DVXuser. Thank you.

[Jarred Land]

wow inspiring words Andrew.. thank you!

[Barry_Green]

Very cool of you to say. I am constantly impressed with the caliber of people we get here, who contribute so freely of their time with everyone else.

[HorseFilms]

Look in the mirror, Barry. You're one of the people who really make this site the great resource that it is. :dankk2:

[Brandon Rice]

Amen Horse... I just want to say that DVXUSER ROCKS!

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

I joined at the end of June.

Katrina turned my life over and shook it out in pieces like furniture from a doll house at the end of August.

My girlfriend and our newly adopted beagle and two cats and I evacuated to my parent's farm in Texas where we lived in the garage (I finished Shed) and we substitute taught elementary school
http://9.forumer.com/html/emoticons/multilevel/puke.gif
Then we moved back to New Orleans in October for 4 months where we struggled to get by with all my income sources washed away by the Hurricane. (and made another DVXuser movie)

When our landlord evicted us because he needed to live in our apartment (we had been month to month for a year), and with rent in the area doubling, we relocated to Brooklyn like immigrants from another country coming to the promised land in hopes of increased opportunity (and made another DVXuser movie).

Beyond technical knowledge and helping to make my dream of being a filmmaker come true, DVXuser has been the most consistent community and group of friends that I have had in this year of upheaval and re-invention. Whomever I had to leave behind in whatever city, whatever newly conceived plan for making some kind of new life that had to be scrapped for a newer yet equally short lived plan, DVXuser was the only constant outside my GF, the beagle and the two cats.

Given that, it's no wonder I earned and then re-earned and then double earned the monicker "Mr. Excitable" several times over based on the ebb and flow and ups and downs of this site and interactions with the members here. In other words what happens on DVXuser matters to me ... a helluva lot.

Thanks for being a light house in a year adrift, where I am just now am I coming to shore.

Jack

we love ya jack :)

here.

Yeah, it's funny actually, cuz even though i'm new here I used to spend alot of my time as a guest just looking at the stuff you guys talk about, I kinda feel like I know all of you. It's cool to see people singin and getting along, and most of all paying tribute to people like Jarred & Barry which is why I started this thread in the first place.
I know I still got to pay my dues (about 400 posts right? :nads: ) but I just wanted to say that each and every one of you ROCK!

[Yardsale]

It works great, Jarred. Here's a picture of my daughter and her dog. I'm not sure how to make it smaller. I set the size up for a width of 2" in Photoshop, but it's still kind of large...

So is this why you tried to kiss me last night? I thought you were just drunk.

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

OK, no one was actually supposed to DO it . . . Bwahahah!
And that's why we love Brandon - his inocent naivety and overdeveloped earnestness :)

And yes I'd had a "few" cocktails last night when I posted. Mark (desperatecomfort) and I got to go to an open bar function at this swanky hoo hah club in the Manhattan.

As a struggling filmmaker in a city where beers are $6 and up and cocktails run $10 -$20, my mission was singular and crystalline - hurt the bar as much as possible financially!

Thanks for the shoutouts, all. They really do mean a lot :cheesy:

Cool thing about chilling here with you guys....I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and saw Rich's name in the credits, and it occurred to me that before the movie, we saw a trailer for Deja Vu, which Jack will be in. I had to smile to myself at the funny factor in that. :)

Been here since I started filmschool. Now I´m almost graduating. This was some good 50% of my film education...
