N.Y.C. DVX What Do You Wanna Do? Ideas? Plans?

[lebroz]

Things went great, nice to have met every one, for the people that could not make it I'll see you next time.

Pile up on things that you would like to do here and we can discuss them with eachother when we meet up.

Freetype anything that is on your mind, It will be a lot easier to have a feel for eachother and understand our goals so when we meet up we will know what is going on and have pre-thoughts about our ideas and opinions...

N.Y.C. DVX is a GO FULL THROTTLE AHEAD SKIPPER...

Well!

First of all, thanks to all of you who were able to make it to the 1st Meeting.
For those of you who were not able to be there, I will brief you here on how the meeting went.
I want to thank Barry S., Peter (Toronto) and Barry Green for their suggestions for the NYC’s meeting. There were 9 of us who showed up, we introduced each other… I can tell you that there is a lot of talent flowing in within the group.

Here is a list of some of the things we talked about last night:

01) Besides the resources available for us in this community, help each other out with technical knowledge (be it, DVX, Lighting, Acting…)
02) Create a group project, tentatively a feature to submit to Sundance or other film festivals (thanks Aram)
03) Individually be committed to make this User Group happen.
04) Get B&H’s discounts
05) Use Soho’s Apple store facility
06) Share with every member of the group our contact information
07) find/get jobs or internship with feature films been shot here in NYC for the members of the group.

To be discussed here:
06) Get a T-shirt or/and nametag
07) What kind of project we will work on.
08) Assign tasks and responsibilities to each member
09) Set a date for the Second Meeting.
10) Start thinking of a possible NYC DVX film festival.

Something for us to be really excited about is that we have film equipment available for us to use… having said that, we could potentially shoot 35mm or 16mm for free… well with the exception of lab processing. We can discuss that here as well.

Over all, the meeting was good. and we are all very excited to start working on a project together.

Oh! One more thing… if you have not already sent me your contact information to be added to the list that will be distributed among the group and would like to do so, please go ahead and email it to me. FULL NAME, PHONE #, EMAIL & WEBSITE.

Oh! by the way.

Is any body interested in taking the lead for this User Group. Aram, I'd like to invite you to lead us since you seems to have the most experience and are one of the "Founders" of the this dvx community.

No problem LuzCruz... we know you will be coming from far.

How about on Friday, March 11 in the evening.

Perhaps we can start pre-planning for a feature to submit to filmfestivals all around the world.

If you want to take part of this just say "I'm IN" 8)

[LuzCruz]

that date sounds very good. shouldnt be a problem at all.

I am down to start preplanning for a feature. anyone have any ideas? Maybe we should get the whole dvxuser community involved and see if they have any ideas.

[lebroz]

Everyone? you free any times during the day, weekend sat sun

if we could meet up in the morning(not early early)

any day throw one up so we could spend

8-11am to whenever pm we will have more energy and will not be thinking of sleep as much, its also warmer nice natural light,

it all depends how many dvx users are more goulish night creatures or day time folk

Hi all, I cant say that im a founder of this community but have been around pretty close to the beginning of the creation of this site. Leading this would be an honor but Im not the most comfortable person when it comes to talking to large groups. Thats why Im behind the camera not in front of it. ;) Anyway, we can talk about what directions we can go in and start off with little projects to get everyone comfortable with each other and see what our strengths are and our weaknesses. Working on a feature at this point would just waste everyones time. Things WILL go wrong and with a project that big it can make alot of people unhappy. Quality before quantity. I say start off with a 1 minute short and make it a GREAT one minute short and then we move on to a two minute short and so forth. This will help us develope and hone our story telling techniques which is number 1 in my book of things to master before anything else. Maybe everyone has confidence on starting a feature but lets get all of our gears fitted in the right place first. It will be easier to get people to listen to us if we have a few great pieces to show when we ask for support.
Friday March 11th sounds good to me.
