I'ill be there. I'm glad someone finally got the ball rolling. If we pool our resources and try to help each other, it will make it easier for all of us to get our projects done. I've got a dvx100a and a small sound studio.
I don't know what to expect on turnout as far as the general public tomorrow, but if any of you folks from on here stop by don't leave without finding me! (not that the area we'll be in is all that big).
I need a couple (well, three) shooters for a live band in Atlanta. Could do either thursday (thanksgiving) or friday, or both. It only has to be DVX shooters, but if 3 HVXers reply, well obviously that would work.
If you're available, interested, please email me. The budget is not remarkable, but at the very least it'd be something for your reel (in addition to -some- money for your time) and hopefully it could turn into more gigs, in the future, if this shoot turns out well.
If you're available and/or interested, please drop me a line!
Hello, my name is James Bell (AKA "JB"). I have been reading this thread for some time and noticed a lot of folks who are interested in regular meetings. I have hosted lots of general public meetings, conferences, forums. I would like to establish a regular monthly meeting stating in January.
My experience says it will take several meetings with guest speaker(s) to get the interest up. I know our time is valuable and we must make this meeting as productively as we can. But, there is also something to be said for just socializing and getting to know others in the Atlanta market. No reason this cannot be fun and informative.
I plan to set a date and time and promote the Atl. DVX meetings through Meetup.com. My idea for meetings is to invite guests such as editors, lighting directors, vendors who can give us insight into the biz. Perhaps we can learn new technics or about a new product that will make our "work" easier or more exciting.
I have 2 locations we can meet:
1. Three Bears Cafe on the Square in Marietta
2. Smith's Olde Bar Midtown Atlanta
I have set a date for January 13 for the 1st meeting of '07. This will give us a month to plan and promote. I need your input as to time and day. I suggest Saturday - 1:00pm or 4:00pm. Sunday is generally good for me too. I know that not everyone can attend ever meeting due to scheduling (work and family) but we must set the meeting on a regular schedule so things are consistent.
If you are interested in helping me promote the DVX meetings and be a meeting leader, feel free to give me a call or email me.
I'll be at the meeting. If we all put our talents and equipment together it will make our movies much easier and cheaper to make. The total is greater then the sum of the parts, or something like that.
Hey guys, I will set up a public Google Calender event, so that anybody who searches calenders for "atlanta, video,ect" will get the info. Each week will have information about who the guest speakers, location, times, ect.
Another good place to get the word out would be to post on
