Hiya

Joined this boards a couple of days ago and just wanted to say hi :) Really like the community here what I've managed to read so far.

I don't have DVX yet, as I'm still in the process of deciding whether to get it or XL-2, but surfing these forums makes the choice helluva lot easier... Tho, even if I choose Canon for some reason (like if get to see it's 24p in action and it somehow impresses me much), I'll stick to this boards anyway :)

I've been into filmmaking and films as long as I remember myself, making short movies as a kid and stuff, reading tons of books and spending countless hours in theatres... you know how it is ;) Reason why I never got to do anything serious was that at the age of 14-15 I realized that I can't take the look of the video seriously, I NEED 35mm hehe, but ended up studying law in college, mostly thanks to my parents :( However this year I'm finally attending film school and most likely dropping law... Yeah, I got brave enough to convince everyone, including myself, that I will be a director, I'm prepared to take this road.

A few months ago I concentrated on learning composing and visual effects on my PC, because a) was bored and had nothing to do ;D b) it'll prove usefull someday c) I was already good with Premiere, Flash etc. so I figured why not. And even though I wasted soo much $ on software and plug-ins, that it'd be enough for DVX with good lenses >:( I really enjoy it now. You can check my web site www.xl70e3.com to see some of the stuff I made in the past 2 months. It's nowhere close to completion, but still, hope you'll like it :D

dang this came out to be one long arse post with a lot of smileys, sorry ???
 
Re: Hiya

Welcome to the site, err...xl70e3. You've used your February quota of smilies, but feel free to hang around anyway. Above all we're a community of DV filmmakers and we have a sizeable group of regulars without DVX100's.
 
Re: Hiya

Does the quota increase as our member standings increase? ;)   Where is the quote listed, I need to know how many I am allowed and how many more I get once I make it to the ever popular "Gold Member"  8) status, and then the highly coveted "Platinum Member"  :o status.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Edited to add:

Oh yea, Hi! :D
 
Re: Hiya

I own no cameras beyond my small collection of 35mm and 120 still cameras. Somehow they continue to let me post here, so I wouldn't worry about personally owned equipment.

As a side note, a filmmaker with a law degree might be someone to take seriously. Maybe you should get the degree and then continue on to make films.
 
Re: Hiya

Thanks, everyone

We'll see how it goes

BTW anyone checked my site yet? There is not that much to look at atm, but I'd appreciate some opinions anyway. Especially on the videos in AC2 section, which are my biggest vfx effort so far.

Of course I'm not a pro by any means, but I believe I can provide some help with AE and maybe Combustion, if someone ever needs or even make something, I'd be glad to.
 
Re: Hiya

Welcome! Visited your site. You've got talent. Can't wait to see what you can do with a camera and some 3d. Good luck and, once again, welcome.

Re: Hiya

When someone as important and influential as PK welcomes you, it is truly an honor! ;)


You are indeed welcome. :)
 
Re: Hiya

Dakota - Any more sarcasm from you and you'll be knocked down to a "Trainee" again. >:(

...Not that I have the power to do that. But I WON'T hesitate to start a petition and solicit signatures.  That's right, a petition. ...Be afraid. Be VERY afraid.

That was NOT sarcasm! I meant it is TRULY an honor to be welcomed by Mr. Gillock!

Please do not punish me sir...
 
Re: Hiya

Hmmm If you had said "Mr. Gillock" in your first post then I wouldn't had threaten a petition.  All you boys and girls out there pay attention, ...The only way to get respect is with idle threats. Ohh And don't trust anything Capt. Jack Sparrow says.

Re: Hiya

Do you get the strange feeling you and I are the only ones reading this thread? :D
