Here's a good suggestion --
",, a request to bring whatever accessories people have for their HVXs so we can all get a first hand look at what is working for people. Also, this would give us a small "try before you buy" experience.
E.g., I'll bring the Bebob Foxi and Zoe; Indie Snap! matte box; P2 Store; etc. "
I won't be making the meeting, and I don't have an HVX, but I am a director in Bloomington, 2 hours south of Chicago and with enough notice I'd definately be interested in future meets just to make contacts.
I've got a short script I'm in pre-production with now. I plan to shoot late March next year (I need the late winter, early spring weather for the right setting.) I'm 26, graduated from S.C.A.D. with a Bachelors in Film, minor in Sound Design, moved here from LA a year and a half ago, and I'm extremely excited to meet some locals, even if I have to drive 2 hours to do it. BTW I'm looking for a DP so getting to know some HVX owners / dps is definately on my priority list.
Great meeting!!! DVXuser is great, and its members are the best. The meeting flew by and we shut down the coffee shop. We thought a somewhat regular time would be good in the future. I'm sure more details will follow soon.
For all you that missed it, we missed you. See you next time! Also, bootcamp is coming soon--sign up!
