Joe Dono TV News Story Hits the Web!

I think this guy truly needs to be exposed. In a community of filmakers, I'm surpised that nobody has thought to compile a video with the victim's testimonials, regarding both physical and intellectual property. If he is ripping off people financially and their videos and photos, someone needs to compile this information and post it into a video on Youtube and Vimeo. There is a lot of scattered info out there and it would be cool to have it all clearly laid out so people know.

It really sicks for the victims in all of this, but it would be really nice to make sure people understand what's going on so it can be stopped once and for all. Maybe doing something like a compiled video will help more people from being scammed. Stealing, Fraud, Copyright Infringement. People need to know, not have to sift through pages upon pages of stuff to get the hard details.

As much as I would like to, I don't know if it is really my place to do so since I am not technically a victim, I just have to see it all the time and from the outside looking in, it seems like such a tragedy that people have to go through this. I will think about it though..
 
I'm in the same boat. That being said, this kid frustrates me beyond the point of madness... and has for literally years now. I'm hoping the sheriff's office is actually doing something about it (finally), so we'll see what happens. If you decide to put something together, let me know, I'll help where I can...

Is this the reel with footage lifted from others? Shall we start leaving comments with citations to the actual authors?

WOah WOAH WOAH, I worked on a project in that reel, the one with the guy looking out the window, opening the big chest, and the girl watching.... Emailed the producer.

Yeah, thats the norm with this guy. Countless others have said the same thing. Members on the board here have said that it is THEIR actual footage.
 
Oh, there's plenty of my actual footage in there; lots of clips that Vincent Pascoe shot for us on Shady, Texas and "Depth of Phil", and lots of other clips of Vincent's. I wouldn't be surprised at all if every single clip on that reel was stolen.
 
Well from his youtube, a few of the clips are his since he's credited in the middle of videos, over more video, to cover up that would be too much
 
go to his vimeo page and read his Bio, he stole that to. Everything about this scumbag is either A lie or stolen. The sad thing is he's to dumb to realize people don't believe a word he says.

In his warped mind, this is his reel because he edited the stolen clips to music. lol

He has been, repeatedly... and yet law enforcement in his hometown chooses to sit on their @$$. Maybe they do have more serious things to worry about, but when a cop writes in a report: "Dono's past and present actions are showing an on-going pattern to scheme and defraud," hasn't he been exposed, and shouldn't they act on that knowledge?

Good idea, but not easy to accomplish. Trust me.

The info's been compiled. Getting law enforcement to act on it is another issue. Trust me.

You don't have to be a victim to act on it. Trust me. If you want to do it, then you should just do it... nike style.

Don't get me wrong, Groove, there are lots of stories all around, lots of threads, but I don't come across "victims" all that often per se. Its not because they don't exist, lord knows theres way too many of them, and I have seen lots of them, but it has been after sifting through mounds of threads, sometimes dozens of pages deep. And people learn and understand differently, so putting all of the "good, beefy information" into video form will help get the facts out so people really understand, so they don't get "Dono'ed". I'm just saying there is a lot of "yeah, I don't like that guy" and ooohhh's and ahhh's around the facts. There needs to be a video on the facts with testimonials, not just a bunch of talk and dozens of people saying "how it just goes to show you shouldn't....", we get it, that's fine, but put only facts together for people in a few minute video describing who this guy is and what he has done. No opinions, no onlookers. Facts.
