I am volunteering my editing services on a documentary for a DGA director. He has a number of mini DV tapes that were shot in PAL at 1080i. We are looking for someone in the LA area that may have a PAL camera or deck who would be willing to digitize the footage in exchange for a credit (you would be volunteering too, like me). I have signed an NDA so I cannot discuss the details of the doc, but I can put you in touch with the director who can fill you in and hopefully you will feel it is a worthy cause. Thanks for reading and PM me if interested.
