Los Angeles DVX group meeting

YEAH! IT WAS AWESOME! We shot a quick improv short narrative using 25 cameras and 57 lights!


I'm kidding. No it didn't happen. But now that I think about it, how cool would it be to pool all the local DVX'ers with their equipment and shoot an improv short narrative? Then again, look at all the trouble we're having just getting people together for coffee! :)
 
I have an idea

I have an idea

I know im new to this forum and I'm actually relatively new to film making and the dvx100a and I'm like a few months late since this topic was started but I have a little idea that might help in actually getting this thing going. From reading all those posts it looks like people aren't sure of whats going on. If everyone here has yahoo emails you can make a yahoo group for this meeting and everytime someone posts something it actually sends an email to everyone. so by doing so everyone would actually know what is going on. but of course everyone has to have a yahoo email or sign up for one. I don't know if this helps but I'm just throwing it out there as an option. I def would like to do some networking among us LA people. hope this helps!
 
scratch that last post

hi I was just looking at the user options for the forums and you can actually subscribe to threads here and when anyone posts anything new you can get an email notification...so yea thats pretty nifty. I say everyone turns that on for this thread. k im gone.
 
Hi Slinks, welcome to the board!

As you noticed, we're pretty much using this thread on this board for that purpose you suggested. The real problem is finding a venue where to meet. Then getting everyone's schedules to sync up.

Truth is, for a first time get together, depending on the amount of people who really show up, I say we find the largest starbucks with the most amount of chairs and just meet up there. I mean we're just going to sit around and chat the first time out anyway, right? It's not like we're going to hook up our cameras and shoot anything or do anything technical.

Thoughts?
 
Oh man, I hope that you guys will still be up for this and meeting in about 6-9months. I will be moving out to L.A. then. And I def. want to meet up get connections, share resources and maybe all together work on a feature. Ah, that would be suckin' sweeeeeeeeet. At least for the people who live in L.A. and cities around L.A.
 
Yes, looks like it is pretty easy to get a decent number of folks together. Now we need to pick a place.

Not enough people have their locations in their profiles, tho! I'm willing to drive an hour plus, into LA, but let's try to plan for it to be someplace centralized and someplace nice.

We could meet up in the San Fernando Valley someplace; that's a lot closer to midpoint than other places. Any thoughts, any complaints? Let's hear from everybody about their locations or at least put it in your profile!

Ventura, here. I know we got another in Thousand Oaks or Santa Barbara or somewhere up here in the 805.
 
Hey Storyteller, thanks for the greeting.

Its good to be a new DVXuser and a part of this website. This website sure has a ton of helpful active people and I am sure to be active as well. I'm pretty anxious to get a short done and posted on here for some critical advise or perhaps maybe praise! :). Well, yea that sounds good starbucks sounds like a good place to meet, hell we can even meet at chuckecheese! Ha ha. Well, I'll check here every so often just in case somethings pulls through.
 
I am in

I am in

I am in Orange County but work in Culver City. My only request is if we can pick it more LA and less Valley to ease it up for the OC and Long Beach people. If not, I am happy to attend anywhere.
 
Is there someone going to take the lead on this? I'm in Santa Barbara so it would be hard for me to, but am willing to do a bit of research to find a place. I was thinking 15-20 people where parking is easy and have some coffee or something.

Last time I was in LA Starbucks seemed to get packed and it was very hard to find a table, especially for a party this size.

I think we should try to take advantage of the fact that Jarred will be in town. As of right now I can't commit to going because school year starts this week, but will definately try.

Should we consider meeting Thursday evening since Jarred may be gone Friday evening?

Okay I'm going to try to come up with some ideas of where, but if people in the LA area want think of a couple of places that would be great.

Oh another thing to consider is what time in the evening. I presume we should wait until traffic dies down a bit. So around what time would that be, 7'ish? I haven't live in LA for a while.
 
Here are a couple of places to consider:

The Coffee Table
Brett Schoenhals and
Michael Zamarripa, Owners
2930 Rowena Ave.
LA, CA 90039
323.644.8111

Philippe the Original_1001 N. Alameda St._Los Angeles_(213) 628-3781_

Chichén Itzá_In Mercado La Paloma, 3655 S. Grand Ave._Los Angeles_(213) 741-1075_
 
hey Jarred, which shows and exhibits are you going to? I was going to try to volunteer but I think I sent in my application too late. I'm still debating on whether to get a pass or not.
 
Damn it, I'm on a deadline. I won't be able to make it. Son of a...!!! I'll have to rain check on this weekend.

Have a great time at the show guys. Someone please report if you all get together, k?
 
Well, I'm new to the forum but certainly willing to help put a group together. Please let me know where you all are in this endeavor.
