Hey guys and gals in the greater Los Angeles area.
I answered a post under JOBS for DVXUser member DESMAN asking for some "donated" time and help from DVX owners to lend a hand in a multi-camera shoot.

He invited me down to Hermosa Beach this afternoon, where I met him for the first time, and I sat in on a rehearsal with all of his actors as they read through the script.
I brought my DVX and just rolled while they rehearsed, so I could get comfortable around them, and to see how comfortable they were with a camera hovering around.
It's a great little story, with some really talented actors. The whole setting is a group couples therapy session with a successful doctor running the show. He wanders around and asks questions while all the characters sit in a semi-circle and hash out their differences.
Everyone seemed so comfortable with their roles, I forgot they were acting, and I felt like a fly on the wall of a real therapy session. The characters come from all walks of life, and the story is clever and funny, and almost has an unscripted improv vibe to it.
The reason I am posting this here is in hopes that more people see this, and perhaps get excited about jumping on board. If you live in the Los Angeles area and own a DVX100 or 100A and have some free time to help out DESMAN, follow the link above for more details. Or respond to this thread and I'll have desman check it out.
Thanks,
Tony
Oh and I HAVE to tell a little story...One of the actors threw a hissy fit over nothing today and walked off the project. I nonchalantly hit the record button on the DVX and caught the whole thing on tape.
Since the actor had already signed a release form to use his likeness associated with this project, with desman's permission we're going to post the clip as a warning of what to watch out for when hiring an actor.
