I really wish I could go, but there is just no way. I hope lots of you go, anyways..and thanks to dillont for organizing. For sure video/film production requires lots of friends and associates.
Well, I'm leaving the office now and heading to S.F. for the meeting. Here's to hoping the meeting is really happening tonight and I won't look like an incompetent bufoon again. :thumbsup:
Yep, you missed it, we had a good time. There were about 7 or 8 of us that turned out for this inaugural meeting, not bad for the first meeting. You'll have to call in sick next time
I'm looking forward to future meetings, I think this can be a very useful group. Kind of a physical extension to DVXUser.com.
We did have 7 people turn out for the first meeting. We've got some really talented film makers and producers from the industry who came to the meeting. Lots of technical discussion about tripods, 24p vs. 24pA, benefits/drawbacks of editing on avid vs. FCP, camera cases, and other odds and ends.
A couple of people shared their most recent works.
A tour of the BAVC facility was given by me, peppered with "ooohs" and "aahs!".
We discussed what we'd want in the future - more sharing of information about different technologies in film making and how to best support the 24p format. It looks like we'll be having our meetings on Mondays.
I will get the room reserved for next month (November), and let y'all know what day that will wind up being - how's the 3rd Monday of every month sound to y'all?
Looking forward to the next meeting. Please pitch in your ideas for what specifically we could cover for the next meeting. There are quite a few more people who will be attending next time around.
And TC - we spent about 1 hour talking about you too. Too bad you weren't there.
I would have really liked to have been there Dillon because I am only an hour away. Mondays are no good for me right now because this quarter I have a film history class until late on mondays. Maybe next quarter. Keep it up guys.
I will be scheduling the next meeting over the weekend. Need to make sure the room is available. Most likely will be the 3rd Monday of November (Thanksgiving week?)
If y'all would prefer the 2nd Monday of the month, let me know
Dunno if thanksgiving is a good time.. My schedule may be open anyway, but it is the holidays. I'd prefer the second monday, but the third will probably work anyway; other people might have plans for the week.
3rd week sound ok for me. 2nd and 3rd weekends are my shooting days for my short so either monday is tight, but at least the 3rd monday I'll have more to bring?
3rd monday it is. I'll reserve the room tonight. It will be 7-10pm Monday, November 21st. Hopefully that guy from Monterey will bring in some dailies of his current shoot.
Any topics and/or speakers you would like to have discussed?
I am in postproduction on a 3-minute short that I am doing for a contest...it will be done by the time we meet again and I can bring it; however, it was shot on a consumer panasonic 3-chip, not the DVX.
