TONIGHT'S MEETING, 9/26, 7pm, Town Hall

A reminder, tonight's meeting is in TOWN HALL at 7:00 pm. For those unfamiliar with Town Hall's location on the Apple Campus, here is a link to a map:

On the map, pay attention to the red "Town Hall" designation (and ignore the funky "October 23rd Meeting" thing). Parking is plentiful and free as is the meeting, and all are welcome to attend. Doors open at 6:30 pm.

The agenda overview looks like this:

(1) RED ONE
(2) Pizza Break
(3) Demo Reels

The agenda details are below.

(1) RED ONE:
Torrey Loomis of Silverado Systems will have, live on our Town Hall stage, a complete RED ONE system! This is an actual production model, one of the very first released. Not only will he talk about its features, our audience members will have an opportunity to get a bit of hands-on time with the camera (not a lot of time, of course, given how many people will likely want to line up to try it, but definitely a bit). Torrey will also show some original footage captured by this camera from a recent shoot at Lake Tahoe.

(2) Pizza Break:
The fabulous Pizza Break is back, now in its 273rd magnificent year! Once again MacFilmmakers continues to fill the tummies and expand the waistlines of filmmakers everywhere. Pizza, munchies/candy and soft drinks, all at the low, low cost of...umm...nothing at all. Yup, it's all free. And, tonight, dinner is served in the classy Piano Lounge adjacent to Town Hall.

(3) Demo Reels:
Given that it has been a couple of months since we've had a regular meeting, I'm going to guess there might be a bit of a backlog on demo reels to show. Tonight we have plenty of time for reels. Do feel free to share your recent work of up to 8 minutes. (Normally we cap demo reels at 5 minutes, but the extra time in tonight's schedule allows us a bit more breathing room.) Note: if anyone does have a longer reel/sample/short they would like to show sometime, contact me in advance and we will see what can be arranged.
