MacFilmmakers: January '08 Meeting Info & Photos

Hello all,

Mark, your itinerate MacFilmmakers sound guru here. I've been taking some pictures at our meetings recently with a new Nikon D40x SLR I received this last holiday season. Thought I would start posting some of these for all to see.

Our January session was very informative with Kevin Johnson and myself presenting. I presented a talk on "Duplication vs. Replication... What you don't know". Though the meeting was lightly attended, a lively discussion ensued, running well overtime as I detailed the substantial list of pitfalls and caveats that you never think about relating to the subject. I even touched on the Blu-ray format.

There have been requests to repeat the presentation again as many did not get sufficient warning of the meeting day so let me or Kevin know if you would like a reprise.

Kevin's presentation was very interesting, covering his January Sundance Film Festival trip. The photos he returned with included a myriad of industry shakers and Hollywood actors and were very entertaining. He also covered a subject, I never even thought about before... the only still cameras allowed on the sets of major film productions because of their stealthy, sound-related characteristics. Unfortunely, we learned that they are all discontinued models now so you can only get them as used items from Amazon.com, eBay and the like.
