After my first video test shoot with my Canon 5D2, I realized what an incredible artistic tool this camera truly is! There are many DSLRs out there, but the 5D Mark II has strengths that put it in a class all it's own!  It's no wonder that it's getting serious industry attention! The goal of this group, is to bring together Canon 5D Mark II owners and users (along with anyone interested in learning about this fantastic camera) to share information, tips and ideas, in a positive and relaxed envi …

The goal of this meetup group is to become better filmmakers and actors. You can only learn so much about filmmaking from reading books (which is helpful in its own right), or going to film school (very expensive/time intensive)... but the best way is improve as a filmmaker and actor is to get involved in the whole process numerous times (Director Robert Rodriguez made thirty shorts before making his first full length feature, El Mariachi ). It is our hope that by repeatedly making good little f …

This group is intended for those who have some "experience" with movie making. It is not intended for professionals but for those who have the camera (video or DSLR) and want to be involved in the planning, writing, shooting, editing, and music production necessary to end up with both a personal and a group film. This is not a group for those who have no concept of movie making. Meetups will be in very small groups at my home, on location, or at other venues.

We're a group of professional videographers, photographers, and filmmakers who meet the fourth Monday of the month at the offices of StudentFilmmakers (1123 Broadway @ 25th Street) 6:30 - 10 p.m. We bring in speakers on topics ranging from marketing to camera control to editing techniques. Meetings are a great networking opportunity where members can (and do !) hire one another for various projects.
