Next Meeting: Dec 6th

Last night's (November) meeting November was outstanding.

Thanks to Chuck Green for bringing guest speaker Ben Pender-Cudlip, a certified Apple Genius and a certifiable editing freak and cameraman. Ben gave a lecture/demonstration of his new Canon 60D HDSLR; demonstrated Color on his 17" MacBook; and shared the painstaking behind-the-scenes editing work on a recent production of Yiddish Opera at Harvard. Mazeltov, indeed.

Food was in abundance. Grape leaves from Brian Henderson; Halloween candy from Chuck Rosina; Chocolate ice cream from Brian Galford; Bean salad from Chuck Green; Spicy chicken wings from Mike Yip; Fruit Salad from Robert Beinhocker; Chocolate cupcakes from (?); plus hummus/chips; roasted chicken, etc.

Roberto demo'd the new group blog site

In the studio, Mike Yip brought in a clip on the making of linen in the EU, from flax to racks. Group critique ensued, regarding color, depth of field, etc. Chuck Green showed clips from a fire-dancing client video. Roberto previewed two observational pieces from his current round of museum installations, previewed an upcoming Roberto & Kathryn music video and showed the latest Berklee College video that several club members shot video/audio for.

The general talk was about all the exciting new camera choices this week...including the Panasonic AF-100; the brand new Sony PMW F3; the Canon range; etc.

Brian Henderson shared fun and artsy stills from his recent trip to China. Wow.

    I've been able to read articles posted here....and yes I can comment...
    but duh!
    Roberto made it look so easy to upload stuff. I wanted to share some audio that I didn't get to share at our last meeting....
    I seem to be missing something.
    Anyway, I have to go out and do a recording for Veterans Day now, so I'll try again later this eve.
    Cyber-lame Chuck
