HD For Indies

Digital Video Expo : Home

DV Expo is a prosumer grade show - not really geared for feature production, but video production, but lots of good stuff to get you started if you're a beginner. They have classes running Nov. 12-17, Conference tracks running 14-17, and an expo the 15-17th. The only drag is that the expo doesn't open until noon the first two days, so I will have to rearrange my travel to see any of it. Some of the exhibitors of interest showing will be:

AJA, 16x9, ARRI, Automatic Duck, Bogen, CalDigit, Canon, Avid, Canopus, Digital Anarchy, Digital Cinematography, Flip4Mac, GenArts, Gridiron, JVC, Kon Flo, LaCie, NewTek, Panasonic, ProMax, Re:Vision Effects, Serious Magic, Sony, Sorenson, Telestream, VASST, and others.

Yeah, I should stay an extra day in LA and check this out (I'm flying out for the Red 4K screening on the 14th). As usual, I'm available for consulting while I'm out there, if you'd like to meet to discuss projects or studio setups or how to set up for a Red One workflow, email me at mike at hdforindies d0t com.

ALSO there will be a meeting of the LA Final Cut Pro User Group at 7pm on the 15th. Ted Schilowitz from Red, Steve Bayes (product manager of Final Cut Pro), Ben Aein from Red Lightning Software will demo the brand new “DV Monitor,” and filmmaker Mike Goubeaux who will show his award winning music video, "Trains."

A raffle with prizes totaling over $10,000 will wrap up the evening.
