It's hard to beleive there is another new feature...that's two in the last week!
It's a small feature but very useful...especially if you are using the new Demo Video Service with your SOA Profile.
Members can now automatically send emails to prospective clients with a direct link to your SOA Profile and Demo Video! To access this feature just login to your Member Account and you will see this new option in the Main Controls. Just enter an email address and SOA will automatically send them a personalized invite with a direct link to your SOA Profile and Demo Video.
I hope you guys will check this feature out. Right now we have a couple of members who have already established profiles with reels.
Here are two of them check them out and let us know what you think.

Hey all, I hope you had a great holiday. We have some great news concerning the SOA site. We have just launched our NEW Demo Reel Service that enables you to upload your Demo Reel in Quicktime or Windows Media format to stream from your SOA Profile. Now directors and producers searching the SOA database can not only find your contact info but they can also view your work!
Some Quick Features & Benefits:
-Your Demo Reel will be available for viewing online 24 hours a day.
-Cheaper and easier than dubbing and shipping reels to potential clients.
-Great if you don't have a website to host your own demo or if your website doesn't have the proper bandwidth.
-You can change your demo reel at anytime.
Add this feature to your SOA Profile for $87.50 per year. This is almost half the cost of some other Demo Real Hosting Services out there on the internet. If you don't have your Demo Reel in a web format we also offer a very affordable encoding service.
We hope you guys check this feature out. If you have any question please don't hesitate to contact us.

We should all knock on wood after this poll.

As you can see things have changed at the SOA workshops. The "test shot" is a lot longer now thanks to Ruben. LOL. Looks great Ruben, thanks for letting us use it on the site.

I bet I have close to 200 cables, this is including spares ofcourse. Jeez, I don't know maybe more maybe less. I will count them sometime. Now I'm curious. :unsure:
-
Cam cables??? Camera run cables? You need to be a little more specific.

Eric,
I believe the 1 post you are referring to was not in the classified section of this forum. Notice this one is. If you look back at that post I believe Peter also said there was a place for post of that nature. Followed by smiley faces.
"And this had.........................what to do with the topic of this thread? Advertisements are best handled in the Classifieds."
Did I miss the post that made you moderator of this forum? We could talk to Tim if you like maybe he is looking.

Terrible form in that picture! :P

Shameless Clayton, just shameless!

I second that high review of Peter's tally system. Use it everyday, works very very well.

Here we go again!

I recently watched the movie "Elephant", directed by Gus Van Zandt (sp)? Tons of steadicam. The movie was a bit slow, but I would say it was like 80 to 90 percent steadicam.

Greetings to all the SOA members. I would just like to remind everybody who is a SOA member to check their email for an invite sent from us and some friends. Please reply to it, I think you all will be very happy.

I have that cart that TJ talked about. I love it! The thing is virtually indestructable, plenty of room. I highly recommend it.

I NEED MORE COW BELL!
David, I love that avitar. I have that skit on TIVO, I nearly pee myself everytime I watch it.
-
Great to see that this site and community did exactly what it was intended to do. David, bravo on not letting other people's classification of you as a "newbie" (I hate that term) get in your way.
Jay
P.S. I help train David at our last workshop, I feel so proud! ;)

Ben,
Is the board still available? I have been having some tube issues myself. I would love to correct it for good.

Gerry feel free to post your equipment on the SOA site. We have a classified section that many ops frequently check in on. www.steadicam-ops.com
Good Luck

Believe me I am not riled(sp?) in the least bit. I just wanted to let you know you offended someone(me) and maybe others. To take a page from your book, "Are you trying to censor me from speaking my mind?" Maybe you are right, this site may need a monitor, wait wouldn't that be censorship?
Those things you listed were advantages, no? And the things I listed were too, right? I think we just sent out an email about Skycam training right? By the way not sponsored by the SOA. There is a "blurb" about a workshop in Austrailia on the site, which has been mentioned in past newsletters. This also not sponsored by the SOA.
Also we don't feel that sending current ops emails about upcoming workshops a waste. Any op who has taken the workshop more than once will tell you, they either relearn or learn something new each time.
This whole thing has become ridiculus. I am sorry to say that by me posting this it has become even more ridiculus.

So Matt to give you my response to your question. You list your info on our site hopefully you can get some references for work from our site.
Since Michael has already discussed some adavntages I'll let you know of some of the others. We can put you in touch with other operators in your area. We offer some rental equipment. We can also refer you to places or people to get other equipment. If you have any other questions Matt feel free to contact us anytime.
Sorry for wasting everyone else time with that other nonsense.
Marc thanks for your kind comments.

You know what you're right. I knew as I posted my original post I shouldn't even get involved. Now it is blown out of proportion (like a lot of things in this forum) with talk of censorship and what not. You did say that those were the advantages, however negatively you spun it, it is what you said. I am sorry for the confusion. I'll talk with Mike, Garrett and Jerry maybe we can get you a refund.
-
Not a threat at all. Please. I just wanted him to know that people who are involved, at all levels of running the SOA, frequent this site. There is no need to bad mouth anyone or anyones group.
I'm sure it's obvious, but I'm involved with running the SOA and I took offense to Michael's comments. There are others who are more depply involved and others that created the SOA that wouldn't appreciate the comments either. That's all, not a threat in the least bit.

Michael it is an association, hence the name Steadicam Operators Association.
There are no questions asked because why would someone want to join if they are not an operator.
There are a couple of advantages to being a member. You get listed in the largest online database of operators worldwide. You can list your personal and professional information. People looking for operators can access this info by region. I personally have been contacted a number of times by production crews looking for an operator. I have also used the database when looking for an op in different areas of the country. You also receive emails concerning the SOA events and workshops.
Michael people like myself put a lot of time and energy into maintaining, updating and running the SOA. Since this forum is loosely connected to the SOA, you might want to think about what you say here.
Just out of curiousity if you dont think there is any advantages to being a member, why are you one?
