Hi All,

Already did the ground work as well as the next step for what we talked abt. Will be sending out to you guys soon..suggest we arrange to meet sometime next week. maybe 3rd day of CNY. then can mahjong..haha

What u guys think?

Thanx
Pierce
 

somehow i got the impression here that nothing came out of it, except networking to know more friends...


first off, I think its ridiculous to call 'ourselves' motion pictures group, since SG doesn't really have a 'motion picture industry' . I mean who are we kidding here... How many of us really deals with S 35mm, wait S16 or even standard 16mm film cams on a daily basis ?

I'm sure the WEVA in US already has more people that makes whole lots of better stuff on their 2/3" EFP/ENG cams than many of us with 1/3" handycams.

start a union and get people really working in this line, then we can slowly build something like a SAG/DGA/ASC union to control and make rules to separate the pros and price them differently from hobbyist.


(p.s. : I did not mention that pros ultimately do better work than amatuers, but pros just do it for a living and amateurs might do better, if not as well, only that they have an alternate day job. We sg-rians use the term 'pros' inter-changeably with good work. which shouldn't be the case.)
 

Hi KeyserSoze,

Thanks for your comment. I suggest that you may wanna join our next gathering to further understand what we wanna achieve. As it is still too premature to annouce here the plans. But I gladly assure you that we have considered what you talked about in the first meeting.

Feel free to contact me, if you wanna talk at length...i have seperately PMed you my contact number.

Thanx
Pierce

sound great. maybe we meet at the same place?
is Cafe open during CNY?
 

I seconded Sam - Yup we should meet up more. Anyway, KeyserSoze, I guess that was only the first meeting and as icebreaker - I think its ok to network around for these few intitial meetings before we start the serious stuff.

Guys - Let me know when is the next meeting.

Pierce, I PMed u my HP no already.
