Greetings, BAPVA members guests, and celebrities!

The summer months are supposed to be fun, right? Well, in keeping with the summer spirit, this month we're going to combine some light hearted learning with some down to earth feedback with a Member Exhibition. I think you will all really enjoy our featured speaker this month. He has a great sense of humor and storytelling ability. For those of you new folks, a BAPVA Member Exhibition is a session in which you get to have your personal video projects shown and critiqued. Have no fear, though, the feedback is intended to be constructive and helpful, as a learning tool. So don't be shy - submit your work for viewing!

Please join us for a fun and informative evening.


First Program: The Lighter Side of Video Gadgets, Equipment Obsolescence, and Creative Problem Solving

We are honored to have Stefan Sargent with us this month. Stefan writes for DV Magazine and is a widely recognized expert in our field. He also has a great sense of humor and an endless list of entertaining stories. In his presentation, he is going to give us some examples of how to creatively deal with surprise problems that arise when shooting video. You won't believe some of the things he's done! This is sure to provide some laughs and learning.

Next, he'll show us some of his best video gadgets, how they can improve your production quality, and how to build them. Finally, he'll speak to the issue of knowing when to upgrade your equipment. Do you think you need the latest, hot camera? Think again, and come hear what Stefan has to say on the subject!

Specific subjects to be covered:

- Creative handling of those inevitable surprises we face in our daily work
- Gadgets you can build and use to boost your production value
- Equipment upgrading: knowing WHEN is the key to success
