Hello World Citizens
I will be purchasing an Epic when Red ships me the Canon mount I ordered. As a long time still photographer I have collected a bag full of quality lenses that will be repurposed into my next venture of mixed media and film making.
In thinking through this major investment I have visited many forums and came away with a similar feeling: most of the discussion revolved around the "us vs them" theme arguing specs 'n such with little energy devoted to content quality, story telling much less contributing something back.
Unless I missing it, there seems to be missing a dedicated Forum where a guy like me could offer my time and pro equipment to help produce those little stories that need to be told. So much attention is paid to celebrity and fashion anymore - I would love to be involved in something meaningful and of substance that helps communicate an issue, to raise awareness which spurs good people into action.
The Pro Bono Forum could be a marketplace of resources and needs. Kind like Kickstarter.com without money exchange whereby projects can be posted with a list of production needs listed and a sign-up method for each. How cool would it be to contribute your time, knowledge, Red equipment and passion to those in need . . . right in your own community.
Who is with me on this and how do we start?
