Minutes of March 2003 Meeting

Thank you all who attended our blockbuster March meeting! It was constant information, and lots of inspiration! We encourage all of you in participating by bringing in your tapes. It was a great success, and we will be making it a monthly activity.
Firstly, thank you to Mr. Albert Maysles, for stopping in on us a month early! His words were very encouraging for our humble profession. For those of you who don't know how important a piece of history this man is, I urge you to check out: www.mayslesfilms.com. He will comment next month on two different event videos. He has also been given the WEVA CD for his analysis. Next month, he will be speaking indepth on his impressions of the current state of wedding videography.
Thanks also go out to our "Hindu Connection,' Prem Samaroo and Yoojishwar Singh, for an informative and colorful video presentation! We learned about some of the considerations and methodology in videotaping an Indian wedding ceremony.Well done, gentlemen.
