I got a weird email today... Maybe it's just a bit of spam advertising, but a few things struck me as being a bit weird - like the part about them helping testing going back a few years... It just sounds a bit like a scam.
Dear Stephen,
My name is James Mathers, President and Cofounder of the international educational cooperative known as the Digital Cinema Society. In case you are not familiar with our efforts, I would like to tell you a little about the Society with an open invitation to join us. I thought the group may be of particular interest to you, since we have been very active in the rollout of the RED camera. I was involved in early testing going back a couple of years, and will be getting one of the first cameras out of the gate, (#30), with which I will begin a series of test shoots open for participation to all our members.
Created to address the information needs of producers, directors, cinematographers, postproduction specialists, and exhibitors, this nonprofit organization is open for membership to all entertainment industry professionals. The Society’s purpose is not to advocate for digital, but to objectively examine all media, solutions, services, and technologies without favoring any one brand, service, or format over another.
Membership now numbers over 2,500 industry professionals who are taking advantage of our benefits like the eNewsletter, professional discounts, and access to our members site with streaming educational content and news of the latest developments in the field of Digital Cinema.
We regularly schedule educational events which we tape and stream from our website. Our library of streaming “Knowledge On Demand” now includes presentations of new equipment like the RED One, Phantom 2K & 4K, Dalsa Origin & Evolution, Panavision's Genesis, Arri D-20, Sony F23 & XDcam HD, Panasonic HDX900 & HDX3000, Silicon Optics SI2, all the small format HD camera systems, and panel discussions on subjects such as HD Desktop Editing, Look Management, The Role of the Digital Imaging Technician, Underwater Cinematography, 4K for Production, Post, & Projection, Sound Recording for Digital Image Capture, Digital Storage Solutions for Production & Post, Metadata, What's New From NAB 05, 06, & 07, as well as excerpts from our documentary, Digital Cinema Solutions.
Please take a few minutes to check us out, visit the sign up page, and be added to our roster. I would appreciate your joining the group, so please be my guest to a complimentary membership, or if you would like to support what we are about, use the regular sign up link to pay the $30.00 dues/initiation fee; either way, we will be happy to activate your membership.
