Does anyone have recommendations of easy places to film content and or to help with filming? I’m not talking about anything fancy, but I really struggle doing it myself in terms of lighting and just making it not look like crap.

Here's a nerdy probably common question - for those of you who go to the city regularly and do overnights, have you found any good regular hotels especially in Manhattan? Before pandemic, we had a regular place for consistency on LES, good rate, could leave a bag, provided some consistency. Went out of biz. Now i'm going regularly and back to chaos of trying places and points and it's misery. Trying various neighborhoods, have tried to stick with Marriott brands but don't feel it's sustainable or enjoyable.

Hey everyone! Over the weekend, I designed and built a manifesto (the artistic kind, not the creepy kind) for ConnectHV — basically a vision statement and list of principles for supporting and growing our local creative community.
This is one of my favorite things I've ever designed, and I'd appreciate your thoughts and feedback. (Also, very happy with all the video on the page... I tried to go for the early-2010s art-directed single-page site vibe).
Check it out!

Hi all, happy to see this community exists, thought I’d introduce myself!
I’m a freelance video and photo producer / strategist with 10 years’ experience in production and editing. I currently specialize in content production for nonprofits and ethical businesses and teach a little on the side.
I realize this is a more tech-centered community, so I would love to collaborate with anyone involved in green energy / tech in the region, but I work with a wide range of clients and would welcome collaborations of any sort.
I’m based in Kingston if anyone would like to connect directly; I generally have a hard time making it out to the networking events.
More at moonbowimaging.com if you’re interested. Cheers!

Sharing this here. I'm a board member at O+ Festival and yesterday they announced the first 10+ artists for their 2024 event, October 11-13th in Kingston.
O+ is an organization that provides complimentary healthcare/wellness in exchange for art/music. The festival in October is their biggest fundraiser of the year. They went from providing care 3 days a year to 365 days per year in 2024. And this year's event is the start of raising money to buy the organization a building so we can expand those services.
You can make a donation for a wristband that gets you into everything during O+ weekend here: https://opositivefestival.org/wristbands/

hey the online directory onboarding process is a little glitchy. not sure if there is a remedy but you have to add your tags and uploads several times and in different ways to get them to stick. i managed the profile pic but only from the desktop, same thing with tags. Gave up on the header image after many tries. just wanted to alert. It could be me but im usually a good navigator of this stuff. Anyway thanks for doing all this!
