Video and film production resources:  (I've included the web addresses in case someone wanted to print this list - like any other information, please check any business out before buying). 

If it makes any difference, I usually buy most of my equipment from Sunray, K5600, DTC, Production Advantage, Barbizon, B&H, Filmtools, Modern, Matthews, and Norms. I use Sunray, K5600, and DN Labs HMI units, I have recently ordered a number of Flouro units from FloLight (Prompterpeole.com),  and if I was starting out in filmmaking, I would go to the Ron Dexter and Adam Wilt websites.  I love my Premier Studio Dolly, and I am amazed that their new PD1 dolly hasn't caught fire in the industry, and I think the Chinese will probably put a number of American companies out of business in the next couple of years with their improved direct sales models and costs - if the US companies don't adapt. Basically, you can find similar grip & lighting units from China a lot cheaper than the US models, and you don't have to pay a "dealer" to buy the product - so they have streamlined the buying process.  Anyway, if you have a link for equipment or a production resource, drop me an email and we'll include it here.  Any opinions are my own, and you should investigate for yourself. I think the industry should share as much as we can...

I've put up a VOIP page. A great new tech for people who travel.
