[Dane Henson <dane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to be involved with this collaboration.  My equipment:
Canon T2i
50mm 1.4
17-40mm 4.0L
28mm 1.8
Monopod
Tripod

I could take some stock footage of Dallas/Fort Worth or film my beautiful
wife using elementary on our laptop or desktop computer.  I have experience
using Dmedia and novacut (though a toddler could use it) and I would love
to test the collaborative features.

I also have a Tascam portable digital audio recorder that I could use for
interviews, though I doubt anyone is close enough to Texas for it.

I realize that there are a lot of people way more qualified than me, but I
thought I would raise my hand. My experience is as a hobbyist doing family
videos.  Here is the sum of my work:
