Thanks, looks like I found some helpful attorney now, I will report my case here. I think David Giancola has started his business again, so if one thinks that it is a good idea, please call him and ask about my camera - where it is. He hangs up the phone wen I call, so maybe someone will have more luck than me?

what is the "local clerk office" ? kind of sheriff or what? I published the whole story here: http://web.me.com/pawel.saladziak/Beware_of_David_Giancola/ all details are there,first page is brief description, if one need more, then should download 15 pages .PDF and .ZIP file that includes our email history, sworn-translated bank certificates and more... screenshots from ebay messaging system etc... simply - only facts. If anyone is interested in helping me - please contact me, currently I am looking for an attorney that would fill my claim in Superior Court in Rutland, looks like one by one attorneys do not want to represent me because of interest conflict.

Bad feeling, as the camera was paid by my Ltd company and is our cost, duties are small, and we are able to have them lowered in Poland, close to nothing. I was to pick up the camera in person to be assured that it is in fully working order. Right now I received quite reliable information that make me 95% sure that Mr. David Giancola is lying to me, and pretends that Edgewood is bankrupt, they may be close to bankruptcy but Rutland authorities claims Giancola has not filed for it. When asked for contact details of bank officer that is responsible for taking over my camera he pointed me to a man that I was not able to find and is unknown in bank pointed by Giancola, he also gave false e-mail address to people interested in helping me. Stopped picking up the phone, answer sms, e-mail... etc. But I am still having hope for this 5% to become the real truth. Hope never dies :)

Its illegal for me to get to US without visa, so I had to wait.

Dear Hal, thank you very much - this is the advice that I was waiting. To update you and other colleagues I can add the following facts: 1. I used the "Buy It Now" option to block the sale and emailed (via ebay messaging system) the seller of the ebay action - no result in contacting him. In the auction's description he claims to be Mr. Jeremy Hanson C.C.S. (I do not know these three last letters mean) Below is my message body (edgemovie is the seller's name and littlesword is my company's name): "Welcome edgemovie, You are trying to sell my camera. I paid for this camera 7549USD to mr. Giancola. He confirmed money being received on 10th of august 2010 - and I have proofs of money being wired to Edgewood's account. Because of some circumstances I was unable to fly to US to pick up the camera. And now I see it is listed on ebay!!! Please give your phone numebr as I need to call you and discuss how and when can I pick up the camera that is already mine. - littlesword2010 I was hoping for ANY kind of reply - even the one that I need to pay some money or something. I received NO REPLY, instead of reply I also received a message form ebay messaging system that seller wants to cancel the transaction as in his opinion I clicked buy it now by an accident. I do not want to accuse anyone but lack of contact looks like bad will on the other side. 2. I found on facebook man Called Jeremy Jackson currently he is in Vermont (15km from Vermont exactly). He is the only person that I found on internet named Jeremy Jackson and located in Vermont. What more, his age (there are photos there) similar to the age of the Jeremy Jackson from Edgewood that I was talking to via phone several times (David Giancolas secretary assitant or similar position in the company). I sent him a message asking to contact me - no result, but I see that he posts messages to his board on Facebook all the time. I think he is "my Jeremy" as he changed recently his phone number and that fits to the fact that Jeremy Jackson from Edgewood changed his cell number too. When I called his number that I got from his email I only hear his voice mail leaving his new number. No answers on new number. 3. Pictures used in ebay listing are the same pictures that David Giancola sent me to describe the camera before the initial payment. I have 2 questions in my mind: 1. I have documents proofing that I paid for the camera (bank certificates for wire transfers) and also I have an email from David Giancola that he received full amount of money (and that I will have to pay the state tax while picking the camera in Edgewood). I do not know American law, but in Poland - if one can provide authorities with documents ensuring them that he paid for the item then in terms of law he is the owner of the item. Is it the same or similar in US, paticulary in Vermont? 2. I saw that there is Jeremy Jackson's father's profile on Facebook. Is it a good practice to contact him privately and ask if Jeremy is the person that worked in Edgewood and asking him for contact details? best regards Pawel

Dear Colleagues, I need help, advices what to do. I am located in Poland (Europe) independent producer. In August 2010 I payed 7549$ for the camera that I bought from Mr David Giancola (formerly president of Edgewood Studios in Rutland VT), payment was done in parts, all were documented wire transfers to Edgewood's account . Due to some circumstances (visa, and scheduled jobs) I could not fly to US to pick up the camera immediately. 8 months has passed and while I was looking for some BNCR optics on e-bay I spotted my camera! http://cgi.ebay.com/CP-Cinema-Products-XR-35-Studio-Techniscope-Camera-MINT-/130506028815 It was offered by user named edgemovie. I called Edgewood and some guy that was in the building informed me that company goods were taken over by some bank. Then I clicked Buy it now of course as I wanted to prevent camera being sold for the second time. I cannot contact anyone from Edgewood Studios. I do not know what to do, I want to get in touch with person/company who is in possession of my camera. Could anyone help me, give advice what to do? Is there any official way i could proceed? Claim anything to someone? best regards Pawel

Maybe you could contact RED too, maybe they have some way for disabling the cameras or finding them by software updates or so... who knows? best regards Pawel

Could you send me contact phone to Ken Stone? I am to receive Cinema Products CP35XR camera and the previous owner says that Ken is the best person to work on modification of the camera. my email is: pawel.saladziak@mac.com thanks

Nice to meet you here David :)

Hi, do you want to sell it? If so then please contact me at pawel.saladziak@mac.com best regards pawel

Hi. I would like to buy it. Could you contact me off-list? my email is: pawel.saladziak@mac.com best regards Pawel

Hey Paul. The project is going well. I have very nice working scanner here. (see this link: http://gallery.me.com/pawel.saladziak#1000...p;bgcolor=black , it was in my apartment then, now I have moved with al the machinery to my private small lab). Here you can see the very first scan's preview: http://gallery.me.com/pawel.saladziak#1000...p;bgcolor=black Currently I am in the beginning of preparing the professional demo-reel for low cost & high quality scanning services. But i have a doubt - and that is where my question come from. I have scanning software that has presets for some older kodak stocks including Vision first generation stock. I have an opportunity to get the setting files for latest stock together with test strip etc... but it costs of course, and currently I do not have space in budget for this. But IF the differences in color recording on Vision2 and 3 versus Vision are noticeable, then well maybe I should really look for money to get these newest stock settings. The man that offers me this upgrade claims that this will move cineon scanner to the same quality of color reproduction that you have with new generation scanners. So that is why I am asking. Maybe it will be worth to cut down some useless expenses (like food for example :lol: ) for several weeks to enlarge my post production tool budget.... best regards Pawel

Hi. I am looking forward some information about the differences (or maybe some comparison table) between Vision, Vision2 and Vision3 in term of color reproduction. Particularly if new generation stocks has better color reproduction than earlier version or it is just the getting the grain smaller and smaller from generation to generation? best regards Pawel
