About the founder
DVuser was founded in September 2004 by UK based video producer Nigel Cooper, who felt that the UK was lacking a good UK based “Digital Media Internet Community/ Online Interactive DV Magazine” with resources in abundance to educate, inform and to help keep the British independent video production and filmmaking industry moving forward.
