Hi Trea,
Some pretty big effects houses with the very best 3-D artists have collapsed due to no work. Schools are turning out 3-D artists every day that are willing to work for practically nothing just to get started. They are...

I've shot race cars for many years. 60i is actually the way to go with the shutter set at either 1/60 or 1/250. I would recommend that you try several different combinations, but remember that all NTSC TV is shot...

Using your files that are "ready to go", we get $750 for the HDCAM master. From there, we make the DigiBeta for $300. We then send the DigiBeta to Victory Studios Burbank and get the PAL DigiBeta made for around...

Ray,
I've heard that the world's most awesome people come from the Akron/Canton area. They are good looking, intelligent, loaded with class and absolutely, the "cream of the crop". And talent?...

Normally, when I'm having a meeting with someone and they ask me what they can get for $200, my immediate reply is to look at my watch for two seconds (while I think) and then I look them in the...
Re: CineAlta? What are benefits of it compared to DV OR similar

in the Sony F900 & PDW Series Forum
Till now, the expensive part of using the F-900 was the fact that you usually had to record to tape and then rent a deck. However, these days, there are several on-board HDDs or solid state recorders that do away...
Stop it

STOP charging by the finished minute. This was an idiotic practice from many years ago and it makes no sense. Charge by the project using any formula but that one. I guess this means that you charge $400 for a...

You should have taken a deposit of 50% and gotten a credit card number for the balance. If you don't take cards, plan on losing other business as well.
On the other hand, never trust anyone for money, unless it's...

Now THIS is insurance coverage

Got this from a highly respected entertainment insurance company. If you've bought a movie in the past 25 years, the odds are good that this company's name is in your house.

I thought this stuff was worth watching if not just to hear it from the source. I could not help but come away from it with some impressions I had not expected. Perhaps I am just dumb to not get...
