System Details: PC - Core 2 Duo laptop and desktop. Adobe Encore, Premiere, Photoshop, Sorenson Squeeze Compression Suite. One cannot forget the useful office software, as everything starts with a written document!
Back in the old days the editing system ran on DOS 3.0 if that matters to you. It matters to me, I still have all the floppy disks with my EDL's.

Home Theater: Samsung LCD tv and upconverting DVD player. These days I watch a lot of videos online.

Home Studio Musical Gear: Does an iPod count as home musical gear? Although I took a year of guitar lessons, it didn't take.

Hobbies and Interests: Interests outside of video include photography and photo editing, fine dining and cooking and of course watching funny videos online.

Favorite Forums:

• Business & Marketing • Adobe Premiere Pro • Art of the Edit

in the Business & Marketing Forum
What I am wondering is what professors in 3D animation courses are telling their students about job prospects. 3D Animation is very broad. Find a niche, be it medical, industrial, biological or commercial. It is easier to approach potential clients with...

SD is Dead...Long Live SD

The Real World SD is far from dead. In the broadcasting world is one thing. But in the corporate world we have a way to go. Corporations cannot upgrade 2000 computers every two years. I have had clients, first ask me...
