Hey guys,
By the way, I completed my first AE project. Not exactly an award winner, but to only have the photoshop file of a poster to create a video, I’m pretty proud of myself. It worked!!! Now I need to learn how to use this really kewl software.Charlie

[Chris] “I will always recommend Keith at TriVision!! Phenominal service and cheaper prices than B&H! Who woulda thought?”
I agree totally. We bought our Vintens from Keith also, very nice guy and the service is impeccable. I got to meet him in person at NAB and will always keep him in mind for future purchases.

[Ron Lindeboom] “Charlie also said that all Dutchmen are lightweights and he was going to challenge you to a “straight up whiskeys with beer chasers” contest”
Sometime remind me to tell you the story when I was drinking beer and whiskey mixed. Quite a story, anmd I will never do that again.
And as far as picking up the tab, we will have to see what happens starting Monday when we start working for Harrah’s. Hmmmm “Harrah’s Horshoe Flamingo” has kind of a ring to it doesn’t it?

[Kevin Herrin] “Or is it still who you know more that what you know.”
Who you know helps open doors, what you know keeps them from closing again.
I look at the quality of work compared to quantity of work today. Compared to a frew years ago when I could almost name my price to any production or post house. Today there is an abundance of mediocre talented people who work for practically nothing, and since equipment is considerably cheaper more houses producing mediocre product with these mediocre talents.
It is not as easy for the truly creative person to find a hole to step into.
I often said if I had gone into this business purely for teh money I should have become a ditch digger instead. It isn’t the glamore either, it is just a pure love of the creations you turn out.Where is the work, it is still where it always was. It is all around us. We must endure until the markets finally come back to the reality that quality work comes with quality people, and the producers decide if you are going to make movies, get into the movie business, if you are going to make commercials, sell a product, don’t create a mini movie to make yourself feel important.
OK Time to get off my soap box

With me being new to After Effects, and what they say about teaching an old dog. Be prepared to put in at least a nickle or dime ocassionally.
Welcome, we need all the help we can get.

[Dave LaRonde] “Know that most broadcast football graphics packages use a TON of 3-d animation, synced with sound effects, and designed to play back over live video through a switcher from a really beefy still store.”
With everything synced by a GPI trigger from an e-mem register from the switcher. Sounds really simple doesn’t it?

Only one of many reasons I pop the record lockout when removing from machine, and never ever re-use tape. There are many other reasons for that but this is one of them.
