If your just using loops to build audio backgrounds for TV spots,
then why not just buy some new loops and load them into Soundtrack.
As an example, M-Audio Pro Session Loop libraries, and Sonic Foundry Loops for Acid both work with your current software. -
If just you are going to be using the gear, then charge what you always do.
What does it matter what location your gear is at.
Like you said, your not renting the gear to him. -
You don’t mention which deck or monitor you are using.
Does the monitor need termination turned on?
Does the deck need a Sync or black burst signal? -
Will only you be editing, or will he be editing as well?

Have to agree, BTV Pro.

What snide remarks?
He asked for the best “camera” to use to get film look.
So I simply told him that to get the Best film look, use a film camera.IMHO, there is a big misconception as to what film looks like.
Many young shooters think that by having a shallow depth of field,
or by shooting with a 24p DV camera that this is the magic film look.
Sorry, it doesn’t work that way.Not too long ago I had a young self proclaimed movie producer come by to check out what “film look” I had.
So I showed him the Arri 35BL and Eclair CM3, and he said… Oh, I was talking about with the computer…
I told him that we had Cinelook, Magic Bullet, Nattress, and asked him what particular style or look he was after.
He said… you know film look… I said can you narrow it down and maybe pick something that you want to look like, for example do you want your project to look like Gone With The Wind, The Matrix, The Brady Bunch, Gilligan’s Island.
He said… Oh right, Gilligan’s Island and The Brady Bunch are TV shows.
Yes they are… I replied, but they were shot on film.
Then he said… They don’t look like film!So my big question for those of you out there that are after a “Film Look” is…
What does film look like? -
It’s hard to suggest equipment when #1, we have no clue as to what equipment you already have.
And #2, we have no clue as to the other services you intend to offer.Example, are you wanting to add duplication services, or offer multi camera shoots?
Or are you wanting to upgrade from your current camera to a more professional one?
Also what is your budget? -
“whats the best way to go about this?”
The best way to get the look of 35mm film, is to use a 35mm camera and shoot film.
