Not sure that would discourage groups of kids either. Way back when while I was in the Marines, one day, at the end of the day, I was the only one with a vehicle (a small 4-cylender pick-up) to get from our duty site back to the barracks….ended up with nineteen Marines in that truck….five of us in the cab. Oh by the way it was a stick shift which made things very interesting! I think they were three deep in the back. Only did it once, won’t ever do it again, hopefully the OP’s kid is smarter than I was!

You might check out score.org. (Service Corp Of Retired Executives) They are affiliated with the SBA and have both classes and counseling to help people with business plans.
Good luck,

I worked for a small gov. access station. We did a “Cops” style show with the local Sherrif’s department. A Deputy had stopped a couple of guys one night for public intox. I and the Deputy I was riding with responded as backup. We had to walk across a wooden foot bridge over a creek to get to where the other Deputy was, I thought I was directly behind ‘my’ Deputy but as I was taping and looking through the lens (not paying attention to anything else) I was actually a few inches to the side….and walked directly into the hole in the bridge.
I threw out my left arm to try to catch myself, and managed to hang on….just long enough to go from vertical to horizontal….then dropped into the water. Fortunately it was only about a foot deep but I landed right side (and camera) first. I instantly sat up and shut off the camera, then yanked the battery as I saw electrical ‘sparks’ in the viewfinder while simultaneously trying to catch my breath and answer the Deputy who was calling my name to see if I was ok. All of this was instinctive, the only thing I can remember registering at the time was one of the drunks saying sympathetically over and over, “oh dude! Oh man!” and me thinking ‘great, I’m getting sympathy from a drunk!’.
The end results? The drunks got to go home as they were no longer the most important thing on the Deputy’s minds, I had a bruise from my wrist to my armpit on my left arm, a 10-inch bruise on my right butt cheek and the camera was fine except for a couple of drops of water in the lens. (Had to send it out to get cleaned).
Something to look back on and laugh but could have been a LOT worse.
mental note….pay attention to your surroundings!

“I’m trying to think how you could make large green thumbprints really stand out on all these objects”
It’s been done before but works, mute the color on everything else in the shot. Have the green thumb be the only thing that is full color. When you follow the thumbs through the house, have it end at a catalog for Nanticoke Gardens also be in full color.
Good luck,

A different twist to the question….as managers/owners of production companies, which would you prefer when looking to hire new employees? A dvd reel or website?

Gotta say I’m surprised that no one mentioned these Cow forums: JOBS Offered – Low/No Pay
JOBS WantedSeems like it might be a good place to start.

I would like to see just how they plan on “making Georgia more economically competitive.” While restricting how many people can compete.

Only thing I can think of to add is be prepared to walk away if the deal isn’t right for you.
Very cool concept…Survivorman meets Bill Nye.

Lol, that’s one reason why I bought FCP for myself.
