Hi Mark,

Thanks for the advice, but they specifically requested that we record the PPT screen and audio feed for the full conference. I typically do that with a Mini DV camera , but they want a digital file, shot in SD

Erin,

Just write down a description of the video. Include the following:

Approximate Length
What you’ll provide them
What will be included in the edit (Voice narration, music cuts, animations, graphic titles)
Number of revisions that you’ll do for free.
Format of the final version
The total cost.

Then make sure you specify that the final video will be delivered once you receive full payment of all balances due.

Make sure you attach an agreement to the proposal and have them sign it and initial each page of your proposal.

I agree Mark!! While we’re here, I wonder how a video like this is created. It’s not a high speed drawing of pictures. (because his magic pen wouldn’t draw black and blue images)

Any idea how to create these type of videos? I think they are an interesting creative way to communicate ideas.

Hi Steve,

Periodically we shoot in the Orlando area. Can you give me an idea of your rates and do you have a demo reel?

Please feel free to email me at greg@ballmediainnovations.com

We’re located in South Florida, so if you ever have a need down here, we can help.

Thanks all.

I’m looking for a very specific story or set of stories regarding child abductions or Children being left in cars. Perhaps a lost child. It’s for a promo video for a client’s new product.

I’ve looked at video monitoring services, but I may try CNN News source. Any other thoughts?

Are you sure you’re not using HD DVD Settings? What settings are you using in both Compressor and DVDSP?

[Greg Ball]

I use World Communications Link. I’ve used them for over 20 years now. They have great crews around the country and the world. Feel free to email me offline, and I’ll give you more details.

HI Jerry,

Yes it’s all set up properly. As a matter of fact the first cut works original angle keeps the green audio frame, but after that cut both the blue and green boxes move with each mouse click.
