if that no worky, set an in and out with plenty of handles and do a quick video mixdown.
You can then use that as a raw clip and apply speed effects/changes. -
Your specialty will always be why folks come to you, not the place down the road.
That said, my specialty these days IS a turn-key production as a one man band. While this sounds like a generalist or a jack of all trades, it’s not looked at such by folks with a budget who need a video by Friday. My ability to quote a flat fee for that video by friday is now my selling point. -
He’s a cool dude. He’s the Pringles guy, if you didn’t know.
Not much to the show, really. They just go from car show to car show having dudes tell him about their modifications. While it’s much like watching paint dry, he did manage to get it on Speed for a while which is more than I have been able to do. He made an appearence in my Volume One DVD about 5 years ago. He’s changed production companies a couple of times but that’s how he was able to get to Speed… through a company that already had in roads.
Most of BD’s shows use the same template, if you wanna call it that. While my show’s appeal is that is totally improvised, this, so far, has also been what sends agents and networks running. -
Anything that traps moisture is not a good idea. On the shelf in their cases is much better.
Today a cheap firewire drive is your best bet. -

Hi, Mike.
While there are many car enthusiasts shows, both on the web and on cable, there is no show shot in first-person like Moddin’ Art. I have prominant channels on sites like StreetFire.net, WebRidesTV, youtube, vimeo, ect and the show has been featured, listed and mentioned in several car enthusiast magazines. These just promote the site and move a few DVDs though. The DVDs are just business cards for the show, in my eyes. I lose money on those as I make em one at a time and have more than what I sell em for in em by the time I ship em. I never wanted to be in the DVD sellin’ business.
SPEED shows intrest in the show and has allowed me to pitch it 5 different times but they have passed on it each time then added a new show with a guy with a camcorder each time. lol This has been my weakness… handing show concepts away due to signing a submission release and pitching without representation. I never picked up an agent for this show as it’s such a nitche market in their eyes that they themselves would have to be an enthusiast to get the selling point of this show… and that’s it’s first-person perspective.
I managed to get a few nibbles as result of offering it up as a package. Looks like I’ll get to keep ownership. I like that. I’ve literally been shooting this one since 1987. -
You can imagine it but we all like to imagine great benefits from any arm of Avid these days. Deep down, I think we all know it’s just wishful thinking at this point.

You will find the streaming defaults in sorenson squeeze have much better results than Avid’s export settings.
Throw a reference file in there and check it out. You’ll quickly find the one that best suits your needs.
Outside of that, man these days vimeo is freakin’ fine more oftent han not. On that note, you’ll not find a better online video host than right here at the cow. Throw an uncompressed QT this way and then play it once it’s encoded and tell me what ya think. Very clean. Mucho grande. -
I always made it a point to put my resume on tie-dyed paper and show up in my comfy clothes for the interview. This way, we were on the same page as I interviewed them. And I WAS the one interviewing them. They already wanted me or I’d not be there interviewing. What I needed to know was “is this a place I wanna spend most of my waking hours?”
I found most employers loved this. All of the ones I wanted to hang with did, anyway and it was a very simple way to weed out the places I would have been very temporary at.
Dress codes are for places with power trips or clientele with power trips. Artists need to be comfy. It’s that simple to me.
A suit?
Not even at funerals, man.
