    Just bring these elements in as different layrs so you can animate them indevidually.
    AE will give you more options and if you look around, man you can find snazzy lil plugins that’ll allow you to attach a wave file to your lip/moth layer and it’ll primitavly animate to those peaks and vallies, allowing you to just add some emphatic keyframes. This keeps it creative where as lip syncing manually is mondane.

    as a hirer, I admit I’d rather get the email. It’s jst a delete away whereas the call is an interuption.
    That said, as a job-seeker, I do know i’ll have to interupt somebody to get their attention. Standing in line for it will just make ya stand in line.
    I’m saying if yu want… ask or demand. I woundt mess around with emails to do either of those.

    I’m a romantic, man. Id so love to tell you that I am of the belief that my clients come to me because they think I’m a rightous dude.
    This is why they tell their bosses where they want to go though.
    I bill hours because I have adjusted many things to adhere to an ever-changing market. Most of these changes were not my idea but my requirement to stay afloat. dats da bare bones troof, man.
    I have a rate thats impossible to ignore in this market, well below any other place with comparable gear and talent. I have an approach unlike any other. That confidence I mentioned earlier, I am still of the opinion, is key to success. Bottom line, at least for me is if I don’t know it, aint nobody else gonna believe it.
    I’m no sales person. My clients are my sales team.

    my clients come back because they can’t get what I offer anywhere else.
    I love story-telling, I’m good with graphics, I have the self-tenasity to never miss a deadline and I’m affordable.
    They like the peace of mind of knowing the project is going to be the best it can be nefore even dropping it off. This is what they purchase from me.

    Their attire is your best defense in production. In post, we can now just change the color of the spill to the color of the attire or hair. No worries.

    they way they have set things up now, you are far better off just buying a new system from the ground up. You can use your current system for trade in if that helps the cost.
    I will most likely just keep mine as a back up or second suite. I still owe more on it than it’s currently worth.

    enjoy the stability of a real “Avid”, man.
    You’ll select SDI on your video input settings in your digitize tool.
    multicam works exactly the same.
    You won’t have firewire capabilities… thats your only drawback, if that exists. You will have all the stability ya like and you will be able to push buttons much faster as it’s actually “an avid”, not a shelf-purcahsed PC trying to keep up with some off the shelf software.
    you will dig it.
