Your cheese got moved. In fact, everyone old in the biz has had their cheese constantly moved since the advent of digital, DSLR and all this free DIY stuff. Got to find some new cheese. Every morning I wake up and look for where the new cheese is!

Hey Bob,
Not sure what you mean. What part of your business is affected by young free kids doing DIY? Need clarification.
Best,
Ned

Contact Liz Sweeney of Global Video in Chicago, they do 3/4″.
However, be prepared for a lot of drop outs with old tapes that were not annually exercised.

I was hoping to show it to my class of TV/Film students
I strongly suggest you show it to your best contact in HR and get their OK before you show it to students in 2016. As someone who has produced a few Sexual Harassment training videos, I feel if you show that to today’s sensitive kids, you will be fired immediately, or the next week.
Really.
Good luck,
Ned

I think this is a question best asked on Creative Cow’s post centric forums. There’s 3 good ones where i’ve seen this question asked:
• FCPX
• Avid
• PremiereThere’s real gurus there especially if you can ask Shane Ross who does mainly network TV shows so he handles mucho TBs.
Best of luck,
Ned

At 8:15AM I emailed you about a Chicago composer who also creates royalty free:

Ask everyone you know: Are you using an ad blocker?
I know I always have, which is why I don’t see the ads.

Exactly what Todd said above. Here’s a couple other items:
• Some very large companies want me to use their stock footage and royalty free music memberships because they want to be the “rights holder on record of the license.” They are very concerned about being sued, in fact, I sometimes have to sign a contract with them that I will be the one responsible if there is a rights problem, and that scares me, so I’m fine by using their membership plus there’s no arguing about the cost of stock later.
• When they say their previous producers did not charge, to me that means they buried it in the overall estimate. An example would be if the producers have a yearly membership to a source like Pond 5, the all you can eat buffet, they may just bump the estimate up a couple of hundred to cover it, as in: “You can have any stock and music you desire as long as it’s from Pond 5”. Some clients enjoy helping in the search, makes them feel they’re having a creative input.
I have noticed while walking around conventions and trade shows during my down time that there is a trend towards stock only videos with heavy text treatment for corporate videos, catchy eye candy that works with no audio. Not good for a live action shooter such as myself.

Here’s a podcast with everything about the ACA you need to know, two experts interviewed, apolitical, from five days ago.
https://whyy.org/cms/radiotimes/2016/06/01/the-latest-on-the-affordable-care-act/
I forgot to mention and maybe this will educate some, I will be going on Medicare 7/18 and my private BCBS premiums will go from $1060 a month down to $350, so that’s a savings of $8520 which is a very significant savings! I had thought I may need to go onto the ACA for a few years and my research showed that if something very bad occurred health wise, I could lose a lot of money. A lot! The premiums would be less but not all the other expenses. Now looking forward the real danger is Long Term Care insurance which is now unaffordable. So all you forum members: Keep yourself healthy!
