    Thanks.

    Yeah, your probably right. Just trying to think up a quick and easy weekend and evening money maker using my equipment. EX1 and all the kit. Don’t really want to get into weddings…too stressful.

    Corporate stuff I do is going very well, but very time consuming. I thought the kids party idea would be a quick shoot and hardly any editing as they probably want to see the vid with warts and all (probably the ONLY video where the client wants this 🙂

    Hi,

    As mentioned above I am using a Kensington 7 in 1 Media Card Reader for Expresscard Notepad Slot. Plus a 16GB SDHC Card (Class 6).

    Thanks

    Yes – 10 times the cost. But maybe a worthy investment.

    My EX1 is not old, so haven’t had it serviced yet. How do I update the firmware?

    I will look into the other make you mentioned.

    Touch wood this is the only occasion I have ever had a problem. I was taking a series of quick record, stop, record clips so maybe I didn’t give it enough time to write.

    It’s so expensive to but SxS cards.

    So do these (SDHC) fail more or is there a debate open on the subject?

    Thanks. Hmm, hopefully it was just 1 or 2.

    Mind put at rest thanks

    Thanks.

    Although the fact that it happened mid shot rather then when I when I put the card in is a tad worrying.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.

    It’s just going to be for the parents use in whatever way they see fit. But we will keep a master copy.

    I don’t think there is a law requiring permission, but then again I am still not clear as to whether I need (legally) signed permission to film anyone…

    Thanks

  • Hi,

    Thanks. This is a low budget product, although my ‘creative flair’ and ‘perfectionism’ has taken over and I want these extra touches rather then just fading in a picture.

    But, for future projects, what sort of cost are we talking about for an animation – taking this scope as an example to more complex projects.

  • OK. Thanks for your replies.

    Budget is tight enough for me to look for a template, so we’re talking $45-$50.

    The project is several interviews (no cutaways), so I need to be very inventive on how I meld the interviews together and introduce still product pictures.

    It’s complicated further because each segment of the showreel is about a specific product, for which I only have one interviewee, so cannot cut between interviews as I would normally.

    Hopefully that explains in a bit more detail?

    Timeframe is 1 week, 2 max really.

    Kind regards,

    Olly Lawer

  • Thanks and great idea.

    Only trouble is I have a tight turnaround and I often don’t know exactly what I want until I ‘see it’, which makes a custom product difficult.

    Hope that makes sense.
