In the archives, David Roth Weiss posted about small claims court, a fine piece worth reading.

[Brendan Coots] “There are so many new artists coming into the industry every day that we can’t hope to absorb them all”
No way around it: a surplus in supply (of employees) creates downward pressure on wages.
For those of you who have been in business for a long time, I also hope you consider adding “marketing analysis” to your rate card.

It’s also worth keeping in mind the difference between:
— electronic signal processing &
— computer programmingThere’s so much information on all of it, it’s hard to know exactly where to start, so here’s a place: https://lurkertech.com/lg/fields/ It’s written from the point of view of a computer programming trying to make software to turn a video signal into a video editing platform (like Final Cut Pro). This guy Mr. Lurkertech wrote specs for QuickTime. He’s an authority worth reading.

Here’s a book rec, also. https://www.amazon.com/Bare-Bones-Camera-Course-Video/dp/0960371818
The book is cheap and short.

[Todd Terry] “have a screw off “wire pull through” panel on them which makes threading and tying off the shock cord easy.”
Thanks! That’s the part I couldn’t visualize. Now I need to learn how to tie a square knot!

A picture is worth a 1,000 words…can you snap a photo–if you get a moment–and post, especially the shock cord part.

DVX100 will be fine. But if it’s dialogue heavy, consider posting in the https://forums.creativecow.net/audioprofessionals because mic and mic placement are more important than camera, for this particular movie.
Here’s what happens, for example: Let’s say you cover a scene in four shots: WS, MS, CU, POV.
When the microphone changes locations even in the same room, the room tone will also change, even when you change the position of the lights the reverb in the room is altered! So, when the movie is cut, the “white noise” will shift in pitch and it’s very disturbing and very noticeable shot to shot. In order to fix that, you will have to re-record all of the audio in accordance with the picture lock, with a few ADR sessions.

Having seen too many movies about “The Family of Attorneys” 😉 please bear in mind I am in no way challenging your expertise when I ask: doesn’t music video production belong to the originator of the work, namely the band?
This has been a topic of much discussion in other forums, if not this one too.

Have you recouped all of your negative costs?
