We really need the next player take a step up. Either Apple with a FCP X.2 release with a ton of new features that addresses the things that us collaborators in shops with 6 systems networked together need…and keep the perpetuity option…or Sony ports Vegas over to Mac…or Autodesk simplifies Smoke into a competent and complete AVID editor that Hollywood can adopt to move it’s acceptance forward or Blackmagic outright buys AVID, but only the editing software.
Or?

I have Net 30 on all my invoices and I am still waiting for payment on several projects that are 90 and 60 days past due. Some agencies only pay on net 60 so if you want their work that’s how they roll.
I will sometimes bill 1/2 up front on larger projects so 60 days from project inception I am getting the first payment then usually 60 days after it is delivered I get the rest.
They have never budged from that. If you want to have them as a customer.

Hey Todd; The premise here is that there are only three of you to kick around ideas but there are actually five staff on your site. So is it just the three or five, because two more heads to toss ideas around with is a big deal.
And one more question…you say it is always a three person crew, so no grips or makeup artists or production design or PAs and things like that? Just the three staff and the client or agency staff?
Just curious…since the premise is only three staff to do the entire production, from the pre-pro thru production and post.
Clarity?

Production crews usually work on full day (10 hours) and sometimes 1/2 day (5 hours). For me, if I could shoot in the morning, assuming that from the time I left my building until I returned was less than 5 hours, and then I could edit another project in the afternoon, I would charge for the 1/2 day rate (in our case around $600-800).
There is a chance that someone else would do this for $300-500 so you have to decide if you are willing to give up the job for a lower rate.
Bid accordingly. You never know if it will turn into much more than just a few hours!

Well, technically all drones sold at NAB are currently grounded for commercial use since it is technically illegal in the US to fly commercially. I was implying or imploring or both, that the best approach currently is to become a fervent hobbyist and get really, really good at becoming a skilled pilot so when the time comes for the legislation to make commercial flying legal for videographers that we are well prepared and versed in both law and safety.
Or we might be “grounded” once again.
Capishe?

Good catch Richert….if you view by Category it does not show up with the rest of the Adobe forums. It is only when you sort by alphabetical…

Hmmm…I almost always use a Windows machine to encode a great Windows Media file. While Powerpoint on a PC can accept MP4s (assuming it is Windows 7 and recent Powerpoint version) I ALWAYS use Windows Media movies.
Compressor is terrible at creating them! I use Episode on the Mac to create great looking Windows Media files.
In a 4×3 powerpoint if a 16×9 movie is dropped onto a slide it will automatically letterbox the movie into the slide….this is usually acceptable. If you MUST edge crop the movie, again Episode is your friend as it can do all this juggling and still kick out a great looking Windows Media movie edge cut and scaled to the correct size for the Powerpoint. Or a PC with the FREE Windows Media encoder.

From the Model Aircraft guy who’s in charge of Government regulations, here’s his take from a hobbiest point of view:
———————————————————————————————————-
Unfortunately, there currently is a lot of ambiguity, misunderstanding and misinformation regarding the use of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) for business or commercial purposes. Whether it is truly illegal is debatable; however, it’s clear that operating a sUAS for business purposes without specific FAA approval/authority is outside FAA policy.As you mentioned, there are many UAS operators that see FAA’s policy as unenforceable and choose to operate outside this policy. I’m not sure this is the most prudent approach and I would agree with your decision to wait until there is a change in the policy or regulation in place that enables commercial sUAS operations.
That having been said… The AMA recognizes there is a growing community of sUAS operators that are using this technology for a purpose, largely aerial photography. We believe the safety considerations are the same whether or not this purposeful use is for recreational or commercial purposes.
As such, the AMA is currently developing an operational and safety program that will provide a safety structure for those who wish to operate their aircraft in a safe and responsible manner. We believe this is important to, 1) stem the mounting onslaught of bad press and publicity arising from the irresponsible use of this technology, and 2) to provide a safe haven from onerous regulation for those who choose to operate safely and responsibly.
We are working with a group of stakeholders and prominent members of the sUAS community in the development of this program, and hope to announce and launch our sUAS program by midsummer.
———————————————————————————————————-
Takeaway? Become a skilled hobbiest first to determine if this is your bag of tricks (can fly without crashing) and is something you want to pursue professionally. Then plug in to the FAA guidelines and any new forthcoming legislation.
A small handful of over zealous video guys could very possibly put a black mark on our industry…it’s only going to take one serious crash and a lawsuit and all the craft that were sold at NAB will be grounded…
