Bob would have been my trump card if it had gotten more out of hand!

I printed some of the advice given here and I presented it to the producer after a pleasant positive conversation. Contracts are being drawn up, everyone will get paid and we’ll get this sucker done.
Told the producer to use this experience as a learning moment and to not hang his head because things became a bit unraveled.
Negotiating with the right perspective and with a clear head can make the difference….add in a little advice from the COW and you have an actual SOLUTION!
Thanks all.

Excellent reply. One more thing. The footage is now converted from AVCHD to ProRes at the editing house’s hard drives. So technically there is more than one copy of the footage.
What if the producer severs ties with the cameraman and asks the post house to put all the ProRes footage on his drive?

HUGE TIP….turn off the HD with the HD blue button in the bottom right corner and they will play like butter and look great.
Not everyone will discover this, i.e. clients, but it works for me! And my kids.

I actually partitioned a 2 terabyte drive into three equal partitions. One has my current Leopard 10.5.8 install with all our app. The second is a clean Snow Leopard install (so I could get Lion). And the third is the clean Lion install.
The plan is to install FCP (yuck) into Lion along with CS 5.5 and FCS 3 plus a few other goodies.
Then do a file transfer from my Leopard install to the Snow Leopard install. This way my Lion install is all fresh installs and my Snow Leopard is what I fall back on if I run into glitches.
I can boot from any of the partitions by holding down the option key at bootup.

Tnere is huge risk starting in a new production community. You are going to need some good references to establish yourself. Also I think you are heading for trouble if you haven’t determined how the money will be paid.
Like any company you should view each person as an employee and you each get a salary. Each person is responsible for their tasks. You could award one of the employees if they bring in a big job, but in the end, it seems that one of you needs to step up and take the ownership role of the business….you will take all the risk as well. Search these forums for how well partnerships work out.
Sounds like a couple business classes at the local tech college would do you guys a world of good. And sizing up who the competition will be in the new location will help.
Finally this is probably the worst possible economy to start a new production business. Projects can be hard to find and budgets are shrinking.
Just a couple thoughts.

THANKS WALTER….exactly what I was looking for…and I would assume ours will end up with similar conclusions.

Question Walter…our local editors are meeting early next week and since you had a meeting, what are some key points that mot people had on their mind?
I want to open our event up as a discussion on the potential merits of FCP X as well as discuss which other solution might be on people’s radar. We are a pretty small market so we should have a good idea what people are thinking.
But what ideas were most pressing in your group so I can be prepared!

They had $7.3 billion in net profit this year, double what they did last year…this after dropping the FCS suite.
