Going into the rental business is a full time endeavor. I wouldn’t recommend it.
By all means rent a camera to a local DOP or shooter you know for quick ENG or corporates for sure, but it’s a tough business.
You mentioned elsewhere you can’t afford a lawyer. I’d argue you can’t afford not to. Lawyers are pay as you go hired guns, if you can scrap together $100 you can talk to a lawyer, or take advantage of a first-free-consultation. In the world of business (which I’ll bundle the COW Business forum into) you might not want to be so vocal about not being able to afford professional advice! 🙂
PS I like your site. What are you using for your Blu-Ray authoring?

Alexander, taking the time to ask is a good sign. You’re on the right track already!
Going to school and more importantly using the tools you are given there to make a variety of content and make a lot of contacts both students and faculty, will go a long way no matter where you are studying. And it should be said the post-production community in SE Michigan, while being phenomenally insular, is very active and rather large. So being in Michigan is not bad at all. Plus, you are in a unique position to see what’s going on in NY and LA. Again, from my personal experience, the Detroit production and post scene is reactionary, not terribly innovative, but business are always aware of what’s going on at the coasts. I’m seeing more and more Michigan postpros with local and LA offices so that’s a good sign.
Intern with companies that feel like a good match, and always remember you will learn far more in the real world than in school, so take advantage of what the program offers.

What is your URL and what have you done so far? My 7 year old got tired of watching daddy rigging characters in Maya and realized his spiderman doll had IK built right in! He took my still digital camera and shot some frames and was finished his animation before I could pull all of my hair out.

The exteriors with the Machine in the background over the shoulders of reporters are flawless. There is a looong aerial helicopter at Canaveral which is just outstanding.
I’m going to rent that this weekend (again). Man it was free on TBS this past week too!

Funny you should mention this sequence. It was featured this month in 3D world as an outstanding moment in 3D in films.
https://features.cgsociety.org/story_custom.php?story_id=4402&page=2
“Sequence supervisor and amateur astrologer Jay Redd handled the 199-second, 4,710-frame shot, taking viewers through the known universe into the eye of a small girl.”
That segment was produced by ILM or Sony.

$50,000 for a license?
But wait, all the press I can find on the web is well over a year old. Surely there must be something recent…

[Laszlo Kovacs] “But may I ask WHY do you want to deinterlace your video? Usually it’s better not to do it.”
I want to find the guy who though interlace was a good idea and throw a coconut on his head.
As confusing as interlace is now, with HD it gets worse.
The video industry had a chance to rewrite the rulebook, but instead over fifty years later we’re still wondering how to deal with it.
Interlace sucks, it looks too clean compared to a lovely progressive quality the original poster is looking for, and as a graphic designer it only makes my life miserable.

Loved your reel and your site was very clean and easy to navigate. I particularly appreciated the shot list, although it would have been perfect if it popped up along the side or in an new window while the video was playing.
Having said that, and the reason for mentioning this, is that your reel is awesome, your site is very good, you should be near the top of your league in terms of rate.
Not knowing what your rate is now makes a raise of $15/h hard to comment on. But you are at a the level where you should be comfortably living off your skillset.
