Thanks, Kevin. I will make the changes. I have been hounding my boss for the upgrade for several months now, I appreciate the ammunition.

Thanks Steve,
My concern was the video card, but it should be all right. The operator will be a part-time intern from one of our high schools, and I want to keep it as simple as possible – maybe drop back to Final Cut Express…Steve Putnicki

Peter,
Red will not open in stand alone, I did reinstall 4.2 upgrade and ran repair disk permissions from disk utility. I also trashed Boris prefs. Do I need to trash Red 3.0? Any help will be appreciated.Thanks,

Thanks Grinner,
Again I am hearing that it’s not about the hardware, but what to do with what you have…the story telling component is the most important, and the ability to use and understand the tools is next. Since we will be working from Kindergarten through High School, and are governed by some mandated curriculum requirements as to how technology is to be used in the classroom, I believe the most emphasis should be put on the telling of the story, than how the story is best told. In the commercial world I have seen “talking heads” with crisp writing and minimal production value be much more effective than all the bells-and-whistles special effx spots in which no one can even name the product – “I don’t know what they were selling, but it sure was pretty!”
Remembering that public education is to teach “reading, writing & arithmetic”, technology allows the student to better communicate and express their ideas in this new world of “Zeroes and Ones.” Equipment will be introduced along the way that will compliment the student’s ability and interest. More technology and deeper instruction into production can be introduced as electives, not just advanced classes for Gifted and Talented at any level. Again, thanks for the input.Steve

Thanks for the great replies…you guys are awesome. Tim, I will go over each of your points carefully…a great place to begin, and I am sure that they will lead to even more questions. Thanks for the direction.
Mark, I have fond memories of those push/zoom rods from AFRTS/AFKN studio in Seoul Korea in 1970.
I think you both have hit upon the concept of not necessarily the “how” but the “why & what” of the production/story. It seems that our IT folks are so focused on the hardware/software that they lose sight of the story telling. The Arts/Communications folks should have more input into what their “perfect” lab/studio will look like. Yes, we need the tools, but more importantly we need the skills to tell the story in the best manner possible.
Again thanks for the great responses fellas, I will try to wrap my middle-aged brain around them. I have a few weeks to work on this so any other thoughts, comments will be welcomed. -
Tim,
Thanks for the great explanation. -
