When you’re using a Hollywood level color timing system, like a Divinci, one can perform miracles. On the budget that the average guy has, there are some compromises.
I would do as earlier suggested and grab some daylight stuff and start adjusting things. We did a shoot in a cemetary in Mexico that the director decided later would look cool if it was a night shot. We did it in Combustion and it only took 20 minutes to come up with the right image.
We tried that same thing in the FCP color corrector and it did not work as well for some reason.

Bravo to you. A client of our, Erchonia Medical, makes a low power cold laser that the treated Lance with every evening. It is a small hand held device with what looks like a grocery store scanner that emits two leteral beams of red lazer. It heals bone and tissue damage and it is the most amazing thing. We used one on my spine after last year’s motorcycle accident and my bones healed in 1/3 the time that the doctors predicted. Now, if only I could find the lobotomy setting…

I know numerous “Communications Directors” who don’t have people under them. Look through your HR listings for any type of director and then explain to HR that you are a “director”. Shower them with lavish gifts, college education for their children, clothing, jewelry and free meals. I’ll bet you could pull this off.

Try buying “Quicken” – small business, home business edition. Not only can you write an invoice but you can also keep track of the millions that you’ll be making.

Seems like you’ve answered your own question as far as you are concerned. If you’re shooting corporate video, there is almost no reason to shoot anything other than 60i.

Not a bad price if it actually works.

The filter is a quick and dirty way to pull it off but they actually work. I think there’s an explanation on Tiffen’s website. If we are doing it for our self, we shoot a stop or two down at dusk and adjust it with the color corrector in post. If I’m doing it for someone without experience in color timing, I use the filter. We darken it in post and use a blue enhancement.
Avoid shooting the sky. Shadows are ok because it will look like a full moon. To experiment, shoot something outside at night during a full moon using the cameras 3200 white balance. Now, shoot something at dusk and color correct it. Do a split screen and match the two. Some color correctors have a day for night preset, I think.
This subject was covered in an HBO First Look about “Escape from LA”.

More in Ray’s price range – https://www.nextag.com/wood-music-stand/search-html
After all, his company is budget minded.

Use a stick mic on an arm. We use an old Audio Technica 815 ($300). It has a narrow pattern and a roll off switch. Hang it above and in front of the CEO, aimed about 6″ in front of his mouth. If he is at a desk, make sure to use a desk pad to avoid some of the echo that a desk top will provide.
Good luck

Can we have a contest on the 8 asterisks? I would put my answer here but I don’t know if “assholes” is inappropriate.
