We have been hired to shoot many performers for promotional purposes and as an example: We recently shot Keith Urban in concert in HD. We were required to pull our audio from a feed from the mixing console. One of Urban’s people watched our audio meters and wore headphones coming from our camera. At a given moment, their audio engineer unmuted our feed. The engineer timed the audio and cut it before 30 seconds. they also watched our time code. We were allowed to roll 10 seconds before and a few seconds after the audio send.
We also shot Andre Buchelli and their people let us tape for 5 minutes but again, restricted us to about 30 seconds of sound.
When we shot Kenny Rogers in concert, we were allowed to shoot a selected song only.
We were never required to sign any legal documents.

I don’t believe that’s possible. On the F-900/3 you could burn it into the analog outputs. Call BandPro to find out.

Might as well commit suicide. If you’ve had your life insurance for more than two years, your family can still collect.

[Bob Cole] “otoh: Steve, if you have a very wealthy friend, next time you get an idea like this, he may want a piece of the action.”
The reason he has lots of money is because he hasn’t been giving it to idiots like me. Not that I’m an idiot, but, there has to be some reason that I am not wealthy. I am a better person, by the way. but then, maybe being a rich a-hole isn’t so bad. I would have no idea.

Yeah, not only does it require a great idea but also the ability to implement that idea in a timely and high quality fashion. I probably couldn’t have done it back then but it taught me to move on my ideas and not listen to others. Most people don’t belive in what doesn’t already exist. Just imagine when some folks in Europe wanted to strike out and find out what was beyond the horizon. Who could believe that they would discover an entire continent or two. Completely inhabited by the way.
I asked a very wealthy friend what he thought was the key to success. His answer: Opportunity and preparedness. That is so true.

For a church? Around $700
For a large corporation? Around $2000In my wildest dreams and in a market where I had the only production company for 10,000 miles? Around $12K
The true answer is that there are usually a number of people connected to churches that are willing to donate all of their time to get something like this done. You’ve done a really nice job over what they had, for sure. When it comes to charities and legit non-profits, we usually ask to be reimbursed for our expenses and blow off any profits. Any time we do, we usually get some sort of windfall job within a few weeks that makes up for it in droves.
Hey, it ain’t always about money. When word gets out that you helped the church, you can count on a church member hiring you for something at full rate.

Widescreen was never intended to be placed in the center of a 4×3 frame. Japan switched to 16×9 many years ago and all Japanese TV is HD. We Americans live in the stone age. The 4×3 letterbox version of 16×9 is a compromise. The black bars are filler for the area where there is no picture when mixing the two.
One should shoot 16×9, edit 16×9 and output two versions. One with an anamorphic 16×9 image and the second with the added cover bars top and bottom for use on a typical 4×3 screen.
Some time in the near future, the standard will be 16×9 and the historic medium will be 4×3. We have been shooting 16×9 on 16×9 chips for 10 years. When we shoot for 4×3, we use only the center section for 4×3 output but all of our master footage is 16×9. Shooting in 4×3 is actually a thing of the past, just like shooting in SD will soon be a thing of the past.

I pulled up behind an SUV today that had a bunch of “Rush 2112” stickers on it. What were the chances of that?
