    Sorry but those cameras will not have the functions that are necessary for production. For starters, what about sound?

    I certainly didn’t hire any of them. Don’t think I could hang with someone who just stabbed their BFF in the back.

    We’ve had the same experience in Vegas. It’s called “job shadows”. I actually had one guy ask me to train him during our shoot. I felt like tossing him under a train, to be truthful.

    sounds to me like they’re treating you like one of their children, not an employee. But, that is the feeling that slides in when you’re working in a home based business like you’re in and like we have.

    If we have a job that is away from the norm, I ask my guy how he feels about doing it. If it’s during normal business hours, he’s working for his salary. Nights and weekends, he makes something closer to freelance money. If it’s something that he doesn’t want to do, I hire outside.

    I think that your main problems are their assumption that you’re “one of the family” and your failure to speak up.

    Have a company meeting and clear the air. You might be surprised at the result.

    Last year, I found out that one of my employees was very unhappy because she posted it in a blog on her “private” myspace page. Her friends read it, forwarded it to me and then asked for her job. It seems like the things she hated were perfectly acceptable to others.

    I’d go for it but all of my friends think that I’m nuts. I hope you’re the technical savvy type. It sounds like it.

    Use two recorders and switch between the two units. We use the Pioneer PRV-LX1.

    Good move. AlwaysqQuote a day rate and overtime. You cannot predict how long it will take someone to perform.

    We just did something very similar and there were times when we had to wait an hour for someone to “get ready’. Had we bid on $X per interview, we would have eaten the extra time.

    Sometime they want you to lock in on price but they don’t want locked in on a time limit.

    We expected something higher before they brought that out.
