Ok, I asked before what would it would be worth to you to see professional broadcast quality videos made. I seemed to have gotten the deer with the headlights in the eyes. So, i'll spell it out for you.

Inorder for me to beable to make professional broadcast quality video I need about 11,500$. That is for the 1/2" 3xCCD DVCam camcorder(7000$) some lighting(500$ each x 2) and a chroma background(3500$). Inorder to break away from amaturishness that is what it would require to make such, unfortunately I cannot swing this making 6.50$ an hour. I do have the skills to create videos and I have the video editing program to do such but not the income to make this happen.

I've toyed with what I have and for the life of me I can't get rid of the blue aura that surrounds me everytime I even attempt to chroma key out the background nor do I have the room to actually create a studio so chroma keying is the only thing I can do to make up for that deficency; however, using chroma keying and having that pretty much well down pat would lead to being able to make other peoples dreams of their own show come true at sometime later on down the road when this becomes a self sufficient enterprise.

The question is, do we put our collective money where our mouth is or do we just shut the fuck up and quit bitching if we aren't able to pony up to make it happen.

How about this, I make a small 10 - 15minute video tomorrow morning. I use my Chroma background some of my other skills in graphics and i show you EXACTLY what I can do. If you like it, put up if you don't i'll slink into a corner and shut the fuck up.

Can't rent the equipment? I used to work with film (16mm) and I rented everything. I never owned a camera, period. Never had a developing sink and never an editing deck. Rented the whole kaboodle. All I bought was film and aspirin.

Somebody help out here. No video equipment rental?

Two places to rent the camcorder, one is 50 miles away in orlando and the other is in Miami, The rental prices are astronomical and not worth it because after a year of renting you could have purchased two of these video cameras. Unless i've checked out the wrong places, but from what window shopping I have, rental isn't exactly the best option.

The story's more important than the equipment; if you got the one, eventually you'll get the other. We are working on some stuff, if you shoot me a private note we can discuss it.
