Frank, I DO have the VITC cards in my 7750's…sure helps with some of the quick stuff I do. About the TALENT…(hehe)…here's the scoop: The check-cashing guy needed his spot like in 3 days, & I had nowhere to turn. While driving to the office, for SOME reason, I all of a sudden thought of a Civic Players group here in town that is comprised of wannabe actors/actresses. Gave their casting director a call, and within 2 hours had 6 people call me practically BEGGING to do stuff for FREE! Nope, not my friends (never saw these folks before). Ever try to get your friends to do talent? Forget it. Anyway, got them to come in at 2-hour intervals, make some quickie backdrops (am going to build some mini-sets soon) and just fed them lines one at a time to feed back to the camera (Pana 200CLE). Didn't even have the actual scrips written yet! So I wrote the scripts incorporating some of their 'reaction-type' responses. Used the same varied aquisition series for 3-4 different clients. Price was right. Nope, not me on camera, either. I do the voice-overs, period. Don't need the publicity in that regard. I also do voice only for a few other clients (like car dealers) mainly in the same high-tempo 'buy now' type of delivery. Sells cars. BTW if I sent you a copy of that Warehouse Sale (for Hippo's), they did 121K in 3 days. (Job security!) Current projects now include a :30 for a Tropical Plant Liquidation outfit that sets up in local malls for a week or two, then moves on. Making a generic spot they can use in several markets, with 2 audio tracks, one changeable to id the particular sale site (along with keying over the Mall's location on screen). Nuff outa me….WHERE'S THAT TAPE?? Bob
