Folks, I hope it is O.K. but I have started a new "Topic of the Week:". Going down Michael Towe's list of a few 100 messages ago, I find, how to make money, er, market yourself or your video. In that vein I'd like to start it off with an observation… Marketing yourself or your video starts alot with "producing". IE., do some stuff for fun (read nothing) and then show it off. The example that comes to mind is the local NBC affiliate just bought a "model" of DIA (Denver International Airport) from a "contact" of his here in Denver. The contact was made because this particular individual managed to make his name known, through his work, in the local, if not national, arena for producing professional computer based graphics. If you can find a poor paying job, but one that will bring exposure, grab it! Exposure can really pay off in the long run with video professionals contacting you for a particular job that they need done. They have the job and let us face it, you have the talent. What we/you have to do is show the people that have the jobs that we/you have the talent. -John
