I would like some dirrection in solving a dilemma I have. I make animations on my A-3000 with DCTV and it has been working great until I started running out of memory playing back the anims I make. So I got more memory, now at 14 megs about to go to 18 megs, but my anims keep getting larger and larger and larger. I am sure that eventually I'll start running out of memory again, and I still have a problem with too much movement causing slow play-back, especially in 4 bit-plane DCTV. Now I am only doing this at home so I don't have a big budget, I know that single-framing is the answer but what would be the best way for `home' use? If I can have a nice set-up I would probably do side-jobs and hopefully eventually get a job at this. I have thought about the 16mm film alternative then transferring to tape but I have just been thinking of another alternative. I am sure that productions houses sell their older decks to get newer ones, would it be worth looking into getting one and a SFController? How much would these decks sell for USED(ball-park figures)? What should I be worried about in these decks? What format should I stay away from? Does anybody have any for sale? Any help in this area would be much appreciated. – via Whap!
