Hi Mark, I read your reply to Dana about 3DS etc. I have similar experience. I do I.T. strategic consulting (like Big 6) and some software design development (VB 3, Access 2, Pwbldr 4, Sybase etc) I wanted to get into video. I already had AniPro 1.3 & Targa, but last Dec I retooled to 3DS-R4, PAR, Razor-Pro, TB Monterrey, Photoshop etc. Later I upgraded to Animator Studio (great in principal, but lousy first release & no PAR) Although the learning curve is steep as you say, I did a 30 second commercial, unsolicited, for a regular DP client, using an animated bulb mixed with video clips, and the client fell in love with it, and is putting it out on cable. I charged them $2K which is very low, but I got a great learning curve boost by doing something I thought I could ultimately sell. I think you're on the right track. I've been in the 6 figures for the last 10 years, and I see a convergence of video/audio skills with historical DP work. I'd like to stay in touch…..Regards, Martin
