Gregory-
My company is set up to help people exactly like you. We are 3D-Studio
users ourselves and have a network of 3DS workstations, a Diaquest
controller, and a Betacam SP videotape recorder. You can (1) send us your
rendered images (this will involve hundreds of TGA or TIF files, probably)
and let us put them directly to tape; (2) send us your .PRJ files and let
us render them here (more expensive); or (3) a combination of the above,
where we might do Video-Posting for you here. Betacam is superior to S-VHS
format, but if you specifically need S-VHS, we can dup it down to that.
We charge by the frame for image-to-tape and by the hour for rendering,
compositing, etc. If your interested I'll e-mail you a rate/service
description sheet or give me a call (510) 420-6960. If I'm not in any of
the technicians can help you.

Noah: Please e-mail me a rate/service card, too. I've been thinking about
the options for doing 3DS animation and having somebody else do the
recording makes good sense, at least at the outset.
