Sorry its been real busy aroung here lately but I'm back. Let see, to
answer some of your questions….Things are going real good…Before I even
finished all the animation, stills and CG for the demo I released a VHS
tape with only a few images and logos on it. I sent it to cable companies
(which sell their advertising cheap so you will have to do alot to make
money), TV stations, and advertising companies. I recieved a good response
so that's where I took aim.
My company does quite afew different things, not just video so it's
hard for me to say whether it would stand on it's own. I worked for Yamaha
Digital Musical Instruments in CA. for four years.(Yes that's right folks
all those wonderful sounds you hear in the Yamaha keyboards came from me
and about three other guys) I still create sounds for them and work as a
consultant. I created all the instruments and incidental music for two
movies "Nightfall" and "Star Trek V" although in "STV" I didn't do any
music just programmed the sounds. And last but not least, I work with PAS
Systems in Canada and we are releasing (soon) FOUR video games on the Amiga
(including CDTV) I can't say much about that but one of them is a brand new
Don Bluth game. ( We did the orginal Dragon's Lair by the way). Anyway the
point to all that is that's where I got the $$$ to invest in Video
animation and production. Conditions are fair here.
I would love to send you a copy of my demo tape Give me a call next week
Gotta go now…

Money from sound work to feed video work…interesting. How is the cash
flow from video stuff?

Well let's say a 48% increase over this time last year. I really
belive that once you get somethings out there and the word gets around the
ball with start to roll. Another way to look at it for me at this time is
that if I were single, I could live comfortably on the income. This is our
second year of existance. Sorry so short…gotta run. 😎
