Hello, everyone! I am the Director of Print & Visual Services for Milliken & Company, Interior Furnishing and LaGrange Industrials Division (IF&LI). I've been promoting multimedia within our company for the past few years and we are now embarking on some sales applications. Of course, DTV will be an integral part of our strategy, although we are currently limiting ourselves to 3D animations. I hope to add video capture soon. Which means I need a LOT of advice from other Forum members. Hope all of you will chime in with your best thoughts over the next few weeks. I know many of you have already clawed your way past the "hump" with this new technology, and I hope you can help us avoid many of the problems you originally encountered. Also, a friend of mine owns and runs a local LPTV station, and has just purchased a used Aminga 2000/Toaster system. Of course, neither he nor his staff have a clue about using it for video production. I may be posting quite a few questions about the Amiga/Toaster. Again, I would appreciate your frank comments and any help along the way.

Sid, perhaps you would be interested in creating interactive videos for training purposes. Unilearn has created a way to make interactive videos VERY quickly and with little to no authoring time or advanced degrees. If interested, call 1-800-682-0677 (8:00 – 5:00 pst) and ask for dean dawkins or Curt Tueffert. Curt Tueffert national sales mgr.

Curt: Thanks much for the tip. Right now, general presentation support is what everyone is looking for, but one business is talking about training and education. I'll be calling soon. Perhaps the Education Department at our corporate HQ in Spartanburg would also be interested – I'll pass you names and number on to them. Thanks, Sid Phillips

Sid, thank you and sorry for the delay. I look forward to any contacts. Recently the market has really been heating up based on the people I've demo'd the product to. They can't wait to get their hands on it.. Curt

Hello there! I am a video producer who has worked in this field for some 30yrs now. (I started as a very young child). Anyways I am up to speed on all this stuff, including use of Avid, Toaster Flyer and a bit of Night Suite. I am lokking to change gears again and get into Multi Media although I was involved with a large project years ago that involved interactive technology using the PC and NAPLPS technology. We also produced many videodisks to complement these projects. After spending $40,000,000.00 (read million) of our clients money the project was dropped. I think we were ahead of our time. Anyway I have been involved in this field for a long time, and find it facinating the way it is going. The only problem I have with it all is that it still takes someone with a lot of creativety to come up with a good Multimedia program. I am here to find out what's cookin! Regards Rick.
