Wow, that's cool. Good deal.

No arguments here. I have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and used quite a bit of advice from this Forum.

Just email. reel1@2reelfx.com Trust me, i'm no expert. i'm probably a Novice video editor and don't even qualify to be an amatuer film maker, but I do make some dough with what I do, so I'll offer advice and tips on the limited knowledge I do have, but there are plenty of more qualified people...

I'm still at work. This Forum is addictive, sometimes I actually get some work done. Will customize tonight hopefully. :)

I started my business last year. the IRS doesn't really expect to see profits from small businesses for about 3-5 years. I had a loss of $4800 for my first year, probably not bad compared to other people's businesses, but then again, I don't run my business as a full time business yet. But, with...

Yeah, I hear ya, I'm still trying to figure all this out for myself, so don't feel like the Lone Ranger on this. I just did my taxes as a Sole Proprietorship which resulted in pretty decent returns. I'm not sure I need the protection of an LLC yet though as I work on small projects for the time...

Oh no problem, I was just confused, I mean it doesn't take much to confuse me in the first place, but I was just wondering.....

If you use the Education version, do not use it for commercial use and make a profit. It's illegal in the US, not sure about Germany.

That's not what this website states http://www.selfemployedweb.com/s-corp-vs-llc.htm nor does the IRS see it that way- http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p3402.pdf Pass through taxation- Profits and losses are reported on individual tax returns. but I do agree with contacting a lawyer, I can not...

How the heck did I start a new Thread? I responded to one of KnightMan's Threads....hmmmm, that's weird.

Guess it was a vague question, I just meant I'm interested in hearing how long it took for you to consider yourself successful and noticed enough for people to come to you for steady work. I'm not being specific because I know there are all types of businesses on this forum, film makers, post...

Good to know because I was looking at two cameras, one DV, and the other HD. Thanks!

Is this really true? If so, why? I thought DV was still being used quite a bit....this kinda squashes my plans a little, so it's good to know the facts about this before hand.

Since there's so many variables and opinions on this, from what I've read on this forum, it might be best for you to just to do a Search on this topic first because quite a few others have asked this question before. I always try to Search first because someone else usually has already asked my...

Wow, I never thought about that point, but it makes sense, good point to remember!

Sony Vegas is awesome. I use it as my Primary editing suite, you will do fine with the Platinum Studio version, you probably don't need the Pro version yet. I still use the Studio version and it does everything I need it to do for the most part. For the more advanced stuff I'll use AE. Wow, I...

Not to be nit picky, but just so you don't buy something you may not need or want right now, After Effects is not an editing program, it's a compositing program which allows you to add special affects via layers like Photoshop. An example of an editing suite (or NLE) is Sony Vegas, Adobe...

The biggest and most important difference I found was with an S Corp, profits have to be distrbuted in accordance with the amount of investement of all board members you can't simply divy it up 50/50 or some other equal distribution, whereas an LLC does need to be run by board members and the...
