How vital is a Studio?

[Harold]

If you are getting constant work?

 

[directorik]

I don't understand the question. Can you elaborate?

 

[Papertwinproductions]

I don't believe i follow.

 

[Grand Upper]

I think he means having your own place to edit and stuff?

 

[M1chae1]

Do you mean having a physical studio to call basecamp, house equipment, and shoot at on occasion? Is that the question?

Or is the question do you need to LLC your company for insurance and a professional appearance?

Neither are necesarry, but the second is highly recommended if you're serious about making movies. The first is a 'nice to have' not a 'must have.'

If you are editing and mixing audio it is essential.

This is mine:

Here is my beast!

I think an editing suite and a studio are two different things. It's necessary to have an editing setup if you plan on editing the project yourself...you could of course use someone else's editing suite, but that would require either money or a solid friendship.

Alcove...nice setup...very slick.

Grand, that looks so retro...Is that an Amiga 2000 I see? Awesome. Did you use Video Toaster or Lightwave? I love it. I used to love my Amiga 500...very cool for games, but not a video production rig.

I needed to actively post on networking sites for my class - Establish Networks. So i thought i would post something vague that people would respond to (and some, gloat on (Alcove Audio, Grand Upper)). Don't feel used.

Gloating = a helpful answer to an incredibly obtuse question? I'm very confused.

 

[Alcove Audio]

No gloating, statement of fact. If you have clients you need to present professional surroundings.

 

[Grand Upper]

Is he mocking my Dual-Amiga setup?

 

[M1chae1]

Dude, I LOVE your A500 and A2000 setup!!! It's kickass! I had the rig on the left...used to play games on it like crazy in the late 80's/early 90's.

 

[Grand Upper]

It has a superb 72 hour rendering speed (per/min).

So Harold's class assignment was to go to forums and engage in conversations.

He started a 3 or 4 threads with very general questions. Like the other one that said "Sony or Panasonic? Let's discuss."

We responded and he accomplished his assignment. He didn't need the information, just responses.



Now let's track him down and demand payment.

If his assignment was to establish networks he failed.

I hate it when people do this. However, it does put some
of the posts we get here in perspective; there might be
more students doing this. Doing the absolute minimum
of work they are assigned.
