> www.JamieKrutz.comKerry, I don't think Thad has a problem with his being an artist.

Actually I do think we all have a responsibility to say what we believe
and what we think will be of value to others. Great artists have
powerful voices and they absolutely should communicate for the
betterment of society and the future of the civilization. Frankly I
would much rather hear heart felt opinions from an intelligent actor
like Tim Robbins (Erik the Viking!) than the compromised party line we
hear from most pragmatic politicians.

Has anyone been watching the John Adams HBO series? Even at the birth of
our Republic we had bankers' pawns like Hamilton scheming to put the
country into debt with an expensive army and war.

e Dual Xeons did. I think
they could get a powerful desktop setup in the $1500 to $1800 that would
rival the high end PC gamer, audio and video systems.
I really don't think they can ever deliver a sub $1000 machine that will
compete with PCs in the same price and still keep their level of
component quality

that they seem to want to care about.
Do you really want them to become a Gateway, Dell, Compaq, etc?
If they really wanted to push the envelope and take on MS for real they
need to make OSX officially work on any PC and let manufacturers like
HP, DELL, etc offer it on their machines. That is the only way for it

(859) 635-5762Chris, I'm glad you recognize Apples quality when it comes to components.
In the PC world, when you look at a SOYO MOBO and an Intel MOBO there is
a definite difference in price, and I assume quality. Apple as I know it,
is using Intel MOBOs in their lap tops and I guess desk tops??? With all
the stuff Apple is having built in the FoxConn Plant in China, and all of
the defective iPods out of the box I hear about, I have to think Apple's
quality is not quite what it once was. I believe Apple still has reasonably
good quality, however. I for one, think their prices should reflect their
savings, but that is a whole other subject.

Yes, I would like Apple to keep their quality up. Chris, you starting to
sound like a Apple salesman: ) Have you been drinking the Kool-Aid? :
) I hope you know I'm just kidding you. I'm glad your on board with the
Mac thing.

I'm not in the event/wedding market, although I've shot a couple of
weddings for friends but not recently.

For our wedding a few years back we passed a Panasonic DVX100 around (we
have talented friends) and we had a wireless mic to pick up the
important words up front and to catch the sound of the small orchestra
and the air canons (yes, it was an unusual wedding). It was outdoors so
lighting was by the sun.

Anyway, there are a lot of options for event video gear. Start with
Canon, Sony, Panasonic in DV or HDV. Any of the models with XLR audio
inputs are worth considering, (and maybe a few that don't, for B-roll).
Or go tapeless with the latest formats from Sony and Panasonic, or via a
hard drive recorder. At events, you won't get much chance to do
controlled lighting so choose a camera with good low light performance.

I would think a hi-def format would give you a marketing edge. Use a
tripod when you can. Wireless mics on or near the participants would be
a good thing. Great pictures aren't enough if you can't hear what's
going on.

I've used a lot of editing systems. Currently I edit with Final Cut Pro
on the G5 or the new laptop.

Feel free to email if I can help with any questions.

Cheers,
-Jamie

>Sounds like you're in good shape with your experience and education.
What to buy depends on the results you want and how much you want to spend.

The tech changes constantly, much like computers. If you want the
security of shooting tape and your budget is under $10k, for SD I still
like the Panasonic DVX100. For HD/SD, the Canon HDV XHA1. Both can do 24
frame progressive - something I use but event shoots probably wouldn't
require that.

For tapeless, the new EX1 is a big step forward for Sony but with a
couple of out-of-the-gate problems. Rolling shutter issues could cause
problems for fast action or concerts, there were also some vignetting
problems, but otherwise it's impressive for the $. Panasonic has the P2
cams, I thought the HVX200 was too noisy in low light but there's an
update announced.

Google around for the current NAB news. New stuff is coming from
everyone. Panasonic looks interesting again with several tapeless format
options. Red is promising something beyond HD to compete with the above
in a year or so.

Replying from the new laptop. ;^)

Cheers,
-Jamie

video via firewire into my new machine, an Intel Quad 6600 system. I'm still
using an old version of Vegas then that gets blown to DVD-R. I don't really
do production professional video anymore, so I'm sure I'm behind the curve.
That said, Vegas is very easy and very powerful for the home/semi-pro user
and won't cost and arm and a leg like an Avid or Grass Valley type setup.

milar spec PC Xeon is when it comes to drive storage.
Having only 4 drives total sucks. in many PC towers of a similar size and build quality you can 8 or more in some cases.
The external SATA drive racks are huge prices jumps.

I have never not been on board with Apple. I did give up on them in th whole G5 days. They were way under powered for the price imho.
Had way too many noise and heat and power issues for something that is supposed to be so customized.
They were pretty doomed I think till they got the Intel thing happening.
We have been selling Apple systems for about a year now. jeez go to our website some time. :)
Got way better prices than Apple and will pre-install any audio/video hardware software people buy for it at no charge.
We also have lifetime phone/email tech support for the Apple just like any of our systems.
