JF>     Is this conference active?  There are no messages on it.  Because
JF> of this, I do not know what the rules for this conferance are.  I
JF> wanted to join this conference because I thought it would be a good
JF> place to talk to other professionals.
It is.  Speaking for myself, I just scan it for messages from guys like
yourself, and then reply.  
JF>     I have an aerial video business shooting raw aerial footage for
JF> various other businesses. I use a stabilized broadcast quality
JF> camera in a patented remote controled wing mount on a Cessna 172.
JF> With this setup, I can emulate helicopter and blimp footage quite
JF> well.
I am a video editor by trade and have been for about ten years.  Although my
experience level well exceeds my work as an event video editor (weddings and
stuff usually frown upon or laughed at by network and industry editors), I
do the work because I enjoy it, and because I am persuing self employment as
a Lightwave animator.  
JF>     I am thinking of expanding into editing and I would like to
JF> get some information on video editing equipment (SVHS and HI8) i.e.
JF> sources of equipment and different equipment that is available.  I
JF> would also like to discuss editing techniques with some of you who
JF> have been involved in it for a while.  Any information and discussion
JF> will be greatly appreciated.  Thank You in advance.
I would suggest getting in touch with Armatos, located in Queens, NY (they
list it as being in Glendale, NY).  I don't have the number off hand, but
you can find it in any professional video or Toaster magazine, or simply
call information.
Where are you from?  Have you been doing acquisition for profit for very
long?  Is the business in high demand?  Tell me a bit about your end of the
industry.  Although I do not fly (or even know a pilot, for that matter), I
have always been interested in this end of the business, mainly for artistic
reasons. . .   Actually, one idea (or suggestion) I would have for you is,
consider the possibility of compiling some of your most artist stuff into a
video library which others can use in their productions.  I think if you
look into it, you will find that there is a HUGE demand for stock footage of
this nature. . .
In terms of editing technique, I can help you.  Simply drop me mail, either
on this echo, or if you have access to E-Mail (Internet) my address is:
                           Robert.Cohen@njland.com
Good luck with your venture.
Until Next Time. . .
