Here in Houston, at least, an independent can charge $50 an hour. . .and that's rather low from what I understand!

Really...? That's pretty decent. I guess it would depend on how much you work. Luckily for us the U.S. is a place where we love to sue each other... :)

Bryant,
This thread is probably one of the best resources you'll find on the subject. Pay particular note to Paul's extensive remarks further up.

For those interested I found this site that look pretty complete.
I haven't explored it in depth, but the additional links might be helpful. http://www.legalvideo.info/ Got another question: I looked at two videographers website and from that they state, they are using Sony 3 CCD cameras. One I think is using the PD-150 and the other Sony DSR250. Here is one of them, I can't find the other. http://www.legaldigitaltech.com/ They have video demo Again, I am so new it's not even funny, but can those camera be used? Paul stated that digital is not preferred. Will be able to supply the time stamp? Earlier in this thread Paul Sadillo asked it the XL1s will be able to do this. I just want to confirm the answer was yes, and the GL2 can't. thx. |

That seems a bit harsh, Nigel. Especially since one of those lawyers (Paul) contributed so much to this thread.
Sorry you've had personal experience with a few you don't like.

I hate to ask this questions, it'll really make me look like a newbie.
I'm really interested in this profession can some help me answer these questions: 1) Can anyone tell me of a make or model of a outboard date/time generator? 2) What is the purpose of the mixer? Make/Model? 3) What make/model of lav mics? |

Thank you Paul for your insight. I have been looking for some answers on this topic for some time. Outside of the mentioned certification programs there is little information to be found. It seems to be a well guarded industry.
