=?iso-8859-1?Q?Re:_It=92s_Showtime!=3F?=
I might suggest that you hook up with your local Cable TV public access
group. Here, you get FREE loans of pro video gear (typically 3/4" stuff,
although some Hi8 is also available), as well as an edit bay, titler, etc.,
and in some cases, a production crew and studio, as well as people to help
you use the gear. Sure, you'll have to put your video on public access tv,
but it costs nothing, and it's interesting as well. What's available, and
to who, depends on your local cable company, and what sort of deal the
local city was able to negotiate with them in exchange for the franchise
and access to city facilities (streets, poles, etc.)
Highly recommended, if only for the pro edit bay.
