Why Apple Works

I was just thinking this morning about Apple, and their unspoken agreement with creative digital media professionals, and yes, there is one. Steve (Jobs) makes the offer to you of a free new Apple computer every year. Plus, he’ll pay you a little cash to take it.

Many perceive that Apple purposely drives software development such that the computer …

Josh

at March 4, 2006 3 Comments

We have had many questions on how much to charge for various jobs. When I first got into the biz almost 20 years ago, the standard for industrial video production (training, marketing etc.) was $1000 per finished minute. So a 20 minute piece would be $20,000, including planning, shooting and editing.

Nowadays there is no standard. Being …

Is reauthoring entire movie catalogs in HD DVDs a huge opportunity?

Published by

Josh

at January 5, 2006 4 Comments

Think about this:

More and more people are buying HD TVs. HD DVD standards are still settling. Walk into a Blockbuster or check out NetFlix, and you’ll find all DVDs are SD (Standard Definition) except for just a couple exceptions.

However, after the next year or two, NO ONE is going to want to rent or buy a low resolution, SD DVD.

at December 31, 2005 6 Comments

I am going to start a series of articles detailing new ways to think about video production in the 21st century. The old paradigm of “hey, please hire me to shoot and edit your video for $X (or $X/hour)” is still quite valid and will be perhaps forever.

But there are new, different ways to think about making money with DV.

Here is the first one, called “How to turn a $3,000 job into a $30,000 job” (based on a true story, but details have been changed), which details a very feasible $300,000 per year business plan for a DV creator.
