haha! That's what I thought too when I came out to check th 8s that showed up. I was thinking to myself "Is that a white RX8?" Nah, it was just a cloudy day...
Around 3 of us were running around the lot doing some tests and someone asked "Are we starting a track here or what?" :D

Hey guys, it was a pleasure to meet you Saturday. As you know, I was taking a few videos. What I intend on doing is to slowing collect scenes that I'll eventually put together on a DVD that I'll give to all. If anyone is interested in doing a little "posing" let me know. We'll just add it to the big one. I'll be adding sound bites later. Next month I'll bring all of my gear and we'll put together a real showing!
Good to see such enthusiasm for a fine auto! Yeah, Cameros and Vettes have their place too.

Woo hoo....videophreaks! :D
I'm using Pinnacle Studio 9 for my video stuff....I tried doing Adobe Premiere but the learning curve is WAY too steep...partly because I don't have THAT much time to invest in it yet, so I'm just going with what I know.
So far, I've done weddings, recruitment videos for police departments, and your average small music videos.

Blue, yeah, I have to tell you I can't count the number of evenings that turned into 3am while I chased a Premiere problem only to find out that I had inadvertently clicked a button that caused the problem. I went through the same thing when I changed from Paint Shop Pro to Photoshop. Something tells me that in the long run I'll be taking classes for Premiere.
The Pinnacle Studio 9 is a great system. I got the one with the A-D converter box because I had a ton of old High 8 videos that I wanted to work on. I just bought a Sony Video8 player/recorder so now everything I play is automatically digitized. Its great for taping directly from a TV, VCR, or any other video source.
My projects have been weddings, graduations, a funeral (that was a tough one), and most recently a project to help a guy sell his 1957 Chevy hot rod.

I'm using Video Explosion Deluxe. Have Pinnacle Studio but like VED more. Want to get Video Vegas though. I bought a twin 19" monitor system in XP so I could see more of the track layout at one time. That made editing a lot quicker. Started with my honeymoon video and also did a friend's wedding. I think video clips will be the new photo album.

My last project was to turn +100 wedding photos taken at Burning Man last year and turn them into a slide show with audio added. Premiere will allow you to zoom into different parts of a still image, so the show looks a little more alive.

The gal was 22 and the entire community knew her. Her Grandmother wanted any and everything in the way of memories about her. I knew her as well. Shooting her wasn't half as difficult as it was the rest of the family and friends.
As it turns out, there is a new, thriving business in what is called personal archiving. People now want a video of Uncle Bob before he dies. They interview him on video, have him tell all the old stories, memories, and those things that only a very old family member may remember. Then when they die the funeral and burial are added to finalize the video. There is good money to be made ($2,00 - 4,000) for doing this. Its not seasonal either as weddings and graduations tend to be.

It's that damn Zaino layer I have. It fools me into thinking my car doesn't need any washing. I felt lazy that morning that I just made some runs instead of cleaning my rims (which I usually do before a meet).
