[Rhodes22-list] Instructional Videos

[Lou Rosenberg]

>>  Bob,

    In regard to sailing videos, I have actually never seen one of the 
professional ones out there.
    Blonde jokes and Rhodes22 models aside for a moment, If you get 
the demand for the product first in terms of  students and 
prospective clients who will PAY for a video that instructs  them in 
basic and advanced techniques as well as some navigation and good 
seamanship, then I think you go ahead and book a professional who can 
do the product YOU need at a cost you can afford.  To go out an try 
to learn edit software to the point where you can turn out a 
professionally looking product is not a great idea in my opinon.
  I shoot for NYU during the week and shoot events and anything else I 
can on the weekends.
  I do have some friends I could impose upon in the St Louis area in 
the future if you decide to give me chance.
   Mixing interactive with video is also possible as long as you are 
not thinking of putting it over the net, as that just complicates the 
matter.  A DVD could have options which show what happens when you 
accidental jibe or how to tack instead of jibing when winds dont 
permit jibing.. etc.
  I shoot all digital with broadcast quality SONY cameras and edit 
with Apples FinalCut Pro software which I have been using for over 
4yrs.
   all the best
  now as far as blondes and models,
  Some of the best sailors I have met have been blonde women who could 
sail rings around anyone in the bay, lake or river in their LASERs 
and racing equipped SUNFISH, come back to the  dock and still have 
time to  put on their make up and  toenail polish before we catch up 
to them:)
