Ahhhh... (that's intended to be a sigh of relief) This is basically what I've been trying to say... When I first came on this list everyone was, buy an A/D converter, buy an NTSC monitor... and I almost did but I didn't really have the cash or the justification to do it. Nonetheless, I've gotten some ok work done, and when I need it I rent or borrow. As it turns out nothing I've done yet (all motion graphic stuff at present) really requires accurate color or input from a source that cannot be plugged into my TiBook. So back to my original point, figure out if it's even a script, then buy the software... > And if it becomes clear that the idea better suits a > novel, bang, I'm there again in Word. Nothing like the right tools to > make > things a smooth operation, no matter how many rewrites. ________________ Matthew Guemple Art Director/03 mo.og at verizon.net 646.734.6601 www.gridd.com http://www.creativehotlist.com/ index.asp?linkTarget=fullProfile.asp&indID=19599
