Hi. I storyboard, write scripts, and create test movies (animatics). I am hoping to share skills in some exciting projects.

Hi All!

Thought I mite be able to introduce you all a worthwhile site- our hardware distribution company (Syntech SA) has a sister e-commerce company called Digital Depot, focused specifically on providing hardware to the creative professionals such as photographers, editors etc.

Please have a look around the site and feel free to give us feedback on the product range, the structure and whether or not you would use this site for information and purchasing. It is already up and running, but in beta phase at present.

www.digitaldepot.co.za

Look forward to hearing your input!

Hi Monica
My door is also open for help.

Hi Monica, I've recently been involved in a similar start-up production company called Ngage Productions, a division of Waterfront Studios. Check out the website... http://www.n-gageproductions.com

We're basically after the same market you are, but we've taken the approach of working with others where possible. Let's talk, we've got work starting to come in, and we need to build teams around productions.

@ Claire: 4 words: Theater of the mind!
Two more words: No- students -they sap up more recourses than they input.

Hi
Do you ever have CDs or DVDs duplicated in mass?
Because of an increased need, I added this to my services.
For the rest of 2010 we will be running an introductory special on DVD or CD duplication.
Please save this PDF until such time you might need it.
