Does anyone know what the current rate for SAG AFTRA narration for audio books is?

Hi All, Looking for some critiques on our first music video attempt. Thanks https://vimeo.com/100270508

Hey Bob. We met last night at The Table meeting. Looking forward to seeing soon!

Hi fellow Stage 32 members! Would love to start a creative partnership group here in Los Angeles/Southern California with individuals looking to connect with like-minded creatives regarding film/video projects. Personally, I'm trying to build up a producer/director's reel and would not mind volunteering in other people's projects as an assistant producer, camera operator, actor. The group could meet on a regular basis and act as a cooperative venture helping those who are looking for help with their individual projects. Let em hear from you out there!

Thanking you for the invite. You're a multifaceted talent. Very impressive. Proud to be part of your network. After 30 years in creative affairs and then acting, I'm throwing in the towel to focus on a third career as producer. It's a throw back to my education at USC/AFI in producing, but also an attempt to take control of my career/destiny. About ready launch a CABLE NETWORK LIMITED SERIES PROJECT. BIBLE is almost ready, scripts written. Just need a director of network repute and a couple of recognizable actors to include in the package. "Came out" on Stage 32 a week ago, although a member for two years. It's all a daunting effort. Keeps me waking up early. KEN B =

Thank you Dave for the connect! :-)

Is anyone out there using Sony's Ci, (Media Cloud Services)? I just checked the website and thought it was a great deal for anyone needing to share video proxies through the internet and have input from production team members who are in different locations. If anyone has any experience with this service, I'd like to hear from them.

I’d like to hear some opinions and suggestions regarding the use of color accurate monitors for editing and some color correction. I use 3 Samsung computer monitors that are color calibrated via my Spyder 2 by Colorvision. Two of them are S27A550H 27” monitors and the third is the new 4K model by Samsung, the UD28D590 all 3 are powered by an Nvidia GeForce GTX680 card . While they are all fairly accurate in representing what I’m working on, they are not truly “color accurate”. Real color space adjustable monitors by Sony, Flanders Scientific and others, start @ $2,500 which is out of my range right now. If you know of any color adjustable monitors under 1K or a clever work around , please let me know.

Hi Joseph. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 325,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.

Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, and have a creative day!

RB

Hey fellow editors! We're looking to purchase another work station here and have been considering a PC for the first time since around 2003. At the moment we are completely mac based and leaning toward one of the new Mac Pro computers. But we've started research and found that there are many folks utilizing PC computers (Fully outfitted with time of the line equipment/parts) with some success. I'm not looking for a "Mac v PC" type debate generally, there are plenty of those around (in fact one started in this lounge 2 years ago that you can find by scrolling down). But I'm very interested to know if any of you have had success editing, doing post-work, etc. on PC computers in the last year or so. And if you have what type of computer is it and what type of hardware did you get? Also, any of you have the new Mac Pro with any reviews of it? Thanks!
