An idea

[Iain Robb]

Since I sm just finishing up two videos -- one promotional, one ashort story -- working with professionals, I second Barb's comments. It is expensive and time-consuming to do video well.

That said, perhaps there is room for brief You-tube-ish spots on particular segments of kiltmaking. Sometimes it helps to actually see what is meant.

I thought that my book "The Art of Contemporary Kiltmaking" would and could be done as a DVD instructional sort of thing.

That is until I checked into the actual cost of Cameraman, Sound guy, Film editor, and production costs.

To give you an example. The little short "How to measure for your Freedom Kilt" that is posted on GoogleVideo and linked on my website and in the FK section of the forum cost me almost $600.00. That's $200.00 a min. or $12,000.00 an hour.

I don't know anyone with a spare $100,000.00 that they would be willing to let me have for no interest and no return.

But hey, if someone in the film or video business wanted to come to my shop and shoot and edit the DVD I'd be willing to give it a go.
