"The thing about tapes, for me, is that you are tied to an interlaced codec. Interlaced was fine for DVD release, on CRT-tvs. Now consumers want progressive footage that will play on their progressive computer, 30p/24p on youtube, through their…"

I need a writer to craft a script for a project ASAP! My client, the leading manufacturer of outdoor power equipment, is having a company wide meeting and wants to intro their new safety video series, which I produced, via a humorous "commercial or trailer". Their safety manager will transform into "Double G", his rap/hip hop alter ego. If you can write, send me your info with writing samples, along with page rate.ed@corpvid.comSee More
Bill Mecca replied to Ed Tworek's discussion tapeless acquisition"The Z7 names them in sequence so you can see clip 1, 2, 23 etc but unless I had a production asst. logging I still have to import them all and then sort it out, but I guess watching, logging and capturing tape is a similar time drain.
Sony gives…"
Ed Tworek replied to Ed Tworek's discussion tapeless acquisition"Does the Z7 have meta data capability? The Panasonic's with P2 do, so you can set up a meta data naming convention and theoretically, it will show up with the clip number. I'd assume that you have a couple of HD's for your…"

Corporate Video Creations is owned and operated by Award Winning producer, Ed Tworek. Ed began his professional career freelancing in Chicago while attending Columbia College. During his freelance career, Ed trained under some of Chicago's most highly respected gaffers and cinematographers. Ed graduated with honors from Columbia College Chicago in 1998 with a Bachelors of Arts degree, majoring in television production. Ed and his wife, Virginia, children, Kate, J-T and Ann relocated to Fort Smith Arkansas, where Ed had accepted a position as a news photographer/editor at KHBS/KHOG TV. Ed progressed to the rank of Associate Producer for the morning news, while still enjoying shooting and editing video daily.
After almost 3 years in Arkansas, Ed packed up the family again to relocate to Champaign Illinois. This time for Virginia's employer. Ed found a position at WICD TV as Senior Producer Creative Services. Ed worked tirelessly producing commercials and station promotions, and in 2002, the hard work paid off. Ed earned a coveted Telly Award and a Videographers Award of Distinction, for his production "The Danville Symphony Orchestra". In addition to the hard work, Ed enjoyed a bunch of free golf, while assisting in station sponsored fundraising efforts for the Children's Miracle Network. In 2002, the family was once again in the moving truck, headed again for Northwest Arkansas. Virginia was once again promoted to a home office position for the world's largest retailer. Ed landed a position as staff gaffer with Ozark Film and Video in Springdale Arkansas. At Ozark, Ed learned the nuances of high end corporate and educational production. In addition to his gaffer duties, Ed shot video on many projects. During Ed's tenure at Ozark, he had the pleasure of traveling the U.S and Puerto Rico and Mexico to shoot. In 2003, Ed accepted a position as Technical Director at the Jones Center for Families. Ed was responsible for programming a 24 hour leased access cable channel, as well as shooting, editing and directing live and live to tape productions. In early 2004, Ed and family were once again in the moving van, headed to Chesapeake Virginia. Virginia was transferred again. Upon arrival in Virginia, Ed opened Corporate Video Creations with the purpose of providing video production to the underserved markets, those of the small to medium size businesses with limited advertising and promotions budgets. Corporate Video Creations is thriving and growing almost daily, thanks to our loyal customers.
