Hey Trygve,

Do you do all of your work freelance, or do you work for a production company?

Well...ummm..."yes."

I suppose what I do is closer to freelance: I work for a bunch of people and companies, some of which I own all or part of. (So, for example, I do a lot for Inferno Film Productions and Asgard Entertainment, but I'm also a shareholder.) The sorts of things I do are pretty random--I might be doing acting and stunts during the day and then work on editing their promotional material through the night and, of course, fixing everybody's computer problems on and off the set. (Oh, well; I suppose if I didn't get roped into fixing everybody's technical issues--whether computer, sound, or video--I'd end up doing something silly like hanging out off-camera with a bunch of nubile, young actresses between set-ups.)

A lot of what I have to do is get films ready for sale to distributors. There's a lot more involved than just shooting a movie, you've also got to produce material that will make film buyers want it (which is not the same as what you'd present to the general public) and you have to create the elements necessary for the distributors to deal with censorship and regulatory issues, produce dubbed and subtitled versions, and produce distributable versions from whatever master format(s) they need.

Then I get to play "salesman" for the results. Some films I get a piece of (in a lot of independent films, you just get a piece of the profits...assuming there ever are any) and for others I work on commission. I just got back from the American Film Market, which is the world's biggest. I've got some pictures from it in my November Blog and a more thorough writeup of February's Film Market in which I ramble on about the wonders of selling international film rights.

That's probably far, far more information than you'd actually wanted, but I think I'll go ahead and hit "reply" anyway instead of editing it down to a more reasonable size.

Let's see yours!

That's very cool--what all equipment do you have there? (I know I should recognize these things, but I don't always.)

Here's mine --obviously it's a lot more cluttered and messy.

Wow. I bet you've got over a mile of cabling in there. :Q

Tell me about it--and that picture was taken after I'd picked up all the not-currently-in-use mound of cables that accumulates behind the equipment. It doesn't help that everybody likes coming up with a new and different kind of connector for their equipment (e.g., JVC has a version of S-Video cabling that's different from everybody else's) so I need yet another adapter or converter.

(Plus it's 200 feet as the cable runs from here to the server room.)

Heh, yeah I've seen that picture floating around the web and tell people that it's actually my desk too. Just like when you just did it, people fell for it every time thinking it actually was my desk.

So his entire website is BS too?

Indeed.

But I found the image on the middle monitor in the picture hosted on Inferno Film's website, which is linked to from his website and which he claimed to work for. So either he's fabricated his entire e-self, or the desk is his, and Nik is pwned.

 

[dartworth]

i'm sure it is the latter...as usual

 

[mobobuff]

Incidentally... I think Trygve would look better bald.

More macho, and yet more friendly.
