Re: [PyrNet-L] Nationals video

Folks,

The problem with discussing sharing the "profits" of a National Specialty 
video is that there are none.  Our University did the 1993 video as a 
class project, and if we had rented the equipment at our regular rates it 
would have cost about 3 times all the money taken in selling 83 copies.

The Domino tapes from 1997 were very well done, but I wondered how they 
expected to make money on them.

If we have an enthusiastic member willing to donate the labor and use of 
equipment, then I think that's very commendable--but be aware that it IS 
a lot of work!  If a college or university video department can undertake 
it as a class project, that's also a win-win situation.  But don't expect 
either the host club or the GPCA to make much of a profit on this activity.

I think to be realistic we need to view the video as a service to GPCA 
members and other Pyr lovers, and not as a fundraising activity.
