- Hi Todd.

- It sounds as if there's a funding problem (which I can certainly understand)
- for you right now with regard to your graphics system. If I were you and I
- wanted to put together a quality demo, I would consider having someone with
- good gear render it for me. Most demos have too much filler stuff anyway,
- so pick your best 3 minutes worth of stuff, and hook up with somebody that
- has a PAR/PVR and Betacam SP. Learn how to send them your scenes/objects,
- and pay them to give you the results on tape. You will then have a good
- master to edit or dub from, and will still have lunch money. This might
- get you far enough to show your stuff, get some work, and buy your own
- dad-gum PVR!...
