I've seen quite a few messages similar to this one in the last week or
two. People are looking for new sources of Lightwave Information. There
are a couple of new video's which look nice or you can get the Stranahan
videos at $50 each, pick up a LW book, or read VTU & LW Pro. Well now
there will be another alternative to this group. I was going to wait on
posting the following information until early next month, but since there
have been so many messages requesting noe sources, now is as good of a
time as ever. The following is an pre-release advertisement, so skip
this message if you want.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought I would take a moment to announce a new LW publication that has
been in the works for a bit now. I understand that there are now atleast
two or more other newsletter/magazine formats that will either be
complimenting or competing with LW PRO. We decided that we did not want
to compete with anybody, thus adding to the pool of knowledge, so instead
we've come up with a new Lightwave publication each month that is
completely unique. It's LIGHT SPEED : The video magazine for the
Lightwave Enthusiast. Light Speed is a Lightwave magazine in VHS format.
Basically subscribers will get a new 90-120 minute video chalk full of LW
tutorials, reviews, animations, and more each and every month. The cost
will be suprisingly low... lower in fact that ANY other LW video that I
have ever seen produced. Just like any other magazine, you'll save by
ordering a subscription. Subscription rates for a full year (12 videos)
will be $96. That is only $8 each tape under a subscription, there is no
reason why everybody can't enjoy Light Speed. Cover price will be $12.00
each if you decide to purchase them seperately.. We are able to offer
LIGHT SPEED at these great prices mainly due to special agreements with
our video manufacturer and special adertising incentives. Does this
cheap price mean you are getting a cheap product? Not by any means. You
will get turorials from talented people around the globe, many who
currently write articles for other LW newseletter/magazines. Won't it be
nice to watch or follow along on a tutorial and get the exact results the
tutorial says you'll get? How about seeing new software or hardware to
enhance Lightwave? Won't it be great to see those products in action and
see what they REALLY do versus just reading a review about them. Another
fantastic part of the video is the Animation Showcase where you get to
see what others are doing with Lightwave. I think a lot of us learn new
techniques by picking apart other peoples work. Well now you'll get to
see new anaimations each month by pro's and hobbiest's just like you and
I. Hey, you can even send your animations or demo tapes in and have them
shown on a future issue of LIGHT SPEED. But thats not all. Nope, we
plan to provide atleast a full 90 minutes of good old lightwave tips,
tricks, techniques, and more... each and every month. You should be
able to pick these video's up at most retailers that sell LW, atleast
you will be able to real soon (We are working on distributors right now),
but you can save some good pocket change and have a new issue of Light
Speed shipped to you every month (just like a regular magazine) by
subscribing. Again, a subsciption will get you each issue of Lightspeed
in vhs format at $8.00 each, and that INCLUDES shipping. Look for our
full page ad in Video Toaster user, and Lightwave Pro beginning in the
August issue (Lw Pro's July Issue). Internet users will have first crack
at Light Speed. The shipping date for issue #1 of Light Speed is July
1st, but we'll release it early to the internet sometime early June. I
hope to see you all become subscribers of this great publication. I'll
post order information when the time comes. I just thought I would let
you all know what's in store real, real soon.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BTW, If you are interested in submitting some of your original animations
to be included in the Animation Showcase on a future issue of Light
Speed, please send me mail. Do not confuse this with entries for the LW
animation video which is also being worked on currently. If however you
would like to try for both, that is fine.
For those companies out there that are interested in either advertising
their goods or having a new product reviewed, please e-mail me at
mcoats@qnet.com or call 805-945-9870.
If anybody has something they would like to see reviewed, covered, or
have a tutorial on, please forward that request to the above e-mail
address.
Approximately 6 weeks to shipping date (For you Net Surfers)
We are working on converting it to PAL and looking for a GOOD European
distributor (Any takers?). [Prices not set for anyplace but the U.S. so far].
