I sent the patent Jeff Kafer "Response to noobs and wannbeeeeeees" and the man wrote back that he didn't have the money to set out on the road to VO heaven. In my response this was the best example of the road ahead I could conjure up.
"It's not impossible but it is a bit of a hard climb. If you talk to most newly qualified pilots they would like to fly the Airbus A380 but as there are only 70 odd in service at the moment the chances of that happening are pretty slim. Most VOs (especially men) would like to do Movie Trailers whereas there are only about 7 people in the world doing them on a regular basis." |

That, my friend, is a splendid analogy.

Cut and pasted onto my bulletin board. Thanks, Philip, it's been kind of a rough week

... and those 7 people doing Trailers are not likely to get hairline cracks.

| He thanked me and then, in effect, said that he'd look elsewhere for the lazy man's way to riches. |

lol. I guess it sorts the serious from the 'get rich quick' types.

And it is THAT bit that makes me push on toward that goal, whether I get there or not.
