Oh Dear, we have obviously come to the wrong forum as everyone knows it all and don't want the work.

When you see the name Glamour and Entertainment Ltd on your screens as the producers of a program please remember this thread. We will that's for sure.

We will now answer your questions before leaving you alone as we have obviously bothered some of you.

Zasker.... Yes using semi pro people is important to our project. We ourselves have worked with many so called amateurs in the photography business and in all truth they are more professional than most of the pro's we worked with and certainly not as pretentious. We were kind of hoping it would be the same in the video industry thus giving these people their chance instead of being put down all the time by pro's who are shit scared of their own asses and losing work to them. (sorry for the language but these things get my goat BIG time) We all start somewhere and picking holes in peoples post on the internet instead of being objective is petty and un-neccessary.

Turn Media... I will answer your critics 1 at a time, and again leave you alone as we obviously hit a raw nerve somewhere.

1...Why should we hire professional companies when there is no need and we can give the small guys a chance?? You do not know what is required on this work so until you do, which can be done by asking as per our post, please don't leave these types of comments.Endomol started somewhere before using big crews did they not????

2.. Sound and lighting on camera which a cameraman in my view should be able to do if he is going to shoot good footage. If he cannot see whether the shot is good or not then what use is he as a cameraman if the lights go or sound is no good in camera??

3... A cameraman with his own equipment will be totally adverse with how to operate EVERYTHING on it so why not?? Why give a guy a piece of equipment he is not used to when you don't have to?? Like i said in post, WHEN we get the right people for OUR work we will provide equipment that they will be able to use all the time thus being conversant with it all.

4... We have no wish to see peoples "showreels" as they will NOT show us how they work or the real footage they shot to get them. I could show you a showreel that a friend done and claim it to be mine could i not?? You then hire me and until i mess up you will pay me top doller to work for you?? I think not. What i said was, we want to see exactly what you are made of and how you work in situations etc etc as we want the best and want people to work OUR way and not how they want to. This will be a VERY long contract of work and we want what WE want as we are paying for it.

5.. Once again, NO WE DON'T. Your "BEST" money can buy is probably miles away from OUR best money can buy.

Good day.
I have saved this thread as a file and will refer back in time to come.
