HD For Indies

SHORT VERSION:

Hey all -

Want to know what gear to get, or what gear I recommend, or maybe support HD for Indies but don't have extra money sitting around to hire me for advice? No problem - go to the brand new HD for Indies Amazon Affiliate Store.

From there, you can buy all your usual Amazon stuff - books, DVDs (including Blu-ray & HD DVD), training materials, Macs, monitors, accessories, iPods, AppleTV, etc. etc. etc. - all with the same great Amazon price, support, return policy, etc....except that on my pages, you see what I think of the gear, you see what I specifically recommend, and if you buy from my pages, and HD for Indies gets a small commission on the sale.

LONGER VERSION

I see this as an "everybody wins" kind of a thing - if you buy stuff from Amazon, I'd appreciate it if you'd buy it through my store - you're still buying from Amazon, just that HD for Indies gets a commission. Same price, same everything you usually get, I don't see your credit card #s, etc. But I've also done a lot of sifting for you, and boiled it down to just the good/valid choices.

I have it organized by category and subcategory (see below), and I've included notes on those products that I specifically recommend (look for Mike Recommended in the notes). Just the good stuff, none of the rest of the fluff. I've gone through and scoured Amazon's bazillions of options and filtered it down to the stuff that I think you and I would be most interested in. And if there's something you'd like to buy that I don't have listed, please tell me and I'll add it to the store right away.

Aside from computer hardware and software, there's also an extensive listing of training materials, all of which I've vetted for "Is it good?" The ones that I have more intimate knowledge of and recommend most I've labelled with Mike Recommended.

Curious about what books are best for Adobe or Apple software? Want to know which HDV camcorders I recommend? Want to know what's the best deal on an uprezzing DVD player, or HD DVD or Blu-ray player? It is all in there.

So feel free to peruse the hundreds of items I've already added to the store, with more to follow:

And again, if you aren't familiar with how an Amazon Affiliate Store works, you're dealing with Amazon, just through my front end built with Amazon's tools. The pricing is exactly what you'd otherwise get from Amazon.com, I never see your personal or credit card information, it IS Amazon except that you're going through my front end, where I've organized it in a hopefully useful way for you.

This is the first of several announcements I'll be making in the next day or three. If you're interested in buying a Mac based editing system, this is ONE OPTION, but NOT the bigger deal I was hinting at the other day.
