Yes, yes, yes, and yes. The client brings me their product and ideas about what they want. I look it all over, and my team of 3 other people start finding statistics about it, consumer statistics, and any other info related to their type of product. My team is good too. Then we bump heads and come up with concepts of an ad. We narrow them down to 3 or 4, and talk to the client for their input on our ideas. If they really like one, we take it and go from there.

At this point it is creating story boards for the ad with quicky scripts. we rewrite them and rewrite them again and again and again until something trips our triggers. Before you know it, we have a 30 second script and concept ready to go. Then we contract some actors or announcers. One in the team has the duty of creating the graphics over the ad. I get final approval of the entire concept. Then call the client and get their input again. If they hate it, it's back to the beginning. But if they love it, we call studios and producers. Once they have recorded the commercial, I get to go over it and edit if needed. When it leaves my hands, it is heading to the distributers for sending to broadcasters.

Keep in mind this entire process could only take a few days, or a few months to finish. But I have never had a client turn down anything my team and I have finished for them. I have created ove 2,000 ads, and I know that you have seen many of them. We also do magazine ad layouts. This is where our photo studio comes in. Our ads are also found on billboards, and sides of buildings in cities. And every time a client is happy with a new ad, I get a nice bonus. Usually from the client's company. This pretty normal in this business. That's it in a nutshell.

Sounds like a small agency which I personally prefer. Not so many hands in the pot which keeps the chain of command relatively low. Pretty cush job; I'm jealous.

I left my agency because there was way too much bureaucracy. Everyone had an ego; it took forever for stuff to get green-lighted. And then the goddamned pecking order; all the big bosses would take the credit!!!

I can say that our company HQ is in NYC. But there are branches all over the tri-state area. Our team are from all over the area. One is from the NYC office that comes up to Norwalk when we need him. The other 2 are local. But My team is not the only one at my location. We have 5 teams, and I head one of them.

I would rather not mention the name of the company for obvious reasons. And I do not wish to name any of the client names or products. But I will say that last winter I had a nasty cold, and I took this very popular green "so I could rest" liquid. I also fly with excellence in flight. Green seems to be a popular color with us. By the way I have a nice 31 inch HDTV which is not very LarGe. I also love my laptop PC. It is loaded but not too High Priced.

time out!!! Debras a cutie that is all... You may commence.

BOOOOOOOOO windows pc! Booooooooooo! I freaking cant stand windows. I'm a mac user all the way. Fell in love with it first time I used it. I have a dead windows laptop incase I ever need to use a program strictly on windows, but I think I'm getting to the point where I might just bootcamp my mac again. I got myslef a 46 incher led TV thats adding more blindness too my already bad eyes. Gonna get to the point where imma need bifocal contacts

Oh no I dont want u to name any of your artist. I just wanted to know who you work for. I completely understand though u dont wanting to share too much info on business on a forum like this though. I never actually met a tgirl who's already seems pretty established in the art and entertainment field. You actually one in a very very few tgirl I know, well, know online I guess in this case, that dont need to fuck 20 dudes a day to pay there phone bill. I know a few very talented artist who wish they were in a position like yours. I was just hoping to network with ya, maybe be an extension of your crew if need be but I'm perfectly cool if u feel u and ur crew is str8 already. It'd be cool if we could chill and shit before I leave the northeast. I'm only here now because of family and once I do leave, I aint coming back unless its too like nyc or something for a visit. If we were to go any further I probably would have to ask anyways for ur site and possibly your Linkedin account just to make sure I'm really communicating to you and no one trynna be funny or nosey, and make sure that shit is legit and shit

So, being in the business, what's your take on Mad Men? I know that they use former ad execs as consultants on the show, and that they strive for accuracy. Obviously it's a different era, but I imagine a lot of the dynamics are the same. Are you a Don Draper? Peggy Olsen? Pete Campbell? Actually, you're probably not a Pete...more a Peggy or Don.

To be honest Max, I don't watch Mad men. I can not get into it. Actually this is true for most of the shows on TV. The best days of television were gone back in the 90's. The most intelligence on TV is from the Simpsons, and Family Guy. Those shows are genius, and tell a truthfull and powerful mesage. They emulate the true absurdity of real life. Otherwise, I watch a lot from the news channels, partly for information, but mostly for entertainment. The rest of my viewing is from DVD and BluRay or HBO and Starz on the home theater system.

180 channels and nothing on for $200 a month.

I had a MAC and it could not use many of the programs I need in the office. So I quickly became a PC girl. And if you have seen my work, you will see the quality results of my use of Windows. It hasn't failed me yet.

My team was hand picked by me. I think they are the best in the business. We know each other so well, by the time I start giving instructions, they are already on it. My guys always seem to stay one step ahead of me. When I get a bonus for an exceptional job well done, I make sure they get bonuses too. They deserve it. My bonus for my latest "Green Liquid" ad will pay off my Ford Explorer that I got new a year ago. Trust me, I wouldn't change a thing. LOL Would you?...

Nahhhh don't waste your money sweetie. Every program on the market is designed for windows. Many, (But not all) will adapt to MAC, but do not run the same. Also the internet that we are all using is owned and run by Microsoft for Windows. Again MAC's can use it but something is lost in the translation. Downloads are always designed for Windows and usually have a special link just for MAC, which again, loses something.

Steve Jobs who founded Apple, once told Bill Gates (Mr. Microsoft), that Mac is better than Windows. Bill Gates replied...SO! Which one is the world wide accepted standard?

Go with PC Mayrah. It will always work with any program or application. Mac can not say that.

My favorite line from that episode, when Homer and Marge arrive at the swank cocktail party:

Marge: Oh, Homer...look at this place! The house number is spelled out with letters!

Homer: Get used to it honey. From now on, we'll be spelling everything with letters!

I also love one of his other possible name choices, Handsome B. Wonderful.

I'll be a mac user till they put me in the pine box. Any DOS based system like windows is a bitter filing clerk's revenge on the world. Mac is fully intuitive and credits its users with intelligence. And it is still streets ahead as an aid to musicians.

I agree so much. Mac are SOOOO much more intuitive for artist, thats why u see alot of them with it. Im talking all artist, music, computer, actors, photographers. I can argue this mac vs pc debate till the day I die

Still in Philly guys and taking a break to see what is happening here.

An Apple rep tried his absolute best to convince us of the same thing 2 years ago. We gave them all the spec sheets of the programs we use. One week later, the Rep said that they could not accomodate us. When we asked why, he said, our programs are too sophisticated, and their system can not handle many of the protocols and codecs of our programs. He said, 2 of our editing programs require a CPU chip the doesn't exist from Apple.

So we stuck with Windows, and continue to make the highest quality Super HD video, 20 channel digital audio, digital HD phtography, and digital 2,650 color graphics. And our quality of editing features can not be beat. Our commercials and photo ads are respected by our clients worldwide for quality. Our computer are mostly HP with some by Compaq.

Macs are really good for graphic designers, and pretty good for music software (a bit down to taste on that one)

Don't get me wrong. Many studios use MAC and love them. It depends on what you want a computer for. For basic users that just want to get on the web, save pics and run a word document software, the Windows PC is the best choice. It is 100% compatible with all software, and the web. I know that MAC has some great software for music makers and certain video editing. But for the big guns in the high end of commercial production, Windows can handle all of the software available and MAC can not.

Dont take this the wrong way when I say this, but, what in the blue hell are ya'll creating that is too sophisticated for the mac to handle? Dont get me wrong, I know some programs are for windows only at the moment, but in most cases nowadays, there's alternative programs that's capable for both mac and pc that will create the same quality of work as any other program. Unless you're doing something very, very specific project based and the only program that can perform a specific task are for windows only, I can almost bet I can match the quality of work you and your crew do using the basic industry programs, especially if it comes to photo editing. Nowadays photoshop, nuke and color can get the job done. Same goes for motion graphics and graphic design. If we talking 3d now, I know theres some programs that is only for windows that can do certain specific things to get the job done, but those are very rare stuff. I can create the next advatar movie with the same quality of work or better just using my mac, and some RED cameras

I dont wanna start a whole mac vs pc debate, Im just throwing in my say so. I gotta defend my mac. I know lotta people still use and prefer windows, ewwwwww, plus they can be cheaper than macs, easier to build a good setup and shit for cheap, but I like my mac. No viruses, easy to navigate, led bright ass screens, intuitive, no need to download or buy all these dumb ass virus protectors and computer cleaner crap.

Got to get to bed. Big day coming up in Philly.

Our programs were written to specific specs just for us by Microsoft. We paid through the ass for them too. We can connect 2-way to our NYC office and share the work live. Even the super HD. It is done through the north east fiber optic system. We have editing features that nobody else has. We don't use the regular internet so we don't worry about viruses. We also use only LED screens. The color and brightness to contrast ratio is amazing. Especially with the Super HD video and graphics. I can manipulate almost anything on screen with the coolest joysticks you have ever seen. I have never seen joysticks like these before. The have a feel and action that almost feels like they are alive. We could make a full length Pixar style movie with what is in my office. I can take a Super HD still pic of you and turn it into a lifelike moving charactor, that would look like the real you. Sort of like the CGI in the movie "Beowulf" but better. Our entire system combined can hold up to 950Quadrabytes of data. There is a separate room on the 6th floor just for the mainframes, servers, and back-up system.

I haven't even touched the the best stuff. It would take hours to type it all. When the final products are converted down from Super HD to 1080p HD playback for distribution, they are the sharpest and most perfect product on the world market. We also have equipment to convert to the 18 other digital HDTV formats in other countries around the world.

Hey! This is not a PC vs MAC thing. Each format has it's pros and cons. But you use what serves you best. But I was telling Mayrah about what would serve her best for a basic home computer, and PC serves that purpose better because of it's 100% compatability with hardware and software. We were not talking about elaborate production studios. That is where one format or the other may be best for specific reasons and needs.

Good night guys.

Hey my first thread has broken 300 posts, and I was number 300. How about that.

See ya.

Im loaded off of caffeine right now. I wish I can go to sleep now.

Well it sounds like u got a legit set-up going on. Got me even more interested in wanting to work with ya. I'm still offering a helping hand but if you dont feel you need another person or u cant trust me, hell go with your gut feelings, I'm not forcing nothing upon ya. I'm all about networking and wouldn't mind adding u to my network of pple. Seem like u know ur stuff and I love working with enthusiastic pple. We know this a pretty small industry and if u working with Microsoft, odds are we might bump heads one way or another eventually. Gotta admit though, sounds like u have a hell of alot of expensive stuff just for a crew of 3 people. I'm not doubting you though, just sounds like something big studios would have.

As far as Mayrah, I still would say go mac. I mean, go pc if u want something cheap and want to get it repaired 3 hours after u buy it, but macs can handle all the basic needs a average person will need. I have no problem with simple shit like internet, typing up shit, opening up and reading documents, searching for lost/misplaced documents. Windows is more of a headache if u ask me. Mac was created/enhanced by a team of artist

As I said before, the equipment is for 5 teams of 3 to 7 people each. And for the NYC employees when they come up to our office. We also have branch offices around the tri-state area, that send people here.

My decisions have nothing to do with trusting you. We just have a full house right now, and don't need anyone else.

That is just not true and you know it. Everyone in our office has the same HP laptop that I use. We run them hard with large programs. Not one of them have ever crashed or even had a simple problem in the 3 years since we got them new. The only things we have had to replace are the batteries and a few chargers. And I can not understand why anyone would think navigating Windows is any kind of a headache. One or 2 clicks to access any program I have is not difficult or time consuming. The menus are grouped into categories and easy to use......In the past 12 years, Windows has made upgrades and advances to be as easy to use or easier in many cases, than the MAC OS.

MAC may have been created by artist, but PC was created by the consumers, and still is. PC is based on what consumers want. That is why they are prefered 24 to 1 world wide, and 30 to 1 in the USA. There is a very good reason for those ratios. You can never beat 100% compatability with all software, hardware, and the web. In 100 years from now, MAC will still not be able to make that claim.

Of course. I love that kind of humor. My sick side pops it's head up every so often. And the first time I saw your avatar, I lost it laughing my ass off.

And thanks for the welcome. I can push my way through the madness and find the few nice people to have fun with.

Well thank you James. That's very sweet.

I have already bumped into a few of the knuckleheads. I try to tip-toe around them so they don't notice me. Shhhhh.....

Thanks for the comments Debra and Sir! My reason for wanting one is just to fool around on one of these things, see whats its like on a mac.

Ive rebuilded or started from scratch for years with my pcs, upgrades etc and its always been with windows and at some point you wonder about apple systems.

Well, at least a brief debate about pc vs mac is so much better than another "who's gay" thread that spirals into all-out race war. This place is getting worse and more extreme with every day that passes.

To be honest, for typical home computer usage, you probably won't notice any difference between them. The main deciding factor for me was the 100% compatability with everything I could buy or download. MAC falls short on that issue. So the decision was easy for me.

Here's an example. Both formats can surf the web. But on the MAC, many sites load up looking slightly different with certain fonts, or colors. Some even have a different layout of a page. If you only use a MAC, you wouldn't notice the changes or even care. But the Windows version shows the web pages correctly because they are the same format.

Also. downloading from the web can change a few details of the download material. The reason is that the web is Windows based, and has to convert the download to MAC codecs. Sometime things get lost or changed in the translation from Windows to MAC.

It's the little thing like that, that bugs me. A friend of mine used to have a MAC. We compared my laptop to her MAC side by side. We both logged onto the same website. Her screen was missing a link, changed the font of the header, and one of the photos would not load. It was a empty box with a tiny red "X" in the corner. We tried to refresh the page, but it came back the same way. After she saw the difference, she got a PC with Windows. She later said how so many websites look different now.

So honey, you decide which you want. Just use some common sense. 100% compatabillity or not.

I understand the point you're making, which is essentially that eventually pc will win out because it is more popular, sells better and is therefore consequentially and by default more compatible. That doesn't mean it's the superior technological solution, however. I love mac because it is intuitive and at its heart has a greater focus on the user. The PC is all about the power of sheer numbers.

Why drive a chevrolet when you can afford an audi?

But you have to ask your self, WHY is it more popular? Today's windows are intuitive. They can do just about anything you want. The software is there and it's compatible with all of the hardware. Being 100% compatible and just as intuitive, actually does give it the edge in technology. If MAC could do it better, they would be the biggest with consumers. My office chose all Windows systems because MAC could not handle our needs or our programs. And the price alone would have cost 72% more.

Steve Jobs (Mr. Apple) himself once said that he knows he will never out-tech Microsoft. It is one of the reasons that Apple started focusing more on other technologies like wireless devices.

And you can not make a comparison like a Chevy to an Audi. Maybe a BMW to an Audi, or a Chevy to a Ford. The MAC is far from that kind of comparison.

Hahahahaha.... That's funny bro. I've never seen that before.

And for the record. MAC has had it's share of viruses to. They are not immuned. When 78% of the computers in the world are PC based, they naturally become the target.
