OT: Vegas video editors for hire needed

Hi, any recommendations for good professional video editors that can use Vegas for multicam edits to go from 22 hours of source footage (from each of two cameras) into 7 two-hour DVDs?

I can do it, but I'd rather hire it out, for videos to be produced from my upcoming MegaSeminar.com , and for other client projects from the soon-to-launch www.Sitefomercials.com site, for using Vegas to edit finished footage.

Anyone who has lots of references on their site from corporate/business seminar clients, please email me (ken@daytradinguniversity.com) with your site URL...

Or, any recommendations for experienced video editors who use Vegas (and can give me the source vegs along w/rendered mpgs/authored DVDs as a deliverable), much appreciated.

By the way, how much (rough price range) do you all think a project like this should be bid for? I'd like to have jumpbacks/lower thirds and b/g loops, I will provide, edited into the DVDs as well.

Also that's a forum request, is there a classified/hire a videographer type of message forum that could be created here, for Vegas editors and those of us who want to hire them?

is there an 'elance.com' type site for videographers? if not, someone should create one..

thanks,

ken

Ken,

personally, I would do such an exercise only based on an hourly fee only, with an unclear number of hours (what is driven by the material - how easy it is to get the material in sync). Synchronisation of 2x22 hours takes long time, especially since consumer camcorders are not prepared to support synchronisation at all.

Two-hours DVD are a little bit long for DV-avi material - I would recommend to produce 1.5 hours DVDs.

To be able to edit the material completely, somebody would need something about 600 GB hard disk space (what is not impossible).

Unfortunately, I am located in Europe, so I will not be able to support you further.
