Hey Vegas family-
I am a 9 year Sony Vegas user, and have an interesting job coming up for a major company, based out of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

The week of September 5th I have an editing job which requires quick turnaround, and based on my Non-Disclosure I cannot say much as to who the client is or what the project specifically is, but I will be flying in to Chicago Wed, Sept 5th, and am looking for an editor/edit suite to pay/rent.

The job will be about one full evening of editing (from the time I arrive), and the possibility of me using the editing suite to complete the project the next day.

Downtown location is a plus, as our client is booking us into downtown hotels. It is also possible that I can setup a location downtown to move a system to, though that isn't preferred.

Any Chicago based Sony editors out there?

Project will require that your system handles (and I mean handles with no problems):

-HD 1080p (I usually convert HD footage from cameras to CineForm Codec), so you'd probably need at least 500 GB of free HD space as well as fast read/write
-Sound Forge (Noise reduction plugin a plus)
-Dual monitor a plus (though not necessary)

If interested reply to this post. I can be contacted at chapman@boomchicago.nl, which is my work email.

Thanks!

Matt Chapman

If you're talking about renting a suite... seems like you have the budget to buy a good laptop and install your software on it. That would be so much more convenient than using someone Else's system.
If it's only for this trip... go buy a helluva laptop, checking the return policy, then take it back when you return and complete your project.
-or-
Keep it and then you'd have a mobile system for future use.
