Jeremy Garchow
Maday Productions, Inc. Chicago, Illinois USA
Residing in Chicago, IL, Jeremy Garchow (JeremyG to the herd) has been in and around the production industry his whole life. Many of Jeremy's family members work in corporate event planning and production and Jeremy was fortunate enough to tag along to some of these events as a young child. He believes that during these trips, his interest and inspiration for getting into production first began to sprout. He's been working very hard on his production career for the past decade starting out in college as a part time edit's assist, a lucky position at a reasonably young age. After asking all the questions he could possibly ask and sitting behind an editor for the better part of three years, Jeremy was promoted to Editor after completing a BA from DePaul University. Upon moving on to his current digs at Maday Productions, Inc, Jeremy has been working on high end corporate communication pieces, commercials and promotional material for clients like Harley - Davidson and also local spots for Chicago based businesses. Jeremy also completed a documentary headed up by a budding Chicago producer for PBS in late 2006.
Jeremy is extremely excited to be a part of the Creative Cow leader's team. At a turning point in his career, Jeremy was looking to spend money in training and classes to further his already healthy working knowledge of video production, and then he found the Cow. When affordable HD production was first hitting the scene in Chicago and the advent of Final Cut Pro HD, Jeremy took it upon himself to figure out how it all works, taking financial and social risks in the process. The Cow was there to help him through the rough patches and he could not be more grateful to this community as it not only offered the kind of knowledge that he was seeking, but it was offered for free by working professionals. In return, Jeremy has offered advice and also still asks many more questions in the past 3 or so years he's been browsing the Cow forums. Recent productions include videos for GE (corporate), Harley-Davidson (corporate/commercial/promotional), Kellogg's (corporate), Home Depot Supply (corporate), Wilson Golf (corporate/commercial/promotional) and the National Runaway Switchboard (Promotional).
Jeremy tends to ask a lot of questions when responding to Cow queries as he is truly trying to get to the heart of the issue. Questions are why forums exist and Jeremy is glad to have the place to answer these questions while simultaneously learning about new and emerging post-production techniques and technologies at the one and only Creative Cow.

Creative COW Leader Jeremy Garchow is one of the COW's most frequent posters. "I work in Final Cut Pro all day every day," he says, "and often all night too. These are a few of the issues I've found with Final Cut Pro 6. I assume that Apple will take care of these soon, but until then, here are some tips to help you watch where you step."
Jeremy Garchow's business is growing. So was his storage, and the potential for disaster. SATA array are less expensive, but were they safe, even with redundancy?
