Danny Hays
Orlando, Florida US

Well, what can I say about myself? I'm a musician that got into digital audio as soon as I saw a computer record audio.

I work at Universal Studios in Orlando, doing In the Universal Orlando Technical Services, Show Systems dept. we use Vegas for audio and video editing and upgrading our rides and shows as needed. We are upgrading our T23D preshow video from six rear projection tv video walls to single high def projectors with single screens, and I used Vegas to simulate a six TV video wall in a single video. Universal Hollywood is already using the video in their show.

I also get to work with some top end video servers, DVS Pronto 2K and 4K in some of our new venues, up to four times the resolution of HD 19020 x 1080. One has a 24 drive raid 0 array for the source video. Thats some really cool stuff to work with.

In my home studio I focus on chroma keying. I'm a green screen fanatic, experimenting with every chomakey, Vectorkey software I can demo. I'm going to start a music video project soon where I play all the instruments along with myself using the green screen . It will take a lot of work but it will be a great learning experience.

You can find Danny Hays hosting in Creative COW's Sony Vegas , and Sony Vegas basics forums.
