Hi everyone, I recently purshased a Marshall 7" VR70P-HDSDI lcd monitor, and would like to add an Anti-reflective coated screen to it. Unlike the VR65PHD 6.5" HD Marshall the 7" unit does not have a glass front/protective screen. Just wondering if anyone has experiences in this...basically trying to improve (even slightly) how the unit performs under mixed lighting. The resolution seems quite good for the price, however I've heard of people adding 3M or off-the-shelf AR coatings/glass to portable LCDs for location work. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks a bunch, Mike Harris

Hi everyone, I am looking at moving to Europe myself and was wondering about rates... I know this is always a sensitive topic, but thought I would ask as a point of reference for a flyer operator with flyer rig. I know not every job is the same and many of us (myself included) can and should work our way up...until we build a name and reputation for ourselves. Regardless here in Canada for indie work, normally CDN $300 day for an operator and $250 day for flyer...obviously sometimes less / sometime more but that is a normal rate for an fairly experienced operator. (That's approx $350 Euros a day). Obviously the operators working in 35mm motion pictures get a higher day rate and kit rental. Does this sound right, or on the low side (compared to Europe)? I realize supply and demand is an issue...depending where you are located. Not to mention the cost of living over in Europe. Any comments on rates would be appreciated. Not looking for anyone to give away their secrets, just hoping for a "better idea" of what to expect. Thanks for any help or further discussion. These boards look to be a great source of information for the community. Many thanks, Michael Harris
