Hey,
I've been asked by a mate to spec an HD Video editing system for him.
He is involved with a NZ/Canada movie production and is going to be doing some editing, colour restoration, animation and sound editing etc.
I have no idea where to begin other than I assume it will need a huge amount of storage, probably a RAID5 backup system of some sort, a decent sound card/video card.
He doesn't want to go the MAC way as has used them in the past and had lots of problems.
Cheers
