We use discreet edit 5 here at my work . You're supposed to buy some bespoke Coompaq or IBM solution but we use a frankenstein monster and it works great. We used to use Avid MCXpress but edit came over better. discreet say they won't support you unless you have this hardware but so far they've been great. We're running it on NT workstation 4 (sorry) OS and the HWare spec is dual P400's with 256 RAM and 60 gig of scsi disk space. Overall including the edit sware I guess it cost approx $20k. We use after effects too - but edit also expands into paint and effect. Effect is a DV compositing tool that rocks. There are issues with the M$oft ODBC and running anything other than just edit. In short once you got edit installed and running you gotta use it standalone cos most apps (especially Outlook) will blow it to hell. Which kinda sux if you want a hybrid editing/everything else PC. Edit has lotsa functionality and is IMHO a top notch solution. But it's not a cheap one.
A friend of mine also studied with Lance (one of the filmakers) and it seems the makers of "Last Broadcast" are currently reviewing their options with lawyers. What makes them so sure they have a case?
The Last Broadcast people are also from Florida and studied above the Blair Witch guys. It is known the Blair witch crew saw the Last Broadcast and allegedly re-edited their fledgling film in lieu of the footage they had seen.
The premise of the last broadcast is so similar I'd urge any of you to try and get hold of a copy. Murder, woods, found footage all the same.
You heard it here first!
I've not seen the Blair Witch project myself. I want to re-rent the last broadcast first. I don't want to detract from the Blair guys at all - well - Ok yes I do. Credit where credit is due for "such an original storyline and concept" etc.

There was a movie out in 1997 called "The Last Broadcast" that has so many similarities to the Blair Witch it's gonna make some lawyers lots of money.
