Why Buy instead of rent?
Jim and I have occasionally been asked why we don't start a rental
business. We've given it some thought.
We have learned that much of the value of our video
workshops is that each time it is viewed the artist learns something new. (Yes, the same video over and
over again!) During editing, even though we've watched it dozens of times we find we're still gleaning
new points from the instructor.
We think owning videos gives artists the opportunity to view them
multiple times and gain more of the valuable information they contain. Having the workshop readily
accessible in one's art library is one of main benefits of videos & DVDs. While short-term rentals
allows a preview of a technique it does not allow the in-depth learning that is important.
We invested in creating video Previews of all of our titles so that you can
check them out before you buy.
Another reason we avoid renting is that we cannot assure video
and DVD quality with rentals. We want to be sure that every item we send from Creative Catalyst is the
highest quality we can make it so that you have the best learning experience. We have seen many
returned VHSs and DVDs that have been poorly handled in just one customers hands. (We've even seen
casettes filled with cat hair, and lots of scratched and fingerprinted DVDs.) We want to spend our
limited time bringing talented new artists to you rather than testing returned videos and DVDs.
Sales of our videos also provides artist royalties to all of the
artist/instructors. We think this is an important goal that renting would not accomplish.
So that's our thinking for now. Thanks for listening... Lynn
