Drew, My thoughts were along the lines of two options:
1) Investing in the equipment and renting it out on a basis comparable to other independent post production rigs. 2) Encouraging a potential member with the equipment to rent out unused time to get some return on their investment. This falls under a broader thought I had which is a way to have members rent/barter their equipment to each other to make the most out of it through cooperation. I know for myself, I have 2 large format printers that could be used by others. I think the trick there is to develop a system that isn't too cumbersome. I wouldn't advise creating a membership category for it, just an additional pay to play service. Generally, I think it would be a great ingredient to add to the community, attracting other like minds and related businesses.
