Editor’s Dilema

[Scott Thomas]

There’s a great book on game theory I read many years ago:

After this thread, I think I need to go reread it.

Really Bill? Every time? Bet you’re the life and soul of the party.

Bill, the sky is blue.

Bill, grass is green.

Bill, your name is Bill.

[Glen Hurd]

Dense Runyon poetry – never thought of it that way, but as usual, you’ve nailed it.

Brendan: Throw one at me if you want, hash head!
I’ve got all five senses and I slept last night.
That puts me six up – on the lot of you!

Or . . . sometimes it’s just stacato funny!

Brendan (sarcastic): . . . You got heart kid. How soon can you be in Minneapolis?
Brad: Yeah?
Brendan: Cold winters, but they got a great transit system.
Brad: Yeah?
Brendan: Yeah.
Brad: Yeah?
Brendan: There’s a thesaurus in the library. Yeah is under “Y” . . . . Go ahead, I’ll wait.

Brick was cut on FCP, btw.

Looking forward to Looper. 🙂

Right on the money Jules. I was loving this thread right from Glen’s great start, then the principal came in and wrecked the party. It was my favorite thread in recent memory too.

Well. nice job anyway Glen – a great concept that had everybody giggling. Well, almost everybody.

Lots of false assumptions have to be in play for this to work.
The two most obvious:

There are actually three players in the game, not two.
Apple, the so called “Hollywood” aka Professional Editors, and the Casual Editors.

The assumption that Apple can only cater to one type of client. Almost every manufacturer, and service provider regularly sells to both the high-end elite customer, and the plain-Jane, or gray flannel customer. It is a standard business practice, and often (like in the case of FCS and Shake) not very difficult to do. Apple has simply chosen not to, hoping to cover their tracks with the fan base or the RDF.
