[Jeremy Garchow] “I don’t know what you keep meaning to try and say here. How do you determine the value* of your client’s value?
“it’s a statement of principle right? I think you’re (possibly) being deliberately obtuse here? And if you are it’s a good way to force someone to refine their argument. But surely the whole point of positing a budget is declaring your value in the chain. That it presents a figure partners can consider to achieve goals? As opposed to simply declaring the hourly burn rate you run at.
A budget is a higher level object I think – insofar as it moves you up the value chain? Said someone who has no clue about any of it. But budgets look like respectability to me. Respectability and a semi-opaque process where you simply tell them what your engagement is likely to cost.

[Mauricio Lleras] “I do seem to read everywhere the display is fantastic,
haven’t gone out to see one yet,
but what about reflections?
On older Imacs this was definitely an issue,
but I know they’ve gotten better.
What was your impression?
Was it comfortable to work with
even in a well lit room?”yes it’s super comfortable – it’s a print density display around two feet wide on the diagonal.

used one for a couple of weeks, cutting in premiere and doing some AE – for what I was doing it was great, and it was an i7 with 16GB and a 2GB radeon? i think apparently there is an overhead to drive the display, it’s maybe best to stack up the specs – but everything is worth it for that display.

[Jeremy Garchow] “A job that takes 6 months to complete, can take 9 months to get paid for,”
jesus really?
This is an interesting discussion if only because I understand it from a really tiny tiny limited perspective. Freelance edit this side is daily rate. Longer term stuff is either a buyout for the gig or a somewhat reduced rate given the length of a solid long term booking.
But once a shop is even two people together they seem to immediately and generally bill as a project budget for completion. Anyone setting up a real company, as opposed to my notional company of one, has more cop on than me and the people you meet do –
but really isn’t the point with a budget that you can determine a number you rationally know somewhat exceeds not only your notional billing hours, but basically the cost to execute? You’re taking greater risks by calling a fundamental budget and relying on your competence to call a mutually correct number. also it makes life clear for the client in their organisation when selecting you for the job? Also budgets set buy in parameters? You’re drawing up an agreed definition of the goals, which they subscribe to, and then if you’re lucky and they’re corporate, their own incoherence leads to late stage overrruns as their own internal structure turns out to be a decision making FUBAR where late stage entrants start tearing up nearly agreed final pieces.I watched a good talk from a bearded design guy called “f**k you pay me” it dealt with the travails of design agencies who seem less hard headed than production companies, but even in that case, they had mechanisms to control overages where clients had a pool of revisions they could make in stages, but that at each stage they could only choose from within the set of prior notes. That they get progressively and consensually corralled in order to help control the process, and ultimately, their costs. I found it interesting like I would a documentary about mars given how likely I am to ever engage with the issue, but still – I’d like a project budget me.
And also, I think, over here a client would probably be surprised at the notion that they were kicking off a per hourly billing process for multiple personnel within a facility. I think they’d run a mile? (with the proviso that I might have mis-understood everything you’ve been saying jeremy, which, let’s face it – is a solid possibility.)https://vimeo.com/user1590967/videos http://www.ogallchoir.net promo producer/editor.grading/motion graphics

[Oliver Peters] “[Aindreas Gallagher] “except for that one thing. everything else is a nightmarish mess.””
[Oliver Peters] “One issue I see with the range-based keyframing…”
fantastic. I withdraw the exception – the keyframing is an unmitigated disaster.

[Bill Davis] “there are other aspects of the X key framing that are extremely well designed and powerful. “
Nope. there really aren’t – it’s all completely terrible.
[Bill Davis] “the range selection capability lets you define a range and duck with a single drag,”
except for that one thing. everything else is a nightmarish mess. The UN produced a study on it.
