“Loss of concentration? In Bucharest? Must be all them Romanian chicks! Only reason Walter Murch could concentrate in Romania was cuz he had Nicole to stare at for eight months.

I do agree with the eating / (even driking) thing inside the studio facility. However, keepe a clean work space might prove to be quite a challenge sometimes when there’s a large amount of work to do, people coming and going out of your suite etc. etc. Also, sometimes people fall into the other extreme where they put cleaning first and work last. It’s some kind of cleaning/ ordering mania of some sort.

Yes, I am considering having a second person here but this is also dependent on the perspective of my employer as I do not own the studio. I do not enjoy very much the term “asistant” as I don’t see myself as the top notch kind of editor that has “asistants” but rather just a person who needs some backup. Also, I usually like to work on a project alone and let the other persons handle completelly different projects. Each person has his / her own style of work, naming conventions etc. etc. and I think that, as long as the projects are not huge, two persons might sometimes generate more chaos than bringing eficiency to the workflow.

“It’s interesting that the people I know who are the most successful in my eyes are doing something that they’re good at, but they don’t “love” it. I do what I love 18 hours a day, and weekends…crazy hours…laptop runs at home on projects, etc”
That was my exact thought. Didn’t find the words for it.

“Burnout can be caused from loving what you do too much.”
This might turn into a delicious philosophical debate. Anyway, until then, I for one don’t think that I experience a *creative* burnout, but just phisical exhaustion that is also taking its toll on the intelectual side. Technically, I still have ideas and can find solutions but with very reduced performance.

“He who has a ‘why’ to live, can bear with almost any ‘how’.” – Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)
Don’t live to work, work to live.
”I totally agree with this. I have my familliy and friends that offer me a fine refuge, it’s true, I don’t have any kids (or wife for that matter). I think Mark hit the spot closer to what I meant, although all you guys had some valuable feedback. I think my fatigue is *mainly* but not only due to overnight work, idiot clients (but these cannot be avoided) and an overall rushed lifestyle. The water thing is true I believe as I was already told that by many people. I also had the fluorescent lights in my office replaced with incandescend a few months ago.
Work’s for machines anyway. 😀

Avid has a pretty handy script integration tool. It uses standard, long established scripting / continuity notations. Here’s a quote from Avid’s help file:
Explanation of Symbols
Each vertical line drawn through the scene represents a single take from the moment the director says “Action” to the moment the director says “Cut.” Each scene might require several camera angles and positions, with one or more takes, all of which are lined and identified alphanumerically.
The following is a brief summary of the lining techniques and numbering system shown in the example in Lined Script Basics:
Master shot: The line labeled 33/1 is the master shot that usually covers all the action in a wide shot. The first number in the label indicates the scene number as written on the script (scene 33). The number following the slash indicates that this is the first take captured on film for the master shot. A second take of the master shot, for example, would be labeled 33/2.Additional setups: The lines for each subsequent camera setup within the scene are labeled with the scene number (33 in our example) followed by a letter for each setup (A, B, C, and so forth), followed by a slash and the number of the take within that setup. These lines can be any length, depending upon what portion of the script is covered by the particular shot.
Off-screen dialog: The jagged lines in the script represent the parts of dialog where the actor is off screen. For example, the character Mary Sue is off camera during the action described in the second paragraph (when the waitress character enters), so a jagged line is drawn through the shots that cover Mary Sue (33A/1 and 2).

Also check if there’s enough space left on your drives. Word has it, that drives that have less than 30% free space left are biased to slow down.

More precise.
Go into the Decklink HD Pro Settings. On the right side of the window check if HDTV Downconverter is set to “OFF”. -
I have used the JKL keys in PPro with succes. The only problem was Premiere related and it resides in the fact that, unlike Avid, when I pressed J+K combination or K+L, I didn’t get a slow scrub but I tremendous REW for FWD as far as I remeber. As Luke stated, this looks to be a disk speed issue.
