[Chip Douglas] “I could
make a dvd about my brother but he ain’t that great a story.”If it is Ernie, it might be a very good story.
I hope someone out there gets this. Please tell me I;m not the only one.

Is this broadcast, cable, prime time, fringetime? Many variables to consider.

[Seth Bloombaum] “I’d also invoice them for the training time and issue a no charge credit for same on the invoice for the first game. In other words, get all you can out of contributing that day.”
I agree wholehearted with this. It leaves a paper trail of your willingness to be a little better at the job and can indeed lead to work down the road if this company is reputable.

Looks like most everything is covered for you, and I didn’t think of any answer as sarcasm, I just didn’t want you to think we got so carried away we forgot you.
Hope everything works well for you.

Why? I have no idea. Standard color bars have the white bar at 100%. SMPTE bars are the best since they have the upper part same as 75% bars with the white bar at 75%, plus adding the bottom section with white at 100%,with I and Q on each side and 7.5% black with the little black stripes at 10% and 5% which gives you a nice monitor black setup.
Originally there was only color bars with the white bar at 100% and black at 7.5 IRE.
In trying to remember, it seems that 75% bars came about roughly the same time as 3/4 acquisition. Now don’t quote me on this, cause been too long for my feeble brain to remember but I believe it was so you could setup the 3/4 playback easier since the tapes had a tendency to clip at 100%. There may be someone out there that remembers better than I do, and if there is I would love to hear either confirmation or difference with my memory.
Anyone remember exactly?

Dave,
This brings up a big point. When we went color at our station in the late 60’s. The chief engineer said, “The first person I find setting or matching cameras to a monitor can pick up his check.”
At that time we all learned how to use a scope to it’s fullest extent. I have never regretted that learning process. I do all color correction to a scope, all setup to a scope. I look at the monitor to see what I have after it is all setup and corrected.
Monitors can drift or need setup. Once calibrated correctly, a scope is GOD.

You can go cheaper, but you made a good choice, Leader or Tektronix. Not much else that I would ever buy personally.

I found it to flow nicely. As you will find, no two editors will totally agree with just about anything, that is what makes us unique and creative in our own way. I didn’t find the music too hot at the end, I felt it built nicely for dramatic impact, I personally would have mixed the music hotter earlier and in that way it would not have felt as tho you were not sure about the music. I prefer hotter mixes so as to be bold about the music eing a part of the feel, instead of just being a backgroud bed. I felt the cut in Dr. Srangelove was very dramatic as you could see his thoughts before he started to talk.
As I said you are who you are, I am me, and they are who they are. None of us will ever agree totally on any production. Be yourself, do what you feel, make it memorable, even if someone does’t agree with you, make them want to see more. Never take criticism as gospel.
If we were all the sae and thought the same and did everything the same, life would be soooooooo boring.Charlie

I have one, I wouldn’t recomend them. They are more like a bench scope than a broadcast scope. I didn’t buy it and I wouldn’t have bought it.
