Just goes to re-affirm my old saying. I’d rather be lucky than good any day.
It still says it all don’t it?

[Mark Suszko] “you need to periodically go back sometimes and watch everything from the beginning, as one whole”
In total agreement on that one.

Unless specifically stated, I always delivered drop frame. That way I had my length correct, regardless of length of program.

[grinner hester] “if it’s their idea, it’s a pretty easy sale.”
Yup,
Loved the undo button on my GVG edit controller, punch in a bunch of numbers then hit undo and preview the original edit and say is that better? 99.9% of the time you got “yeh make it.”
The other .01% was “No, I think it was better before.”Charlie

I have added shots before that just didn’t work strictly because I was looking for surrealism. But then I am surreal anyhow.
Slow motion to fill a continuity gap that is only 3 or 4 frames short or sped up for the other direction is also one I have used many times, and I can’t count the number of times I have edited in the middle of words to change an inflection.Charlie

[Chaz Shukat] “Now go back to retirement and don’t come out again! :)”
But I get bored. I have to come out ocassionally, and spout out words of wisdom gained from my many years of experience.

Or you could always do the editing standing on your head. 🙂

I would never call these techniques cheating. I have many times took dialogue from one scene and inserted into another, one was visually better and the other had better audio. I have many times used reverse action to change the emotion as Mark said. If done correctly and carefully, you can hardly ever tell the difference. If it can be distinguished, I don’t do it. I mean, why do they call it editing and art, if ya can’t play with it.

I have sent out mpg2, MOV with animation codec, and uncompressed AVI’s. The latter two are extremely big files so you usually have to cut them up into small chunks to get them on data DVD’s. The alternative is to send a tape, jsut find out what format they prefer, that you have access to.

[grinner hester] “when ya place yourself in a room full of producers and producer wannabes, you are never the dumbest one in the room”
So well said, and so very true.
