I’ll grant you guys that from a production standpoint these are amazingly inept. I would, however, love to see if they actually generate business. I’m sure we’ve all created stuff that made us hold our noses that worked really well for the customer.

This thread reminds me of my broacasting teacher in the 70’s who used to say “I got out of the biz and into teaching because it stopped being fun once they invented videotape”. No matter how much things change they really remain the same……..

Awesome…….which makes me think

I would imagine that most of the superhuman elements attributed to Chuck Norris could also be applicable to our very own BZ.

I think we all share that fear/respect thing you’ve got going there.
Thanks everyone for their input. I urge anyone with experience in overcoming the “too old” thing to post their experiences here for the rest of us.

I am truly honored. To have been told to shut up and stop whining by the fabulous BZ is, without a doubt, a highlight of my recent career.

Bob I have not only admired your posts, but your attitude as well,
since I have been exposed to them. In fact I have at least 2 of your responses bookmarked and one hanging on my wall in order to supply a “kick of clarity” when I need it.

I do, however, think that your rhetoric may be misplaced in this matter. If you read the posting (not mine) which started this it would be hard not to feel as though a thread, if not a regular dialogue, would be time well spent in sharing tactics on staying employed as we age.

During my post I stated that a part of my personal strategy is to change my focus along with a few other changes I have made that were not listed. I don’t think of it as whining to think that others may have ideas to share and to ask that they comment.

Bob I wish that a laser-beam focus and mountains of determination were always going to be the answer, as they are for you, but that’s not always going to be the case. There are plenty of times when hard doesn’t mean as much as a simple great idea.

By the way Grinner, did you ever get a chance to work with the Guys on “Deadliest Catch”

Later………….Dan

Let me add something to your list Nick. I do some work for a company that puts videos of scholarship-seeking high school athletes on line.

While it used to be that everything came in at 29.97 fps the more “technically-literate” parents are now sending in 24 fps stuff in order to get that “cinematic” look. Unfortunately high-speed athletic action would seem to be the very worst place to use a lower frame rate. Oh well…….
