    Dana,

    You need to go to the TV station that aired the project and tell them what this guy is doing. They would very much want to know about it. But first, have your lawyer send him a warning letter telling him that you intend to go to the TV station if your dough is not in your hands within a week. That should get him motivated.

    Sean,

    Explain exactly how you’re going about the duplicating. What software are you using for the duplicating and how are you attempting to use it??? Without knowing the steps you’re taking we’re assuming we know what you’re doing.

    No, not if you’re imposing a lien on it, which you are entitled to do for non-payment. At least thet’s the way it works in California thankfully.

    Gary,

    After getting burned a few times myself over the years, I now have a very simple business model. I get paid every Friday at the close of business. This way no bills ever accrue for more than five or possibly six days, and the bad guys show themselves very early on in the process. Adopting this model has cut the BS to a minimum for me, and my cash flow has certainly improved.

    Mark,

    I agree, that was one of the best infomercials I ever saw. Higer production values than many high-budget features. That was created by a group up in Portland, Oregon (name escapes me now) that I worked with once. The fellow who wrote that infomercial one was the best thing about that company. He quit shortly before I shot a MetRX spot for them. The shoot was a complete fiasco because they had no script. I believe they folded soon thereafter. Just goes to show ya how important the writer is…

  • That’s easy, 10-bit uncompressed is best, however, 12 layers is a lot of layers.

    I’m convinced there is a field issue in FCP with text crawl in the Boris app. I tried everything under the sun to keep it from flickering and hopping. Ultimately I used Combustion in frame mode (deinterlaced) to create the crawl.

    Nick,

    Therein lies a big part of the problem. Too many rely on one click fixes without knowing and understanding what they’re actually doing or why. Not syaing that pertains to you, just that it does apply to many.

    November 17, 2005 at 5:23 pm in reply to: Can someone explain High definition please

    Keith,

    You’re not going to be shooting High Definition with your XL1 under any circumstances, as that camera is SD or Standard Definition only. HD includes numerous 16×9 formats, each of which has several times the resolution of SD video. I suggest you read up on this subject as this is something every videographer must know. Google HD or High Definition and you will be able to read to your heart’s content.
