I have seen contracts where the production company lets the responsibility of legal copyrights to the client. I don’t remember the exact words but it was something like this:

“The client is responsible to get the legal rights of any music or images used in the production”

If you want to add a “poster frame” to your Quicktime movie, so it shows only a preview of it until you click it, and you need to add the source of your movie in the href parameter.

A full explanation of this can be found on Abram’s tutorial on embedding Quicktime moves.

I wonder what other functionalities you want from a video site.

[Nick Griffin] “Here is where I completely disagree with Fernando. Certainly not on every little detail, but I can’t think of a single major project that I can look back on and not come up with ideas of how I would do something differently or try to improve. Call it personal growth or professional curiosity, I think this is essential to moving forward, getting better and not getting bored.”

I totally agree with you, Nick. It’s just that years ago I got frustrated all the time. Now I made peace with the process and learned to love the finished product. It helps to sell it!

Humbly:

How do you manage your speed?
Experience.

How do you avoid distractions?
I don’t. I get distracted all the time, but I try to get back to work a minute later.

How do you keep it organized in your mind and not lose it while multitasking.
I don’t keep organized in my mind. I keep track on paper.

How do you explain to your boss the time wasted on technical problems and computer freezing and conversion problems…
I never explain myself unless asked to. If asked, I tell the truth. Never explain a failure, because you’re not allowed to fail. Giving an alternative solution it’s better.

Are you ever satisfied with the final edit?
Always. Maybe because I love my work.

What do you do when your taste is “simplicity”
I never use my taste in a job. I try to use what it works for the project (and consider myself lucky if that’s also the client’s taste).

How to become more technical, what to read, what softwares to use?
User manuals are great. Following threads in forums like HERE and always trying to answer them it’s a great way to be ahead of problems.

Can you be an editor and HATE motion graphics and graphic design in general?
You are allowed to love. Or learn to love.

Where can I ask my silly questions about editing without being judged? like …
The COW forums.

It will be a list of items with a text field for quantity?

huevos ( 1 )
jamón ( 5 )
tocino ( 3 )

If that’s the case, then you can simply send the number, then in the results page you can do the math to display the final value (price * quantity).

Did I get it right?

Without looking at your Form code all I can say is that you should ask to your ISP for a contact form mail code. Different host services could has different restrictions.

With this said, the content of your message is assigned in the variable $text, so you should add all the info you need to that variable to be sent.

I hope this helps

Your concerns are right, both things can happen.

If you will not be moving the camera from place you can go full green screen and just replace the floor in post.

For any move you’ll need some marks on the green screen to track. Triangles, squares, crosses and angles in the wall are good for tilt and pan, but if you have a dolly you may want to add some extra marks (different color) on a tripod to do a 3D tracking.

I hope this helps

How can a film transfer give you motion blur? You mean adding it in post?
