  • it bothers me when I hold the door open for a lady at 7eleven and she doesn’t say thank you.
    I’d return that with a you’re welcome and often still offer it when they ignore the kind gesture.

    Export qicktimes they can use from FCP. If you don’t have the proper avid codec, the animation codec at best settings will work.

  • “you’re welcome” closes a conversation wheras “thank you as well, when will I see you again?” begins one that helps your bottom line.
    I hear ya. I say you’re welcome when someone is welcome to somthing I give away, not when I trade services for currency. I thank em for that.

    It’s amazing how many items are hopping on the “green” bandwagon, from cars that get less mpg than a Datsun in the 70s to a plastic electronic device.
    It’s really not unlike a beer advertising as healthy.
    lol
    Some advertisers are convenced they lead consumers or can fool them. It’s why so many agencies are so temporary.

    Creativity should be the easy part of the gig. Having time to do what you’d like to should be your challenge morew than not not having ideas. It’s an art. Don’t make it a template.
    You are not going to find inspiration for great video in an article, man. I think most here will admit their cable bill is a write off because MTV is their research. Even now that it has no music videos, it’s low budget scripted reality over and over can be a great lesson on what not to do as a producer and a great bail out as an editor. Most of the time, their editors produce as they go. This makes for a creativity that feels like a randomness when watching. While this is why you can’t watch for entertainment, it’s also why it’s great as research. From great grahic looks to a reminder that 1k tone is waaay overused as a crutch, you still want your MTV today.

    wow
    by comparison, the beer spot I just worked in which a poor stunt man was levelled by a poodle behind the wheel somehow falls flat now:

    We sure are a funny society. In any other part of the world we’d be like “check it out… a dead guy once lived here.”
    and they’d just be all “yeah. So who lives there now?”

    Negotiations warrent a counter offer. When bad things happen, alternative solutions are usually welcome. Now, I know of no excuse to ever miss a deadline and I certainly never have but when a drop out happens in a key shot, I just remove it. No need to bring the client into it at all, in my eyes. Should the Avid die in session, I just tell em what happened and I work the double or tripple shift required to make everyone happy. I do not soften the blow. I tell them it’s dead if it’s dead. I just let them know the deadline will be met anyway and they will have no extra costs. That’s all they really care about in the end.
    I think your question revolves around how much ya want something. I have had bad circumsyances come up in a production that the client never knew anything about because it was not their problem. At the same time, I once had a mother of the bride ask why her daughter looks fat and I told her it was because she was fat. In one instance, the goal was to remain seemless and worry free. The other was my way of telling a lady to scram.
    It’s all in what ya want.
