Anytime yu connect or disconnect firewire, ya get hickups galore. Avid techs are tired of telling people to delete their decks and remount them so they say things like capturing from a deck is more reliable. By that, they are. You’ll not get tc differences from one to the other.. just more headaches.

saving 30 bucks on paint to spend 600 extra in post is reverse of money-saving. try not to be too hard on him but try not to let him make any decisions either.
Go ahead and use ultimatte paint. You’ll love the reflective agent in it designed to help yuo in post. Heck, go ahead and light it too while your at it.
lol
feel free to fire the creative director. This is a job invented for friends of the executive producer who have no experience with anything. You’ll be listening to the director and you are suppose to just pretend to hear whatever the creative director is babbling about in the back ground. I have found grinning, nodding and a thumbs up passifies them for 30 minutes. -
like a shot log sheet?
lol
you can print a boat load of blank ones. I’d prolly not fill it in till I start shootin, though. -

Any award you have to puchase offers no rewards to me.
My greatest awards in this industry are high fives and hugs from happy clients. Who purcahses the most tellys just tells me who has the most free time on their hands. -
Big companies have to spend money much more than they have to communicate.
troof.
When I colect a five-figure check for a company for a video seen by less than 100 people, I in no way think this was worth the cost to them as far as a video. They had budgets to empty so they will be approved to waiste the same amount of money next year. Morover, when board members ask what’s been done about this or that… this is what corporate video is for.You ever watch suits no involved in the production actually watch a corporate video you made?
yeah. me either.
This is a fine example of our entire working system as a society. Never have we as a group done the best we could do to chaive the best results. As american workers, we get away with what we can, do as little as possible and leave as early as we can. We could use common sense and see a mass email could get everyone on the same page but we’ll sooner fork out 20k on a horribly boring DVD watched by all of 12 people, incuding the so-called producers’ wives.
Nobody sees more money waisted than me in my seat, looking at the boggest company in my area (as my biggest client) everyday. The more budget restrictions they recieve, the more reckless the money is spent. I’m not talking about intentional padding here either. I’m talking 4 people to make a ppt presentation that can’t be used in a video type of thing. These are not novices who don’t know legalities of broadcast. These are seemingly sane adults who have worked in this industry for decades but have managed to fake their way through it to the point their superiors, who are faking their way to the top as well, are not even aware of the BS around them.
Bosses hire friends. The friends hire the artists. The artists do the work and the friends collect the kudos.
This is the corporate world. -
right on, man.
I’ve had several people ask me “so what do you do if your bid or your rate is too high for a client?”
man I thank em for calling. If they are real cool, I’ll even help em find a cheap place to help em out.
My rate is not something that has ever had anything to do with other people’s budgets. -
mine makes the coffee, handles lunch, gives me happy endings then makes supper that night.
thanks, Mrs grinner!

you’ll find many encoders that’ll let ya render multiple files and even set up automated sessions for you when you drop a certain file into a certain folder… it’ll just do it for ya.
I use sorenson squeeze. you’ll find you can drop your library in there, assign some settings to al clips and just let it cook.
