You may be overthinking the whole meaning thing. It’s a vibe, a personality… just a flavor match. When I’m making a paranormal show, I use scary fonts. Motorsports, clean and agressive. Corporate… plain vanilla. Never have I had to over think it. Sometimes I have to go download a new one but that’s because I don’t have what I want, not because I’m stumped. This is no different than the use of color or any design in general. An interior designer doesn’t put the red chair in the corner as a rule. They put it there because it didn’t look as cool by the window.

You are now a week away from going to ACE Harware.

No need to invert alphas for a QT… just stills.
I still use the good ole meridien codec more oftent han not. Fast imports, alpha friendly… all good. -
First, start using periods.
Then grab the NLE of your choice and master it. You can then venture into effects apps and such. -
Flavor preferences vary. That said, I still work in an Avid/AE world most of the time. Many who have FCS skip AE because they have Motion. By in large, your Motion vs AE choice will still revolve arounf your NLE selection for a while.
I’m glad you realize it’s needed as an editor today. I sat with a freelancer not long ago who was asked to make a graphic of just an arrow and it stumped him. He doesn’t even know the amount of work he’s lost. -
Here, the parent or guardian just has to sign a release. I don’t know in the UK. It’s as easy as asking you lawyer though. He may wanna draw one up for you for an hour’s worth of billing but you can write your own or just grab a template after a quick google search and reword as needed.

Just decline if it comes up. Some gigs and jobs are worth signing em for but some are not. A friendly phone call to the producer probably would have kept everything all smooth betweeen the two of you. It aint an asking for permission thing just a classy I’m not sneaking over your head gesture. I’ll tell ya what happened to me a couple of weeks ago.
Dude calls me up and asks if I will run camera as a freelancer at his studio for a couple of days. He and I go a decade back and we’ve always been friends. As shoots go, good ones, anyway, we often become friends with the clients over a day or two. Such was the case this time and at the end of the two days, as we were parting ways, my friend’s client asked my if I had a business card. Brother, I thought nothing in the world of it, slid it to her with him standing next to me and said something like “just be sure to request me next time you’re talking with Kev”. They split and good ole Kev aint been the same since. He saw it as I was going after his client. I tried to explain if that were the case I would not have done it in front of him. To this day, he’s all fussy. My fault? Well, it was as easy as just saying what I said and pulling no card out. I just didn’t think and while I have explained to him that my mistake was out of ignorance, not malace, I could call him right now and he’d not answer.
That’s how I see that phone call you could have made. I realize you, like me, are just programmed to say sure then provide. When a triangle gets formed though, just keep that in mind all the time. In my case, just routing them through Kev would have compimented him and maintained the hiarchy I wasn’t aware he was trying to boast. In your case, the producer would have realized there was no budget for her and would have wished you well on the gig.
It’s funny. We are in communications but lack of communication can still be an obsticle. -
So basically your advice was, or so it seems to me, is to tell a customer not to advertise on cable at all, as its a waste of time and money.
I do when they ask. Sometimes I just make the spot and they do the media buying. When I spearhead the whole thing, I simply put their dollars to the best use.

Just don’t travel as a production company. You’ll have a camcoder and some accessories in a duffle bag. Doesn’t have to be a big deal.
