    Today, every network gives specific specs and thats what you have to fullfill. If not specified, I still do it the right way… 29:20, fade or cut. I usually add a 10 frame fade. Depends on the content, really.

    It bothers me that tone is used more today to censor or create cuss words than it is to set up levels. No intern at any station even knows what bars and tone are for. Hence nobody being able or willing to watch commercials anymore. Levels are all over the place.
    Really, anyone still advertising on tv is just doing business how there Dad did when he gave them the business.

    I use photoshop to layer key principals and then the clone tool to wipe away edges on the bottom layer. Then I just animate the layers in after effects. Does take some time but it does wonders for stills.

    I think all we have ever sold is ourselves. I instill into my students that it has nothing to do with the tools, but the artist. Fine art is still made with a chisel and stone.
    Has my rate become a fraction of what it use to be? Sure but that is because I still like creating for others. When I create my own products, that is when I get to name my price. I have let my students know they are not going to have staff jobs in this industry… but can easily make six figures a year on youtube by the time they are 17.

    State your rate, do a better job than anyone else can, then go to the bank.

    Just the bigger the better in the name of time. Meanwhile, artists to this day create fine art with a chile and stone.
