[Marco Falcone] ”
If you just want to take HD video just as a hobby, then a Panasonic GH2 is probably good for you, but it costs a bit more.”OK, I’ll take the bait. Why do you consider the GH2 a hobbyist’s toy?

[Mike Cohen] “Potato latkes ARE potato pancakes. The significance is that they are cooked in oil, representing the oil which lasted for 8 nights back in old timey Jerusalem – the miracle of Hanukkah. Judaism is all about symbolism.”
Hey, I made some potato latkes yesterday without even knowing it!
[Mike Cohen] “Back to Christmas for a minute – now I have a multi-denominational household so we have a Christmas tree and a menorah living side by side in harmony.”
Harmony; that’s what it’s all about.

[Shane Ross] “Think of it. When someone says “we need an editor to help finish a project. It was cut with iMovie,” what image enters your mind as to what level of production this project is? Opposed to “we need an editor to help finish a project. It was cut with Avid Media Composer.” What image does that bring to your mind as to the level of production?”
I knew going in that it wouldn’t be something I would put on my demo reel. Do think I should turn down a job because it comes in the form of an iMovie project? My rate is my rate.

[Kevin Patrick] ” Because I thought it was funny.
Sorry.”
I’m sorry I didn’t get your joke. That happens to me too 🙂

[Marvin Holdman] “it puzzles me that you are so proud of the fact that you are on the front lines of our industries seeming “race to the bottom” rate wise. The fact that you have apparently undercut a contemporary”
I have no idea what the Avid guy charges, but I don’t think $150/hr is racing to the bottom. In fact, I’ve worked long and hard to get up to that.
[Marvin Holdman] “idiots who could afford the first generation of DV camera’s and sold many of my clients on it being “just as good” and “broadcast” at a fraction of the industry rate.”
Yep, I was one of them. I talked my Dad into buying me a Sony VX-1000. And, yeah… my work was not very good. The camera wasn’t the problem, though.
[Marvin Holdman] “it is a bit of an overstatement to say “FCPX Trumps Avid””
I agree, but I couldn’t resist posting my story with an inflammatory subject line! 🙂

[Kevin Patrick] “The Avid editor your client was talking to, is your client’s spouse.”
I understand what you are saying, just not why.

[Kevin Patrick] “I bet the Avid editor is this person’s spouse.
This person talked to their spouse for days only to find out he can’t do anything with my iMovie projects.”
Totally lost me here…

[Christian Schumacher] “How many iMovie gigs one has to score in order to match a single Avid one?”
I have no idea. Define “Avid gig”?

[Mike Cohen] “Finally, here’s some of my mom’s potato latkes:”
Those look good! Are they basically just little potato pancakes?

[Colin McQuillan] “I’d suggest moving forward with FCPX over FCP7.”
Absolutely. FCPX will scream on your new MacBook Pro. Take some of the money you will save, buy some training for FCPX, upgrade your machine to 8GB of RAM and you’ll be off to the races!
