In the last year the 3 major broadcasters here in Iceland all started accepting digital uploads of commercials, which should have been a good thing but the downside is that they decided on Quicktime DV-PAL files as the delivery format. I have done commercials that looked good uncompressed in editing but after outputting to DV I had to redo the color grade because the reds would smear all over the place.
I try to tell clients that outputting to tape means more quality but they usually just look at the time and money they save by uploading and do that instead 🙁

If you shoot the paintings yourself you also have the added dimension of being able to shoot at an angle, and rack focus between places of interest.
Back when I was a news cameraman I would sometimes shoot segments on exhibitions at art galleries and then I tried to always get one good wide shot of each painting, a few good closeups of interesting details and then I tried to shoot at angle because then you can really see the three-dimensionality of the brushstrokes.
If I were you I´d try to get every conceiveable and unconceiveable angle because having to show a single painting for 100 seconds will quickly get boring. If the enviorenment relates to your subject matter then some shots of the surroundings would also help… -
I send a lot of spots to tv stations that use DV-PAL for their playout systems and a few weeks ago had a similar problem, red text turned to absolute rubbish. The only solution then was to dial back the red color until everything became legible…

no, everyone has their own separate copy of the same media. I´m sending them my project file that references files on my hard drive so that when they open the project all the media shows up offline. When they reconnect to their copy of the media on their separate hard drives the multiclips somehow slip out of sync. This has happened on every single machine 🙁

No, my workaround so far has been to send each student the separate clips as well and make new multiclips from them on each machine. There are only 7 students in my class so this is doable…
