There have been so many great posts. I like yours the best. First i want to defend my training. My post production training was about 1.5 months and my over all training was 5 years worth. post production training was not “cut at least every 5 seconds” but it was the huge generation i received as my instruction was on scripted TV and Motion Pictures. and even then that was a bad generalization the professors didn’t support.
Anyway thanks to you and shane and the other I was able to impress my producer by “feeling” the rhythm of the speech. I felt the quicker speaker needed less cutting as it was distracting to his overall charismatics and the dull speaker needed to be jazzed up a bit.
Also I learned a ton about adult stem cell therapy.
