Here is my old reel on creative cow
https://reels.creativecow.net/film/858.What would happen to my old account?.
I was hoping, that this could be also done with other details of my old account. Like the forums I posted or the private messages I might receive. If it is possible of coarse. I’ve been out to creative cow for so long, sorry.

I have experience that problem before in one project that rely on assets in formats of PSDs and Ai. Apparently all my assets have dimension of 3000 pixels above, my rendering time was killer. It was either spending several hours render or having ae hang.
Upon figuring out what could help my machine render faster. I check my assets in Photoshop, and discovered that if you lower the resolution (Image > Image size) in an acceptable amount, it could speed up your renders (I played around the figures of 72 to 120 in resolution value).
If you still want to retain your image dimensions, Simple copy the width value, before changing your resolution value, and paste the width value (With the constrain proportions checked) after you change the resolution value.On the project there was a significant speed in the rendering, and my machine had no problems rendering the materials. Without redoing the entire comp from scratch.
Hope this helps

I asked my supervisor, and she told it is sata. They would probably have to request for change.
At this point, i have to work, using DV sequences for our playblacks and export the project in it’s actual res. Oh dear god, I have to export this on 16:9 DVD. Hehehe I guess I have to plan ahead.
Thank you so much Eric Jurgenson, for the help.
Good Day

[Eric Jurgenson] “You need an array that can sustain at least 200 MB/s read rate to play back uncompressed HD.”
I believe is a sata, I have to ask the company technical. I was just wondering. by changing this the sata to an array, would this solve the problem?.
Is there a work around on this one? I need to playback the offline material in a 16:9 viewing monitor, and the black magic is only one able to play it back.
Additional question, if data rate is the cause of the playback problem. Howcome when I play Black magic DV sequences it plays smooth? and I am still outputting it through multi-bridge.

My Fastest, 2 Weeks. The slowest 6 months. And those six months not one cent I seen from my commision. only after 3 months of the actual date of dub release I got the payment in full. There is one I never got to see my payment because my client filed for bankrupt.
There client who are fast there are some who are slow as a turtle. I guess additional trait for us in the industry, is having the patience of a saint.

[Mark Suszko] “You charge an hourly rate, like Grinner says, and if they make the job harder, they deserve to pay more because it TAKES more to make it right.”
[Mark Suszko] “The people that say “fix it in post” rarely understand what that costs versus getting it right in the first place.”
As well charge it right and don’t go below the line. Set a standard that these type of work, doesn’t go cheap. If they have that mentally of “fix it in post”, then might charge it fair or right. After all you’ll be doing most of the hard work in the project.
I agree with the response that you charge by the hour. Going blackbox or package on this type of work may put you in the ditch on the long run.

[Franklin McMahon] “Fire grinders. If you feel a client is constantly taking advantage, cut them loose. Don’t be happy just to be working. Aim higher and find clients the same quality as you are. If you are waiting for checks, and doing work upfront while your client takes their time, they do not respect you and they do not deserve your services. Years ago when I turned away grinders and people who were at a lower level business-wise (“I’d rather starve” was my mantra) was when my creative career really kicked into high gear”
[Ron Lindeboom] “Outgrowing old clients. “
My thoughts exactly, I am cutting them lose. It was difficult, especially I grew attach with the companies I work with. But then I realized that they started taking advantage of my good nature. I’ve decided to move, and I don’t want to be those “companies” that struggle because most of their client network are grinders.
I do admit that rising rates are difficult especially while my competition’s rates are really below the standard. With this effect many, clients starting to think that our rates are really low.
It very difficult, but I see a bright future ahead.

[Christopher Wright] “It is hard when even the old, good clients turn into “grinders.””
I find that very true these days, when I start freelancing in new company, at the start it becomes okay. Pay is good, your happy to work with them and the people around the company. But then you offend work with them, they gradually and slowly becoming grinders. Your fee goes lower and lower the the timeline becomes shorter and shorter. Plus the demands of the work doesn’t seem to add any more.
A full motion graphics work worth 60 or even 80 percent less than your actual rate. But of coarse you say okay because your still happy working for them and assure you the next project will have a better project.
Then little did you know that low-budget project wasn’t so low, when you see dramatic change in the lifestyles of the head huncho.
I learn my lesson, and I guess you can’t be a nice guy all the time. Or you should choose who to be a nice guy to.

I totally agree with you. Personally, I really don’t like people who uses threats to get what they want, but I do try to give a cool-leveled head attitude and fix the problems before it could get any worse. The only question is how far can they go, before it becomes harassment. But one thing’s for sure, when the project goes “DONE”, and the client offers me another project, I usually think twice on accepting the project.
It’s stories like these makes you think about people who you really need to trust.
In my years working as provider, one of the most important lessons I learn, is know who are the people you should be giving your trust to. I don’t know about you but I do find it hard (sometimes) people who I could really trust, but I do manage to find good-hearted people.
It is true a good attitude will get you through the long run. We must be all saints for not giving into our own tempers when the client are in those “Moments”.
