I understand there are many ways of “getting round” this issue.
I am not interested in the practical advantages/disadvantages – just achieving a certain aesthetic impact. This is a kind of surreal presentation and I want to capture some of that in the video. I am not trying to “record” the presentation in a linear manner.

Grinner – I would have thought that a lot of film schools would be actively scouting talented kids…is that not the case?
Most everyone in film schools is paying big bucks to be there?

Corporate video is in vortex – no-one knows what’s going to be left standing 2-3 years from now. Where did Gary Vaynerchuck come from?
When hack amateurs are making high six figures and seasoned pros are being laid off by the bus-load…it’s not about teaching it’s about learning out loud.

agreed.
Whether to use a fade to black/white, a dissolve or a jumpcut depends on style. But to my eye blah cutaways increasingly have a stale, ponderous feel.
A hangover from the days when filmmakers were more concerned about not confusing the viewers, rather than not boring them.

2008 was a bad year for the cutaway – news editors at the BBC decided they were dishonest and banned them, many other stations are following suit.
Then Martin Scorsese makes a 2 hour Rolling Stones live concert movie without a single audience cutaway – Scorsese seemed to be set on avoiding video cliches altogether. Apart from Mick and Keith of course.

the answer is no

this isn’t grammar – it is idiom I would guess, although I don’t speak Spanish.
All languages contain idiomatic expressions, whose meaning cannot be conveyed by translation of the individual words.
That’s why translators are paid the big $$$.

Kevin – I am talking about the area outside the video (when the video is scaled down so it doesn’t fill all the canvas)
This is useful for preview when the webpage where the video will live is not dark grey.

thanks Shane – with the proliferation of web video it sure would be useful

Shooting for free to get experience and then getting picked up by ESPN on the strength of your prowess with a handicam? That is a great idea.
Another good idea is to become an NBA star and then parlay your contacts into a job with ESPN.
With the second idea the first part is hard and the second part is easy, and vice versa.
Let us know which route you choose.
