Small crew.
Very Big Client.I submitted quote 1 with 10 hour days.
My contact mentioned 14 hour days.
I submitted quote 2 with 10 hour days plus overtime.
My contact’s boss said the PO was approved under quote 1 and that quote 2 is refused.
So now my contact is under the gun to get all the footage on 10 hour days.My question is more rhetorical than anything. How do I say what needs to be said without ruining the relationship?

Editing isn’t the most important part of the movie.
IT IS THE MOVE!You can also read acting books to contribute to how an editor creates pace and rhythm in the edit. We editors get a Wide Shot, a Medium Shot, and a Close Up shot of the same few lines. By understanding what subtext is and acting beats, editors can manipulate the performance. Cutting to the close up on the dramatic beat in the scene. Or cutting to the wide shot for a punch line, followed by CU of reactions.

Best advice I’ve ever heard about upgrading software is from the smart guys in the FCP forum, can’t remember who, and this is my paraphrase of what I understood them to mean. Don’t upgrade or even mess with a system drive that is working. Instead, clone it and upgrade the clone. That way if something breaks, then you can always use the old system that will definitely work.

XLR mic inputs cannot be overstated, with regard to talking heads. Of course you can always buy XLR adapters, but that needs to be included in the budget. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Camcorder-XLR-Adapters/ci/8673/N/4291085906 More gadgets in the signal flow means more places where things can go wrong.

I believe there is quite a lot of compression when recording to the SD card.
