Angelo,
“Kryolan Anti-Shine Powder, its a stage/film product designed for all skin types. Use this before any additional makeup or concealer and don’t be afraid to get some blotting paper as well.”Great suggestions. I was thinking more in terms of easy to get/OTC, since it isn’t always easy to find professional products on short notice.

James,
“I have the 17″ Panasonic HD Field monitor but I would like some suggestions for a reliable smaller HD monitor that I can easily pack along in my essential kit for production travel in 3rd world countries.
My main camera is an HVX200.”Another thought is if theft or damage is a concern for bringing an expensive (even if small) monitor is to get the 9″ Sony portable DVD player that has an external video input. Should have good battery life acting just as a monitor. These are going for between 160-180 bucks.

Neal,
“I am about to do a shoot for a client and he asked if I could bring along some make-up to apply to the presenter so he will not shine on camera. The presenter is the CEO of the hospital so I would assume that he does not have is own make up kit. Is there a “generic” or “common” make up to apply to any skin type such as Caucasian, Latino, African-American, etc.”To just bust the shine off of people, there are self contained loose powder with an attached brush units that you can buy at wally world, or Target. The powder is stored in the handle and ‘shakes’ thru the application brush. Get 3-4 different shades. Be sure to check to make sure the selected shade doesn’t contain any glitter (sometimes called shimmer mostly in darker shades), you want straight powder. Be sure to bring a lint roller, as the powder can get on the subjects clothes.
In addition to the powders its not a bad idea to get some heavier pancake foundation in light and medium tone, a separate brush, sponge applicators, stick type concealer, hair spray, comb, brush, scissors, q-tips, vasaline, small mirror, sewing items, safety pins, small cotton pads. For under a hundred bucks you could build a general purpose kit that is about the size of a shoebox.Scott Sheriff

Dave,
“Shhhhh…. I just read about a script called dotheeditforme.”Funny thing. This is something at least two of the linear systems I worked on could do without building a user key list ripple.
Set the edit duration, then leave the number of frames (+ forward,- reverse) to skip in the scratchpad, and hit ‘auto-animate’. Voila’, skip frame animation is generated while you sit there enjoying your coffee and Snickers.Scott Sheriff

Dave,
“With a lot of painstaking work. Many cuts. It took a long time.”What, there’s not a plugin for that?

“Opoortunity should never be mistaken for a pain in the arse. IN this case, you have the opportunity to be their hero and 5 bucks on your end could bring you thousands later.
Send em a disc with a sweet note in there.”In the case of this being four years down the road, it could also be an opportunity to pitch updating the project.

Piece of cake.
You need to do this in multiple edits/behaviors instead of doing it all at once.Several ways you might do this in FCP, here’s one.

KF Mask to simulate backspace.

I think your right it looks like the Bad TV filter that comes with FCP. There probably are variations that can be bought.
If you want to see more of this plugin watch Ghost Adventures. Don’t think they can go more than thirty seconds without using this.

“I’m not asking for a job, just looking for a little light at the end of the tunnel here, but with some honesty.”
I don’t know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
The market is over-saturated with editors, DP’s, and assorted wannabees.
On one hand there seems to be an increase in demand in cable, non-broadcast, etc. But that is greatly offset by huge staff reductions in broadcast, and the sheer volume of people ‘getting in’ due to affordable gear.
Couple that with a down economy and the light is looking dim…Scott Sheriff

Mark and Stephen make some great points.
Folks in this business often have to decide if they want to be entrepreneurs, or artiste’s. It isn’t always possible to be both.
I know that TV/Film/Media is a lot of folks dream job, but in the end it is just that. A job. There are many employers that take advantage of this dream, and the over-saturation of the market to low-ball. You can’t really blame them for taking advantage of the market conditions. After all they are running a business.
It’s a free market, and everyone should do what is best for themselves, including you.
Unless your a ‘trustafarian’, and can afford to take a cut in pay, or work for free, I would go with what pays the bills the best.Scott Sheriff
