I asked about that wondering if there is a trend toward the look-lives as a requirement, which was the case at my previous station. I'm not a big fan of them, and less of one when they are part of an unbending policy. They can serve a purpose, though. That did sound like a seriously long day. I hope you got the next one off.Originally posted by FTOJRLST:
The Standup open and close...or 'look live' was our decision. There was some brief discussion about a live shot, but it didn't pan out. I don't generally like look lives but it worked in this case. I also thought the package as a whole turned out really well....nats breaks...great sequences...the works.
I found Avids very easy to learn. BTW I am slightly jealous. Our NLEs were put on hold indefinately dur to funding problems.Originally posted by queen of blue:
Today I am.... sitting in front of my very first Avid. I'm so excited I could spit!
Now if you don't mind, I've got a huge learning curve to climb.

...almost choked on my own vomit when a certain anchor threw a first-class hissy fit because her favorite chair was missing from her cubicle.
Seems her more than ample backside wasn't enough to keep her properly padded, so she launched a hard target search for said throne - soon finding it underneath a hapless photog.
The shooter had no idea it was her chair and said as much, but it didn't stop Queen Useless from berating him and wheeling the chair back to her kingdom - a cubicle festooned with gaudy framed pictures and self-absorbed mementos yet strikingly devoid of any work materials.
All who witnessed the Great Chair Offensive merely solidified their contempt for this foul woman, but it didn't stop management from backing her up. Now a tersely worded sign adorns the back of said chair, warning all the little people to stay away from the magic seat. Meanwhile, my chair could erupt in spontaneous combustion and the suits wouldn't blink an eye at my pain and suffering. I've been in this business long enough not to expect equity, but this latest championing of a spoiled glass-reader does nothing but plummet morale.
Truth be told, today's incident is MINISCULE compared to earlier episodes of selfishness from this vile human cartoon. While I cannot divulge much now, rest assured I will someday expose this bloated creature for what she is - the very worst in a truly unlikable breed. I've known all along her antics would make a fat chapter in my memoirs, but today it morphed into its own book...

ARRRGH! I've already revealed too much. For now, I'll shut up - but as God as my witness I WILL TELL THE TALE someday, and even the most jaded TV vet may have a hard time believing it. Until then, I have some pilfered 8x10 glossies to burn...
