“How can it take a week plus to edit a :30 second commercial?”
When 15 people are involved and everyone has their own priorities and opinions, it gets complicated. I once spent over a month cutting a :30. There were 80 versions. We ended up going with my first cut #postchat

The director chimed in with notes: “Where did you get that fucking shot?”

Uh dude, you shot it

“I did? Oh fuck me”

I love my job

I miss the days when clients would spend money to have an original music track created for their commercials. Now every other spot on TV is using the same crappy stock music. I saw 3 spots last night that had the same track, and yet clients feverishly shout about “brand identity” #postchat

I don’t get how ArtList is so popular. I get that it’s a “value” but you get what you pay for. The stock footage is boring and bland, the stock music is repetitive and a lot of it sounds like someone finally discovered the 90s.

One day into this edit and I’m already over it. #postchat

Just your average :30 second commercial

When you think they shot way too much footage, then you get into the edit and there isn’t enough #postchat

Seeing your work on the TV never gets old #postchat

Last night I had a dream that I took a new job at a Post house that still used old Meridian AVIDs. It was a Nightmare #postchat

Im a pretty calm and chill guy. However, today one client is driving me to the brink, and its making me totally stressed. If the client doesn't have their shit together, it rolls downhill to the editor. Sometimes I have to ask myself why Im still doing this when Im old enough to retire? #postchat

#PostChat Does this situation ever make sense? I've never seen it before. Or is it a bug in #AdobePremiere. It appears to be related to proxy footage. It is breaking a tool that expects a unique timecode for each file.

Who has a short film they need an editor for? Huh?? C'mon I wanna make something and I haven't figured out how to write a good script yet. (I'm trying though) #postchat #editing #filmmaking #imsickofnotworking #ahhhhhhhh

Editing in Premiere for the first time in almost two years, and damn if it isn't a horrible, bloated experience #postchat

Thanks crew! #postchat
