I need a checklist for my first BIG Edit project on HD

Hi and thank you for reading this

I have been editing DV projects filmed by me no longer than 14 minutes in length up until now..

An HD (1440) project involving 40 hours of HD material landed on my lap and I intend to do it myself.

Recommendations anyone? (I am a stand-up comedian by trade so if you are going to make fun of me please use original material that's not hack...)

I have been attending all your meetings regularly and I recall that Larry Jordan mentioned he had a DVD for an HD project workflow of large proportions but I can't find it.

A CHECKLIST of things I should do would be appreciated, pointerd,books DVD's etc. alos the material is already downloaded on a terabyte hard drive but I need a way to sort all the material...is there an electronic log? a simpler way to do the subclipping>

Thank you in advance for ANY help or GOOD jokes you can send me.

Shane Ross has a good DVD that will help you organize all this. I'd start there.

Remember

A punch line is the final part of a joke, usually the word, sentence or exchange of sentences which is intended to be funny and to provoke laughter from listeners.

Punch lines generally derive their humor from being unexpected. "Punch line" is probably an Americanism, but the "punch" could be related to biting lines delivered by the "Punch" character in Punch and Judy shows. In previous centuries, a joke was sometimes a "bite" or a "hit."

The classic stand-up punch line sound is a sting (erroneously called a rimshot) on drums.

In one classic joke known as The Aristocrats, which was the subject of a 2005 documentary of the same name, the punch line of the joke is not intended to provoke laughter. Instead, the setup of the joke, which is often ad libbed to include numerous obscene and taboo subjects, is used to provoke shock and disgust. The punch line of the joke is always "The Aristocrats."

So are you saying my joke was no good? Jeez, tough crowd. I love that joke.

I actually did a unit of Comedy a University. I was surprised at how easy it is to write one liners once you know the methods. Not that I'm any good at comedy per se, just interesting that there was a formula.

Also, I can punch quite hard. That often inspires people to laugh at my jokes.

"So are you saying my joke was no good?"

I didn't.. you said it yourself when you used that old joke! :-) :-).

take care and thanks for all you do.

Sincerely

Pablo Lewin

Oh come on! It's all part of my brilliant plan. You said give you fresh, non-hackneyed jokes. It's all set up and pay off.

I think my favourite kind of joke is the long setup kind. i remember this setup in 'Soap" (I think it was) where the President or someone was coming for dinner and the woman of the house was going mad trying to get everything just perfect. She was doing all kinds of stupid things and kept asking which way was the correct way to put toilet paper on the holder - end on top, or end underneath?

Of course the payoff was when the Pres's men came, they chastised her for having the toilet paper in upside down. It took a whole episode to pay it off, and I think that was the first time I started to actually notice how comedy had rules of use.

Your a Stand-Up Comic? You will get a TON of material dealing with Post Production clients, my friend

I was a Bartender for 12 years before Film School so I got a million jokes. That's how I filled the tip jar. OK...my shorty for the day (Mike H may delete this):


Why did the pervert cross the road?

Hey... I am very proud of the fact that I got many a customer to shoot Jagermeister through their nose with that one, Mike. It was a younger audience back then

Two guys walk into a bar. Why didn't the second guy duck?

Ba dum bum.

So a priest and a rabbi walk into a bar . . and the bartender say's, "what, is this a joke".

Sorry, couldn't resist

OK you guys convinced me to buy a Moviola....
