movies or tv shows edited in final cut

I thought I emailed you about it, Mike. Anyway, wild gig. Worked for 4 months with Walter and Sean. (2 1/2 months in they went to SF to cut, rest of crew stayed in LA).

Crazy thing is - with all my experience in FCP and HD, I spent 3/4 of my time on Pro Tools syncing dailies! But it was great - not only working with HD video on FCP, but also working with 24 bit BWF audio files from sound recordist. Sort of like HD for audio.

Walter and Sean - those two are absolutely brilliant. In twenty years of feature film post production on so many major feature films, I have never seen a more perfect post production workflow. Post production the way it should be. Those two should get special achievment Oscars.

no i didn't make it to that meeting mostly because i live in seattle haha but thats cool napoleon dynamite was done in fcp i love that movie

well yea good point nick but for a twenty year old with very little money trying to get familiar with fcp all i need is the basics right now obviously my long term goal is to make a boat load of money haha

Sean,

What you need here is the basics of English typing

I can't believe nobody's hit on this yet, but since you asked for advice in an earlier post, here's some: Please use some flippin' PUNCTUATION when posting on a public forum. You have not used a single period or comma in any of your posts. Maybe your keyboard is just missing the "," and "." keys? You may be 20 yrs old and rarin' to go, but you'll never get INTO the industry if you continue to write like a serial killer.

That's My 2¢

It does mater, Sean. People judge one another very quickly. We judge each other by the clothes we wear, the length of our hair, the car we drive, and the place we live in. And we judge people on their ability to communicate in online forums such as this one. Yes, it shouldn't be this way, and God knows first impressions are usually wrong, but the way it seems to work in life is that the first impression is often the only shot we have.

Chatting with no punctuation is appropriate but watch that it doesn't become a habit. Might be a tough one to break. Plus, when asking a question or giving an answer, it is VERY important to be as precise as you can. Punctuation helps a lot in that area.

-------------------

Out of everyone that has talked to me about my writing Michael did it in the most professional matter. That i appreciate because criticisism does nothing for me except piss me off. So thank you michael for the advice i will use it.

Dude, you totally missed the point. You ASKED for help and guidance. It was given to you, albeit brutally. But at least it was honest. And your reply is: I don't take criticism. Remember - you asked for it!

So here we go again:

1) Editing is storytelling. Which starts as an idea. And then is transferred into words on a piece of paper. It is crucial for editors to be able to write and communicate clearly. That's all we are saying - I'll leave it at that.

2) Learn to LOVE criticism. If you don't like it - get out of this business now! It is ALL you will hear from a director, producer, and even your mother! You should even criticize your own work! Striving for perfection

3) You said "So thank you michael for the advice i will use it." If you actually meant that, it would have came out as: "So, thank you Michael. I will use it.

<<<That i appreciate because criticisism does nothing for me>>>

That's "criticism."

...unbelievable.

I meant all that with love. This thread is getting old... lets move on and have some cake tonight!

well, i seriously cut back on caps when i got RSI,
hope that didnt annoy anyone too much!
and before that i used my own rules for capitaslising words: kinda german with nouns in caps, plus anything else i thought helped the cause.
i use lots of line breaks, and all the rest of the puctuation family, too.

but if we're going to compare writing styles with editing, which is an interesting idea... then the non-stop flow of info in seans posts reminds me of films like "tarnation". it's pretty modern, and maybe the voice of an upcoming generation accustomed to texting, etc.
it's exhausting for us older folks, tho!
and realistically, not condusive to the way we need to exchange info here.
i cut a film on how to survive a job interview:
one of the tips: dress like them!

hope you enjoyed the cake,
wish i was there,
nick
