PostChat #27: Mobile Editing

@Dr0id: It’s time for #POSTCHAT! Tonight we are chatting about Editing On-The-Go. Best setups, mobile gear, show off your gear, and best practices. – December 8, 2011, 1:57 am

@comebackshane: When I onlined a JFK special for NatGeo…I used my MacBook Pro, an AJA IO HD and a CalDigit VR drive. http://t.co/ECerNR8Y #POSTCHAT – December 8, 2011, 2:01 am

@TyLeisher: Does anyone else long or the day when we can do minor adjustments on our iPhone or iPad and have it reflect on our bay at home? #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:01 am

@comebackshane: Sat in front of a rack and tweaked the footage as we captured. And checked all the footage in a very small hotel room at night #POSTCHAT – December 8, 2011, 2:01 am

@TyLeisher: I cut on my Macbook Pro in Final Cut. I use an external drive, so I do need power though. It’s nice to have a plug and play system #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:02 am

@TyLeisher: Take it out, edit on the beach, come home and plug everything into the larger sytem (Monitor, hard drives, keyboards) and finish. #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:02 am

@comebackshane: @TyLeisher Edit on the beach? Glaring sun…SAND in the equipment. Surrounded by procrastination options? I can’t do that… #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:04 am

@Woolymanphx: @TyLeisher Same here, but I also added CS5.5 #POSTCHAT – December 8, 2011, 2:06 am

@macgarp: mobile edit cave: the news live truck! they had to watch a safety video today about how not to get electrocuted #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:07 am

@rassnapp: I don’t like editing on a laptop and try and avoid it like the plague unless absolutely necessary #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:07 am

@twainrich: I’m currently reviewing the days dailies with the director. This is my setup. #POSTCHAT http://t.co/YNPfCiNF – December 8, 2011, 2:07 am

@rassnapp: To me editing is like writing and I do it best in a certain space and routine #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:07 am

@comebackshane: I would liked to have been able to review my capture on a large TV via the IO HD…but the hotel only had a 13″ SD one. #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:08 am

@comebackshane: @rassnapp I don’t mind editing on the laptop, if it allows me to travel. Editors seldom get to travel for editing gigs. #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:09 am

@rassnapp: @comebackshane good point. I’d be willing to give up my routine for some cool travel! #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:10 am

@EditorLiam: #postchat awesome, im on time for once – December 8, 2011, 2:11 am

@macgarp: @TyLeisher I had a nightmare about editing on an iPad once. every time I swiped the timeline, it crumpled into a ball. #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:11 am

@comebackshane: Of course, when one does travel to edit…do we have time to take in the sites? or are we in a cave on location? #postchat (hee hee) – December 8, 2011, 2:11 am

@EditorLiam: @comebackshane the double edged sword of a traveling editor… #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:13 am

@crashbennett: Important to stay organized when editing mobile esp. if your drive gets handed off to someone else. Seen too many offline files. #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:17 am

@kyl33t: @macgarp that’s pretty messed up. #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:19 am

@kyl33t: I edit daily on a laptop with extra monitor. It’s 17″ so it also doesn’t travel well either. Still cut something in an airport. #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:20 am

@Ital1anMeatball: How many people are running Avid on their mobile stations? #PostChat – December 8, 2011, 2:22 am

@crashbennett: @kyl33t Do you use bus powered drive for offline media when editing in an airport? #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:23 am

@kyl33t: @crashbennett this was a little side thing i was putting together so i threw it on my internal drive. i don’t usually edit mobile. #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:26 am

@twainrich: On the go edit setup is a 17″ MBP a Bus Powered HD, matrox mini and ofcourse Me. LoL #POSTCHAT – December 8, 2011, 2:26 am

@EditorLiam: @rassnapp I can adapt to most situations… but when I need to be cutting more than just an assembly, I need a space I can control #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:27 am

@comebackshane: Make sure your equipment is well protected in pelican cases when travelling. #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:28 am

@theriotisover: Oh hai guys, I’m at the store finishing mah #nomquer supplies running so I’m missing #postchat totally ironic amirite??? – December 8, 2011, 2:29 am

@macgarp: I don’t mind editing on the laptop if I have to… but I keep reaching for the HOME key ya know? and its like a phantom limb lol #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:30 am

@TyLeisher: I lost this photo It was my macbook pro, 1 TB Drive and Pen Tablet working out of the trunk of my Prius, loved being so mobile #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:30 am

@mottsThoughts: just got done editing on the road! We cut videos out in Cali for a month from an RV. Setup was a MacBookPro…cont. #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:30 am

@TyLeisher: @twainrich I need to get a bus powered drive… would make things so much easier. #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:31 am

@nease: @TyLeisher Please try to find that, I want to see it! #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:31 am

@mottsThoughts: cont…and multiple drive, and a steady hand. Editing while an RV is moving at 70+ mph is tough #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:31 am

@nease: @TyLeisher @twainrich Bus powered makes life so much easier! Esp. when power plugs are sparse! #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:32 am

@kyl33t: @mottsThoughts editing in an RV is kind of bad ass. #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:32 am

@mottsThoughts: The best thing to do on the road is keep that isht backed up! With a month’s worth of footage, you don’t want to loose all that #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:33 am

@TyLeisher: @nease I think it was on my old phone I’m not sure if I ever posted it but I’ll search. It was a lot of cables to say the least #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:34 am

@mottsThoughts: @kyl33t it was badass! Wish we could have done more but it sounds like we will be headed back out soon for more road edits! #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:34 am

@nease: My mobile setup includes my 15″ MBP, & multiple bus powered drives (1 per project preferably). Took it to Africa last year! #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:35 am

@mottsThoughts: By the way! I am so excited to finally take some time to contribute to #postchat! It has taken me forever to get to this chat! :) – December 8, 2011, 2:36 am

@nease: @TyLeisher I wait with anticipation! #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:36 am

@NinjaKittay: Woot, I R here! Don’t normally edit mobile… However interesting to hear tips/feedback on it. What’s biggest pro/con to it? #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:36 am

@nease: @mottsThoughts Yeah, I’m glad when I finally get to make it as well! Welcome! #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:37 am

@EditorLiam: What about editing on a boat… seems to be one of the main plans behind http://t.co/KY5Zshcm #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:37 am

@nease: @EditorLiam I guess it depends on where the boat is… calm waters or high seas? #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:37 am

@malderor: @rassnapp I don’t like editing on a laptop, but in early stages I do like sorting and labeling footage at home on my couch. #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:38 am

@Woolymanphx: Looks like everyone is editing on a mac book pro for mobile. Not a shocker. #POSTCHAT – December 8, 2011, 2:39 am

@mottsThoughts: @nease thanks man! #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:39 am

@EditorLiam: @malderor @rassnapp as long as I have a decent set of cans and I MUST have an external 2-button mouse, editing on a laptop is fine #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:41 am

@nease: @Woolymanphx What else is there? #PostChat – December 8, 2011, 2:42 am

@Woolymanphx: I will need a new external drive soon. Suggestions? #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:42 am

@nease: @EditorLiam @malderor @rassnapp I love working with a Multi-touch trackpad! #PostChat – December 8, 2011, 2:43 am

@malderor: We use these to swap projects between post-houses, take ‘em home, etc. Self-powered USB: http://t.co/FewDyps1 #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:43 am

@macgarp: @Woolymanphx what else is there? lol #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:43 am

@nease: @Woolymanphx Bus powered or wall powered? #PostChat – December 8, 2011, 2:43 am

@Ital1anMeatball: @Woolymanphx I’m currently editing using this http://t.co/MBClNktD #PostChat – December 8, 2011, 2:44 am

@rassnapp: @EditorLiam @malderor do you feel at all distracted or limited editing ‘on the road’ even of that’s couch or coffee shop? #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:44 am

@dwolfmeyer: @comebackshane you get to see hotelnrooms and edit bays, not much else. #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:44 am

@nease: @Woolymanphx I prefer any G-Drive self or bus powered. Always reliable! #PostChat – December 8, 2011, 2:45 am

@Woolymanphx: @nease bus, but what is better? E sata, usb, or fire wire? I have a 500 g passport. #POSTCHAT – December 8, 2011, 2:47 am

@nease: I got to cut at an outdoor polo match a few months back. Not bad except we were out in the sun w/ lots of glare! #PostChat – December 8, 2011, 2:48 am

@EditorLiam: @rassnapp @malderor did a 14hr edit in a coffee shop the other day… not something I would choose honestly, but I made it work… #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:48 am

@TyLeisher: @nease I searched long and hard, I don’t think that photo exists anymore #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:48 am

@Woolymanphx: @Ital1anMeatball bad ass! Thanks #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:49 am

@theriotisover: Post Chatter fr #PostChat Lovers is out! http://t.co/ggj4Vmrd ▸ Top stories today via @schnittman @bkmeditor @robtheeditor @fimichelattias – December 8, 2011, 2:50 am

@nease: @Woolymanphx FireWire. I don’t prefer USB to cut w/, for transferring it’s fine. I think BUS pwrd e-Sata has to use USB for power #PostChat – December 8, 2011, 2:51 am

@nease: @TyLeisher Bummer! #PostChat – December 8, 2011, 2:51 am

@malderor: @rassnapp @EditorLiam It happens so rarely it’s a novelty. I did cut a BTS video for the Superbowl during a FCPUG Supermeet once. #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:52 am

@Woolymanphx: What esata card do you use? RT @Ital1anMeatball: @Woolymanphx I’m currently editing using this http://t.co/4sLE1iJS #PostChat – December 8, 2011, 2:53 am

@nease: @malderor @rassnapp @editorliam Were you doing this while sitting in the audience? #PostChat – December 8, 2011, 2:54 am

@Woolymanphx: I’m interested. RT @nease: @EditorLiam @malderor @rassnapp I love working with a Multi-touch trackpad! #PostChat – December 8, 2011, 2:56 am

@mottsThoughts: @nease the G-Drives are great. Very reliable. We had them bumping around on the RV and out of 12 only 1 crashed. #PostChat – December 8, 2011, 2:57 am

@malderor: @nease @editorliam Yes, I was on a deadline. The game was days away, so I cut this from my seat: http://t.co/dcionNzY #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:57 am

@mottsThoughts: Rugged drives are not as reliable as I hoped they’d be. 3 crash on me in the past 6-7 months. Although they are used a lot #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:58 am

@Vinny_VinVin: @EditorLiam 14 hr edit in a cafe? One question: How many cups of coffee did you buy throughout the day? #postchat – December 8, 2011, 2:59 am

@nease: @malderor @EditorLiam I’m impressed! #PostChat – December 8, 2011, 3:00 am

@westonWoodbury: @kyl33t I had to get 17 – December 8, 2011, 3:01 am

@NinjaKittay: @Vinny_VinVin I think it’d be dangerous for me to edit in cafe. I’d just park myself near the espresso machine n call it a day XD #postchat – December 8, 2011, 3:02 am

@nease: @mottsThoughts I also can’t stand plastic fw800 cables! They knock loose to easily! Metal ones are much better! #PostChat – December 8, 2011, 3:02 am

@nease: @westonWoodbury @kyl33t 17″ is way too big for my liking! 15″ seemed to be the sweet spot for me! #PostChat – December 8, 2011, 3:03 am

@mottsThoughts: @nease nothing is more aggrevating than that. Many times that has happened. I love the metal ones. I keep a spare just in case. #postchat – December 8, 2011, 3:04 am

@Vinny_VinVin: @NinjaKittay lol. I’ve done it before. Me on coffee = super hyper. And intense edits! ╰ (°□°╰) #postchat – December 8, 2011, 3:06 am

@Ital1anMeatball: @Woolymanphx I’m using a G-Tech card on my Tower, great bc it supports RAID. Don’t have an eSATA card on my laptop #PostChat – December 8, 2011, 3:06 am

@mottsThoughts: @NinjaKittay I had a shoot at a cafe once & wanted to do the same thing. Can’t imagine editing for a day there. Too relaxing, lol #PostChat – December 8, 2011, 3:09 am

@NinjaKittay: @Vinny_VinVin ╰ (°□°╰) rawwwwr omg love this icon xD Yeah I can do some fast edits hyped up on caffeine! Rush job? NO PROBLEMO!! #postchat – December 8, 2011, 3:11 am

@mottsThoughts: Currently color correcting and chatting it up on #PostChat = GREAT NIGHT! – December 8, 2011, 3:11 am

@NinjaKittay: @mottsThoughts I’m at my best in my little colourful/inspirational #editcave to be quite honest, but I could do mobile if need be! #postchat – December 8, 2011, 3:12 am

@NinjaKittay: @mottsThoughts @Vinny_VinVin Did you find yourself distracted by people there n such or did you wear headphones to block them out? #postchat – December 8, 2011, 3:15 am

@mottsThoughts: @NinjaKittay @Vinny_VinVin I was filming so it wasn’t much of a distraction, but headphones would help I’m sure. #personaleditcave #postchat – December 8, 2011, 3:16 am

@glenmontgomery: @nease @tejbabra exactly, probably never would have bumped shoulders with you guys without a community like twitter #filmin140 #postchat – October 27, 2011, 1:31 am

@shericandler: do you think there is any age barrier, like this is mostly a young person’s game, or is it openness to new things/ #postchat #filmin140 – October 27, 2011, 1:31 am

@dwolfmeyer: Also found Twitter’s post community to be a good source of general convo. I’ve talked about a lot outside of post too #PostChat #filmin140 – October 27, 2011, 1:32 am

@shericandler: which is funny because it is supposed to be where professionals gather. Any industry related sites better than Twitter? #postchat #filmin140 – October 27, 2011, 1:38 am

@bradsaville: @shericandler I second that: Linked-In = total waste of time. #filmin140 #postchat – October 27, 2011, 1:38 am

@glenmontgomery: .@shericandler LinkedIn still has it’s place, if anything for contact info and reaching out to folks outside twitter #filmin140 #PostChat – October 27, 2011, 1:39 am

@BadBoyOfEditing: @jasonkonoza yeh NAB should be more about networking products etc can be seen and demoed online. Human interaction always better #postchat – October 27, 2011, 1:39 am

@JustinLanier: @glenmontgomery It does seem like i’ve had people look my page up after I talk with them. #postchat – October 27, 2011, 1:40 am

@NinjaKittay: @shericandler Yeahhh. Linkedin hasn’t done much for me. I do have my info on there just in case of an opportunity #filmin140 #postchat – October 27, 2011, 1:40 am

@danr: @jeannevb I think an understanding of editing will make you a better writer. Best producers I’ve worked with are ones who “get it” #postchat – October 27, 2011, 1:40 am

@macgarp: I can deal with noise because cutting a news package is easy done it 50 bajillion times. like this one http://t.co/P9RGI8q4 lol #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:51 am

@dhepburn: @Hyphen I am. It’s great. #PostChat- October 13, 2011, 1:51 am

@dwolfmeyer: @yougenius73 @wepost what’s awesome is that it’s not a mouse, thus less hand/wrist strain. Been Wacom only for many years now. #PostChat- October 13, 2011, 1:52 am

@TimWard34: @macgarp I do a lot of audio too. Helps to have decent monitors. #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:52 am

@macgarp: @NinjaKittay yes today was channel 7′s birthday so we had these noms cupcakes and a cappucino machine #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:52 am

@StevenTrauger: @glenmontgomery The only thing you would need the mouse for is if you do a lot of 3D work w/apps tied to the buttons on a mouse #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:52 am

@yougenius73: @dwolfmeyer @wepost I’m a trackball user myself, I totally understand the mouse hate. Hate the mouse! #PostChat- October 13, 2011, 1:52 am

@veloeditor: @rassnapp an option is the $999 27″ thunderbolt Apple display with 2 ports. If I go that route, I’m opting for Intensity extreme #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:52 am

@NinjaKittay: @dwolfmeyer Hmmm. I have a wacom, but I’ve never used it for that purpose. Curious about that though. I do like the mouse I haz. #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:52 am

@glenmontgomery: @artguillotine thanks man. As you know, it’s the interview victim that brings the noise. #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:53 am

@NinjaKittay: @macgarp Nice!! ah that’s awesome. and don’t forget, nomquer stuff is on it’s merry little way! (maybe tomorrow it arrives?) #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:54 am

@glenmontgomery: @StevenTrauger luckily it’s just the NLE and after effects that I am working in, two button on pen works fine. #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:54 am

@Kjmass1: @rassnapp #postchat I don’t even remember that pic…sneaky!- October 13, 2011, 1:54 am

@joetombarello: .@glenmontgomery I’ll keep that in mind. I’ve heard only good things from *stand up* workstations. (excluding the first month : ) #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:54 am

@TimWard34: I’m just gonna have to catch up later on #postchat. I’m on the move!- October 13, 2011, 1:55 am

@glenmontgomery: @rassnapp I am a g-tech guy as well. Don’t think I could reach for a Lacie again, even with thunderbolt. #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:55 am

@digitalpostink: OK I got to get to back to work to….to #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:55 am

@macgarp: @NinjaKittay oh wow. I’ll be sure to mosey on down to the post office !! will share noms with my crew #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:55 am

@Hyphen: @dhepburn Are you using dual monitors? Do you feel you have enough “real estate” on the touchpad? #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:55 am

@macgarp: @TimWard34 If was editing the station promos I would get the nice gear. lol #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:56 am

@glenmontgomery: @joetombarello ya I got pushed toward it by so many recommendations by other computer monkeys. Really glad I took the dive. #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:56 am

@rassnapp: @veloeditor #postchat it’s just a matter of solving connection needs puzzle before money spent. luckily so many I/O’s!- October 13, 2011, 1:56 am

@glenmontgomery: I am gonna open up a can of pain and ask how many offline editors here have a calibrated monitor in their suite? #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:57 am

@veloeditor: @rassnapp What would be great is a Belkin type of breakout box with firewire, SATA, ethernet, and 2 thunderbolt ports. Dream… #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:58 am

@CookBoxPro: Don’t you love it when you invest work & time into a project, then some amateur idiot swipes it out from under you!? #edit #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:58 am

@yougenius73: @glenmontgomery I do! but it’s not a professional monitor, just my computer monitors are calibrated. I use an Eye One. #PostChat- October 13, 2011, 1:58 am

@rassnapp: @glenmontgomery I’m not either, but ironically, in that pic is my 1st external, a 120gb Lacie that still works since I used FCP3! #postchat- October 13, 2011, 1:58 am

@dwolfmeyer: @yougenius73 some people like them. I can’t get used to it. I used to cut linear & they just aren’t the same #PostChat- October 13, 2011, 2:00 am

@rassnapp: @wepost haha! no that chair won’t be the dit chair, just storage spot for now #postchat- October 13, 2011, 2:00 am

@glenmontgomery: .@yougenius73 same boat here. #postchat- October 13, 2011, 2:00 am

PostChat #17: Pack It Up, Archiving Tips and Tricks

This week on #PostChat, we discussed our process for archiving and shelving projects.

Moderators: @dr0id, @tejbabra, @artguillotine, @TyLeisher

–

@FinalCutWhiz: So, I am fairly new to archiving (not very good). Anyone wanna start sharing some tips? Please? #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:03 am

@Ital1anMeatball: What kind of archiving are you looking to do?n #PostChat – September 29, 2011, 1:04 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @Ital1anMeatball well, right now I only have one external HDD with all my projects with ALL the files. How can I archive them? #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:05 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @Ital1anMeatball I want to store them and easily access them if a client needs an edit done or extras. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:05 am

@chicagoaviduser: My first thing is to have a place for everything, and keep everything in those places. Then your not searching for what to BU. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:05 am

@NinjaKittay: Heya, I’d like to know how people approach deletion of preview files/raw footage (what to keep + when to keep it) w/ archiving. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:06 am

@TejBabra: Sorry for the delay I had some tech difficulties #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:06 am

@NinjaKittay: @TejBabra I did as well! D: #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:06 am

@Ital1anMeatball: I’m assuming ur working with FCP, so it’s a bit different, but you should look at alt HDD, pssibly some sort of Raid system (cont) #PostChat – September 29, 2011, 1:06 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @FinalCutWhiz @Ital1anMeatball When it comes to drives, I have one folder per project and divide that folder into subcategories.n #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:07 am

@TejBabra: @NinjaKittay I hope it was not post related… n #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:07 am

@Ital1anMeatball: that way they are archived and also protected. At work we have several E-Sata Raid discs set up #PostChat – September 29, 2011, 1:07 am

@kyl33t: I keep all my media in 1 place on 1 drive, projects access it there. Archival is deletion of render files & move to archive drive. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:07 am

@TejBabra: I like to organize my archives by date, project, and of course timecodes. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:07 am

@FinalCutWhiz: For those using FCP, do you store all ur files on one drive? I know @LarryJordanFCP suggests projects on internal, media external #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:07 am

@NinjaKittay: @TejBabra hah oh just tech difficulties here >.< (aka: twitter's hamster was slacking) #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:08 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @AvidAsstEditor @Ital1anMeatball that's what I do as well. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:08 am

@adoxography_: @kyl33t Yep, I do the same #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:08 am

@NinjaKittay: @FinalCutWhiz I store all my projects on one drive currently. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:08 am

@joetombarello: Dayjob: Backup to server & external hardrives… Freelance: Backup projects & footage to dual layer DVD & dual external hardrives #Postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:08 am

@kyl33t: @NinjaKittay i keep all the raw footage bc i shoot tapeless. as soon as deliverables are approved, render files go byebye. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:08 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @kyl33t what exactly do you move to the archive drive? #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:08 am

@Ital1anMeatball: I work with a Unity, so when we have a project everything goes on that one space, so it's easy to back up it all lives in 1 place #PostChat – September 29, 2011, 1:09 am

@kyl33t: @FinalCutWhiz project file and assets created specifically for that project. media is in media library permanently from beginning. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:09 am

@TejBabra: @NinjaKittay as was mine ! #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:09 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @kyl33t @NinjaKittay yes, I forgot about render files. When I was short on space I remembered them and instantly got 150+ space #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:09 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @chicagoaviduser yeah I know… I do back up my internal though. Should start backing up external. #PostChat – September 29, 2011, 1:09 am

@TejBabra: @joetombarello that is a good method. I back up on several drives… just in case. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:10 am

@kyl33t: i'm a one person op. i have redundant working drives and media library drives, and 2 archive drives. it's odd but it works. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:10 am

@NinjaKittay: @FinalCutWhiz @kyl33t nice, yeah. A good bit of my projects are tapes, and now current ones moving into tapeless. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:10 am

@chicagoaviduser: One Folder for Project, ALL elements for that project live in that folder. And that folder get backed up daily to external drives #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:10 am

@NinjaKittay: @TejBabra oh LOL maybe a zombie got loose in twitter :O #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:10 am

@joetombarello: @kyl33t @FinalCutWhiz @NinjaKittay I like that deletion of the render files workflow before shelving it #Postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:11 am

@chicagoaviduser: I have a Avid Unity, so I do things a little bit different. now then what I did before the Unity. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:11 am

@FinalCutWhiz: I use to work on tape, now it's all tapeless. What should I be archiving? #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:11 am

@kyl33t: @NinjaKittay i wish stuff was still on tapes sometimes bc you can just pop it back in and batch capture if necessary #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:11 am

@TejBabra: @NinjaKittay ha ha ah… the Zombie is back. Call George A Romero ! He will know what to do #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:11 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @kyl33t @NinjaKittay I agree! That's the one plus with tapes. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:12 am

@NinjaKittay: @kyl33t Yes I was going to mention I find that convenient with tape, but so much is moving to tapeless now… #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:12 am

@kyl33t: @FinalCutWhiz i wonder do people back up the whole card structure? my tapeless workflow is unique.. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:12 am

@joetombarello: @TejBabra When its archival footage that is really important, I make sure its in two physical places in case of fire, theft etc. #PostChat – September 29, 2011, 1:12 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @kyl33t @NinjaKittay Even with tape, I would do an archive to videotape through Avid. Then all GFX, music etc to a drive and DVDsn #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:12 am

@craigbergonzoni: .@TejBabra What form of media does everyone archive to? #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:13 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @kyl33t after every shoot, I create a disk image of my SD card for backup. #PostChat – September 29, 2011, 1:13 am

@TejBabra: I like using my new Caldigit VR Raid. Excellent for mirroring back ups, and hot swapable #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:13 am

@chicagoaviduser: For media from tapeless camera, I copy all it all to 2 hard drives before it even touches the edit system, unless it's XDCAM HD #postchat. – September 29, 2011, 1:13 am

@kyl33t: @FinalCutWhiz that's a good idea.. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:14 am

@Dr0id: I still trust tape more than drives. #PostChat – September 29, 2011, 1:14 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @kyl33t yep, but make sure they are compressed or the files will be huge! #PostChat – September 29, 2011, 1:14 am

@Hitecsoftouch: #postchat I can not stay to play, I have to run away. I will be here to play, another week or day. – September 29, 2011, 1:14 am

@TejBabra: @joetombarello theft …. yes …fire… I hope not ! #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:14 am

@NinjaKittay: @Dr0id Yeah, I'm with ya on that. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:14 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @Dr0id Amen to that! #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:14 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @Dr0id there you are! Was wondering when you were gonna show up #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:14 am

@couryc: @Dr0id same here, its always best to have a tape master no matter what #PostChat – September 29, 2011, 1:15 am

@kyl33t: @Dr0id i used to. now i don't trust ANYTHING! #paranoidpost #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:15 am

@chicagoaviduser: @craigbergonzoni I currently back everything up to 2 harddrives, and then elements, like Photoshop, and Avid Projects to optical. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:15 am

@TejBabra: @Dr0id HDCAM Tape for the win. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:15 am

@TejBabra: @Hitecsoftouch fine be that way. lol #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:15 am

@kyl33t: While we're talking, can anyone recommend a decent express card? #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:15 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @Dr0id but yes, tapes are more secure. One drive can fail and you can lose all your footage. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:15 am

@Dr0id: Yeah, I'm still at work. Sorry #PostChat Sept is long hours for me. – September 29, 2011, 1:15 am

@joetombarello: Anyone have any experience with the "Drobo" line? We might be getting one at the dayjob. #Postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:15 am

@NinjaKittay: @FinalCutWhiz @Dr0id that's a scary thought. I've never had it happen. Has anyone ever had that actually happen? #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:16 am

@FinalCutWhiz: I am definitely going to look at the transcript to this Post Chat. Too much good info coming at once! #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:16 am

@Dr0id: Agreed RT @TejBabra: @Dr0id HDCAM Tape for the win. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:16 am

@iGert: I got a QNAP TS410 to backup my data #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:16 am

@Hitecsoftouch: #postchat Dr. Suess style… – September 29, 2011, 1:16 am

@chicagoaviduser: I also use XDcam discs to back up to. But we acquire mostly XDcam, so I already have the disc and drives in house. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:16 am

@TyLeisher: Finally made it! Been a few weeks since I was able to attend #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:16 am

@TejBabra: @joetombarello yes I have….not fast enough to work with. But as backups they are fine. Also a little glitchy to work with. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:16 am

@FinalCutWhiz: Who do you guys buy drives from? The company I interned for uses G-Tech. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:17 am

@kyl33t: @TyLeisher welcome back! #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:17 am

@Ital1anMeatball: as a full back up, I use a Quantum LTO back up systemn #PostChat – September 29, 2011, 1:17 am

@iGert: But I'm not using the built in RAID solotion. In stead I prepared 4 drives of 2 TB inside the QNAP TS410 #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:17 am

@BadBoyOfEditing: @TejBabra @Dr0id HDCAMSR or DBeta are sweet backups. HD did come and ruin it all tho. 800GB for each feature version in 10bit. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:17 am

@couryc: @Dr0id also, DropBox #PostChat – September 29, 2011, 1:17 am

@TejBabra: @Dr0id Also because it forces you to use timecode, and I really like timecode. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:17 am

@westonWoodbury: @joetombarello ugh. I did a couple projects archived to Dvd once. #neveragain #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:17 am

@TyLeisher: @couryc @Dr0id I LOVE dropbox. Set something to render there, then watch it remotely from iPhone app. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:18 am

@joetombarello: @couryc Dropbox FTW #PostChat – September 29, 2011, 1:18 am

@FinalCutWhiz: Here's my (sad) setup: 1 750GB HDD, all files stored on there. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:18 am

@couryc: its hard to say what the future is going to hold though, with the HDCAM SR situation as it is #PostChat – September 29, 2011, 1:18 am

@westonWoodbury: @kyl33t how large of projects do you get? How large is your 1 media drive? Reasons I can't do that #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:18 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @TyLeisher @couryc @Dr0id I've never used Dropbox for videos. What can you use it for besides deliverables? #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:19 am

@craigbergonzoni: @chicagoaviduser Cool. That's pretty much our flow also but I always like to hear different methods. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:19 am

@chicagoaviduser: Post Haste is a great app for setting up your folders so that everything always goes in the right place. http://t.co/IYuaUZvz #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:19 am

@FinalCutWhiz: (regarding my setup) no back ups at all! I know, I am playing with fire. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:19 am

@joetombarello: @westonWoodbury Tell us the horror story… How much data? : ) #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:20 am

@TyLeisher: @FinalCutWhiz @couryc @Dr0id I use it for VFX mostly, export an image sequence then check my phone to see whats rendered #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:20 am

@chicagoaviduser: For me it's key to be organized while working, so you can easily find what needs to be BU. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:20 am

@rassnapp: @Dr0id I love tape. But I'm always playing catch-up w/ my submastering, not enough hours in the day! #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:21 am

@iGert: Nice thing about the QNAP drives is the built in software to do remote backups. It works around the world! #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:21 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @chicagoaviduser yep, I use to suck at organization. Now I make sure everything is nice and tidy. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:21 am

@chicagoaviduser: Being organized also makes it easier to find the file that your looking for from 3 years ago. #postchat. – September 29, 2011, 1:21 am

@kyl33t: @westonWoodbury not that big. my largest projects have been 45 minute dvds, most are short web vids. yea doesnt work for all. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:22 am

@TejBabra: @BadBoyOfEditing @Dr0id yes very true. But do you remember edit suites with this ? http://t.co/4xyBLFM4 #PostChat – September 29, 2011, 1:22 am

@chicagoaviduser: @FinalCutWhiz Try Post Haste to create your folder template http://t.co/IYuaUZvz #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:22 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @chicagoaviduser I usually include a .doc file detailing any problems people might have with a project. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:22 am

@NinjaKittay: @chicagoaviduser yeah totally agree! Bad organization will come back to haunt you later if you end up rushing through a project. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:22 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @chicagoaviduser yeah, I recently saw that. I definitely want to try it out #PostChat – September 29, 2011, 1:22 am

@westonWoodbury: @joetombarello It was something like 250GB. Winrar'ed into DVD sized chucks, mass burning. Terrible idea. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:22 am

@chicagoaviduser: @TejBabra Just threw one of those in the dumpster last week. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:23 am

@joetombarello: The key to good archiving is being aware of it when you begin the project. #Postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:23 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @westonWoodbury @joetombarello ohh that sucks :/ #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:23 am

@AvidAsstEditor: Tip of the night! RT @joetombarello: The key to good archiving is being aware of it when you begin the project. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:23 am

@westonWoodbury: @kyl33t yeah, I have multiple projects right now near 2TB space. Wish I could afford a better solution to keep things in 1 place. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:24 am

@FinalCutWhiz: RT @joetombarello: The key to good archiving is being aware of it when you begin the project. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:24 am

@chicagoaviduser: I use CDFinder to catalog all of my back up drives. Makes easier to find the project, or file or project http://t.co/PQk15hbr #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:24 am

@westonWoodbury: @FinalCutWhiz @westonWoodbury @joetombarello (never again)! #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:25 am

@TejBabra: @westonWoodbury @kyl33t you always want more space. I have nearly 12TB and it's not enough. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:25 am

@BadBoyOfEditing: @TejBabra had to get this old trailer from 2000 which was on UMatic. Had to capture it 10 times and put all the good caps together #PostChat – September 29, 2011, 1:25 am

@kyl33t: @westonWoodbury yikes. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:25 am

@c0ina: We only ever master to HD-Cam SR. For us, standard HD-Cam is only OK for release dubs to networks. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:25 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @TejBabra that's plentyyyy for me #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:26 am

@chicagoaviduser: When using shared storage, like Unity, it's even more important to keep things organized. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:26 am

@har0ldm: My backups go either on tape or Bluray, depending. I do media managers and conforms for backups, and a High Res Qt for ref. #PostChat – September 29, 2011, 1:26 am

@NinjaKittay: @chicagoaviduser very helpful links, ty /bookmarking. Never used either of them. #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:26 am

@westonWoodbury: I'm starting to adopt @chrisfenwick's bare drive system. Trying Lian Li enclosures. So far, so good. They make RAID enclosures too #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:26 am

@TejBabra: @BadBoyOfEditing wow that sounds like a real fun job! Were you thrilled to work with UMatic? #postchat – September 29, 2011, 1:26 am

@TejBabra: @Salah_Baker what tips can you give for surviving festivals? #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:02 am

@jeffrey723: #postchat 3 words for film festivals… Withoutabox. Withoutabox. Withoutabox. – September 15, 2011, 1:03 am

@jamiecobbeditor: If you can help it, only submit completed films. Spoke to a programmer who couldn’t see passed temp score. Schedule accordingly. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:03 am

@TejBabra: @NinjaKittay Humor is crucial! especially when it come to deliverables. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:04 am

@NinjaKittay: @jeffrey723 I have 3 more words: Check. Double Check. Triple Check. (everything!) x3 #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:04 am

@FinalCutWhiz: Hello everyone #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:04 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @jeffrey723 What is withoutabox? I don’t know a thing about festivals. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:04 am

@TejBabra: @jamiecobbeditor great tip! don’t hand it rough cuts either! #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:04 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @TejBabra @jamiecobbeditor You have to say don’t hand in rough cuts? You must be pulling my leg!n #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:05 am

@FinalCutWhiz: I recently submitted a documentary to about 30 festivals. So far I’ve heard back from 2 who both accepted mine #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:05 am

@NinjaKittay: @TejBabra definitely considering there will be bumps along the way. It -will- be stressful, that’s where it comes handy #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:06 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @FinalCutWhiz Congrats! #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:06 am

@TejBabra: @AvidAsstEditor @jamiecobbeditor nope. seen it happen…and the final film was completely different than the rough cut. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:06 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @AvidAsstEditor thank you kind sir #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:06 am

@NinjaKittay: @FinalCutWhiz that’s awesome :3 Bet you’re excited! #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:06 am

@TejBabra: @FinalCutWhiz congratz! #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:06 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @NinjaKittay yes I am thanks #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:06 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @TejBabra thanks!! #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:06 am

@jamiecobbeditor: @AvidAsstEditor @TejBabra Festivals accept rough cuts, they usually don’t program them though. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:07 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @TejBabra @jamiecobbeditor Wow. I have a problem sending rough cuts to producers let alone to a festival! #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:07 am

@BadBoyOfEditing: Has any1 had further success based on a submitted film from a film festival. I really don’t see the point in Film Festivals. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:07 am

@macgarp: @TejBabra ah cool. something I am interested in but have no clue about. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:07 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @BadBoyOfEditing I know a friend who got a pilot picked up by HBO. Definitely good for the loot & financing other projects maybe? #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:08 am

@TejBabra: @jamiecobbeditor @AvidAsstEditor Well they often say its temp music or it’s missing grading. And then the final film is different #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:08 am

@NinjaKittay: @BadBoyOfEditing Hm. There are awards, new network opportunities, and chance to explore new genre for film contests/festivals ;o #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:08 am

@jeffrey723: #postchat other big piece of advice: your film is too long. Cut it down more — shorter is better. Much better. – September 15, 2011, 1:08 am

@TejBabra: @BadBoyOfEditing I recently onlined a film for the Vancouver Film festival. SO that worked out. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:09 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @TejBabra @jamiecobbeditor So that is normal protocol to submit an unfinished product? Mind boggling. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:09 am

@NinjaKittay: @AvidAsstEditor @BadBoyOfEditing wow that’s a pretty cool opportunity! Best of luck to them. #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:09 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @BadBoyOfEditing they are great for me since I am applying to colleges now. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:09 am

@jamiecobbeditor: @BadBoyOfEditing agreed. Unless you get lucky & into one of the big ones. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:09 am

@TejBabra: @macgarp press conferences? #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:09 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @jeffrey723 What is a typical length for a festival film? #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:09 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @AvidAsstEditor @jeffrey723 the doc I submitted is about 20min #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:10 am

@Dr0id: Can’t Post Chat tonight because I’m workin’ :/ #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:10 am

@macgarp: @TejBabra film festivals. lol tho I go as a fan to see celebs #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:10 am

@TejBabra: @Salah_Baker NAB is a festival of other types. Gear and drinking. Lol #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:11 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @Dr0id Awww! That blows! See you next week? #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:11 am

@TejBabra: We shall miss you tonight. RT @Dr0id: Cant Post Chat tonight because Im workin :/ #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:11 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @BadBoyOfEditing yeah, looks great on resumes and some offer scholarships! #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:11 am

@macgarp: @Dr0id hah! so what. I am workin too. editing your fave newscast. multitask my friend! lol j/k #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:11 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @TejBabra @Salah_Baker I saw that from all of the tweets from this year. Definitely going next year! #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:11 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @Dr0id aww, boo to work!! #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:11 am

@NinjaKittay: @Dr0id *waves* hope work goes fast D: #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:11 am

@jamiecobbeditor: @AvidAsstEditor Yeah, I wouldn’t recommend it. Plan ahead. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:11 am

@Salah_Baker: @David_Newman #Postchat is about film festival prep, join in – September 15, 2011, 1:11 am

@jeffrey723: @AvidAsstEditor #postchat depends on the program. Any short I see longer than 12 minutes makes me cringe and die inside – September 15, 2011, 1:11 am

@NinjaKittay: @FinalCutWhiz agreed! I think it fleshed out my resume quite a bit to refer back to these awards/contests, etc. @BadBoyOfEditing #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:12 am

@TejBabra: @macgarp ah… Yeah I normally just see the celebs on my moniter as I edit the conference or b-roll. like now… #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:12 am

@pirid: @AvidAsstEditor @tejbabra @jamiecobbeditor many festivals accept Works in Progress. Don’t know acceptance rate tho. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:12 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @jeffrey723 Wow. I don’t think I have ever even been to a film festival. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:12 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @NinjaKittay @badboyofediting yep and someone might notice you and hire you #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:12 am

@jasonkonoza: @TejBabra Have you worked on anything showing at #TIFF11 this week? #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:12 am

@jeffrey723: @FinalCutWhiz @AvidAsstEditor #postchat that’s a funky length for programmers – tough to fit with shorts, has to play with a short feature – September 15, 2011, 1:12 am

@Salah_Baker: @TejBabra I had to do all video ads for company divisions in booth, so it’s close…;) #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:12 am

@BadBoyOfEditing: @jeffrey723 @AvidAsstEditor totally agree but if u cant make a short that is 10mins or less u are doing it wrong. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:13 am

@seafcpug: RT @Salah_Baker: @David_Newman #Postchat is about film festival prep, join in – September 15, 2011, 1:13 am

@TejBabra: @jasonkonoza @TejBabra Working on some of the press conferences, and promos. But no film entered this year. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:13 am

@natums: @BadBoyOfEditing Most success from fests comes from networking and ‘award winning’ for resumes. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:13 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @BadBoyOfEditing @jeffrey723 Well, of all things to take note of I will definitely remember shorter is better. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:13 am

@TejBabra: @Salah_Baker I had to cover some events and hang with people like Jay. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:14 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @natums @BadBoyOfEditing Are all festivals created equal? Or are some more prestigious? #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:14 am

@BadBoyOfEditing: @natums yeh jsut think with the million film festivals out there its watered down as hell. Not as prestigious as it used to be. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:14 am

@TejBabra: What about online festivals such as Vimeo or Youtube? #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:15 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @AvidAsstEditor @natums @BadBoyOfEditing I’m sure there are definitely ones who are prestigious! #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:15 am

@macgarp: @TejBabra hah well the celebs in my book are prolly not celebs to many other ppl… went to a horror movie convention filmfest #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:15 am

@NinjaKittay: @BadBoyOfEditing @natums It’s true there are a wide range of festivals out there. Makes variety, gives you options though! #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:15 am

@TejBabra: @macgarp never been to a horror film festival. sounds like fun #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:16 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @TejBabra haven’t really applied to any festivals that are strictly online. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:16 am

@jaimetheactress: RT @jamiecobbeditor: If you can help it, only submit completed films. Spoke to a programmer who couldn’t see passed temp score. Schedule accordingly. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:16 am

@NinjaKittay: @TejBabra I’ve participated in a YouTube contest, had Ben Stein promoting animal rights – voting was weird though admittedly. #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:16 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @TejBabra @macgarp haha that does sound like fun #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:16 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @FinalCutWhiz @TejBabra There are online-only film festivals? Gee whiz! #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:17 am

@macgarp: @BadBoyOfEditing @jeffrey723 @AvidAsstEditor lol so true! that defines “short” #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:17 am

@TejBabra: @FinalCutWhiz maybe we should have one for cutting on AOTG? #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:17 am

@jeffrey723: @AvidAsstEditor @BadBoyOfEditing #postchat gotta be ruthless and. Only use what you absolutely need to tell a story, do not indulge – September 15, 2011, 1:17 am

@BadBoyOfEditing: @NinjaKittay @natums really think the festival circuit keeps you stuck. Submit your film and move on! #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:17 am

@macgarp: @TejBabra a horror film fest is like the only kind where it’s actually fun to watch a terrible film and u see ppl on their way up #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:18 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @TejBabra hmm that might be cool cc: @artguillotine #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:18 am

@BadBoyOfEditing: @NinjaKittay @natums a short I post supervised won a french animation festival over a year after it came out. pretty sad. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:18 am

@NinjaKittay: @BadBoyOfEditing @natums I understand. I enjoy adding it in throughout the year as time allows. Gives me something to do also. #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:18 am

@TejBabra: @macgarp true…but you can see some great indie stuff too right? #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:18 am

@TejBabra: @FinalCutWhiz @artguillotine nah…I will just launch on my tech blog there and not tell him …LOL! #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:19 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @TejBabra @artguillotine hahaha #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:19 am

@jasonkonoza: @macgarp @tejbabra Sounds like a blast, where was it? #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:19 am

@NinjaKittay: @BadBoyOfEditing oh wow D: There’s a 48 hour film project that I was involved in that has won award past it’s year mark though! #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:19 am

@macgarp: @TejBabra lol ALL of the films I saw were extremely independent. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:20 am

@BadBoyOfEditing: @NinjaKittay @TejBabra lol i hate online voting! Breeds the worst film makers and bad competitions. Becomes a spam festival #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:20 am

@westonWoodbury: @AvidAsstEditor @TejBabra @jamiecobbeditor I don’t think so. Most I’ve had films submitted to want finished projects only. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:20 am

@TejBabra: @BadBoyOfEditing @NinjaKittay @TejBabra good point. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:20 am

@randy_e_lee: Be selective about the festivals you submit to. You’re more likely to be accepted than if you only submit to the big ones. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:20 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @BadBoyOfEditing @NinjaKittay @TejBabra yeah I hate online voting too. Too much cheating :/ #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:20 am

@NinjaKittay: @BadBoyOfEditing @TejBabra EESH don’t get me started =/ I do dislike online voting for those reasons, agreed. #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:21 am

@TejBabra: @macgarp nice! #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:21 am

@macgarp: @jasonkonoza @tejbabra this was at @SpookyEmpire horror convention in Orlando. my friend was a vendor so I got discount tix #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:21 am

@FinalCutWhiz: The sad thing about submitting to festivals is some don’t want the video to be public yet, so you cannot show it or put it online #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:21 am

@NinjaKittay: @macgarp @TejBabra never been to a horror festival, though I have seen some horror films in a festival does sound fun! #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:22 am

@jamiecobbeditor: @randy_e_lee Premiere status matters to a lot of festivals. Try for the ones that matter to you first #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:22 am

@westonWoodbury: @jeffrey723 @FinalCutWhiz @AvidAsstEditor interesting point on the 20m range. Worth taking into account. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:22 am

@natums: @BadBoyOfEditing true. It’s about getting into the big festivals, smaller ones just limit what else you can do with your film. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:22 am

@NinjaKittay: @jamiecobbeditor @randy_e_lee that’s the key, enter one you’ll love then it won’t matter the outcome as much as the exp you had. #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:23 am

@TejBabra: I have to cut a festival version , and then a version for broadcast. (cutdown) #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:23 am

@jeffrey723: @FinalCutWhiz if it can be shorter, it should be shorter! When in doubt, it’s too long. should be the cardinal rule of filmmaking #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:23 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @natums @BadBoyOfEditing So what is considered a big festival? I see them at the beginning of films but have no context for them. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:23 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @jeffrey723 sadly the producer wanted ever little bit to stay in it #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:24 am

@randy_e_lee: @jamiecobbeditor Sadly, your relationship with the coordinators of the festival is often just as important as premiere status. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:24 am

@westonWoodbury: @BadBoyOfEditing @natums I agree. I dont know where the line is between ‘this festival is just a giant money maker’ & ‘legitimate’ #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:24 am

@NinjaKittay: @westonWoodbury There are certainly times to question that, it’s good to, but plenty of decent ones to be had, if you like em. #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:25 am

@jeffrey723: @FinalCutWhiz #postchat Common problem. Too long is the #1 problem with everything I see at fests. It’s like this… #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:25 am

@BadBoyOfEditing: @AvidAsstEditor @natums I’d say rule of thumb if the city’s film fest has a pop of over 2mill & is that cities main fest its big. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:26 am

@TejBabra: @BadBoyOfEditing @AvidAsstEditor @natums does my backyard count? #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:27 am

@BadBoyOfEditing: @westonWoodbury @natums well if u get spam from them they are not that prestigious. Newport Beach & palm Springs come to mind. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:27 am

@westonWoodbury: @NinjaKittay the thing is it gets expensive. REALLY quick. | Submitting to film festivals | #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:27 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @BadBoyOfEditing @natums That is a great answer! Two thumbs up! #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:27 am

@natums: @AvidAsstEditor @BadBoyOfEditing Toronto, Sundance, Tribeca, there are others but those are the top 3 off the top of my head. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:27 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @TejBabra hahaha nice one #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:27 am

@macgarp: as a fan it’s a lot of fun to go to these festivals, provided they don’t get too pretentious. I like seeing new stuff #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:27 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @westonWoodbury @NinjaKittay How expensive is it and what are you submitting? #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:27 am

@jeffrey723: @FinalCutWhiz #postchat indie film is stupidly resource intensive. If you had the money to make it longer, you wouldn’t be indie #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:27 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @westonWoodbury @NinjaKittay yes it does! The producer of my doc spent nearly $1,000 on 30 festivals. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:27 am

@NinjaKittay: @westonWoodbury Very true! I suppose that’s why I’d say pick n choose battles there. Not all are $$$, it depends D: #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:28 am

@BadBoyOfEditing: @TejBabra @AvidAsstEditor @natums if alcohol is provided then, yes! #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:28 am

@westonWoodbury: @BadBoyOfEditing @natums hmm not sure there; I mean technically, I get a lot of “spam” from Sundance, for example. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:28 am

@TejBabra: @BadBoyOfEditing @TejBabra @AvidAsstEditor @natums It would be the biggest festival ! lol #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:28 am

@NinjaKittay: @FinalCutWhiz @westonWoodbury whoah! yeah…it can add it up. #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:28 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @AvidAsstEditor $1,000 was nearly spent on festival submissions for my doc. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:29 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @FinalCutWhiz @westonWoodbury @NinjaKittay But that is only about $30 a submission. That doesn’t sound too expensive. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:29 am

@jeffrey723: @westonWoodbury @NinjaKittay no doubt, I spent almost $500 submitting my short, got in 9 fests, bounced from 10, waiting on 12. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:29 am

@westonWoodbury: @AvidAsstEditor @NinjaKittay shorts. They can run anywhere from Free to close to 80, 90$ entry. More? Maybe, not exactly sure. | #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:29 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @AvidAsstEditor it varies, some more, some less. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:29 am

@westonWoodbury: @jeffrey723 @NinjaKittay the last film I was involved with is probably about the same figures. It’s got into only 1 so far. | #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:30 am

@NinjaKittay: @westonWoodbury @AvidAsstEditor yeah, participating in short film festivals are cheaper I believe than lengthier ones. #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:30 am

@jamiecobbeditor: @randy_e_lee Yeah, for certain festivals that is very true #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:30 am

@BadBoyOfEditing: @FinalCutWhiz @westonWoodbury @NinjaKittay the big question how many of those 30 did it get accepted in? #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:30 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @FinalCutWhiz I don’t know anything about festivals but I expected more but what they don’t take in $$$ they def take in time. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:30 am

@randy_e_lee: @FinalCutWhiz @AvidAsstEditor That depends on how many the film made it into. Again, selection of the right festivals is key. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:30 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @BadBoyOfEditing @westonwoodbury @ninjakittay only heard from 2 so far, both accepted it #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:31 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @AvidAsstEditor I think one of them might have been about $200, but I am not exactly sure #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:31 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @randy_e_lee @avidassteditor very true… #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:31 am

@jeffrey723: @westonWoodbury @NinjaKittay yes, avg acceptance =~5%, feels like. My current short is short&genre-specific, which does better #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:31 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @randy_e_lee @FinalCutWhiz Is there a festival guru out there to let you know where to submit?Would it be bad to blanket them all? #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:31 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @FinalCutWhiz Now, that is pricey! #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:32 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @AvidAsstEditor @randy_e_lee I’m sure books and blogs write about which festivals to apply. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:32 am

@TejBabra: This year was the first year we submitted on HDCAM, and Blu Ray. What deliverables have you used? #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:32 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @TejBabra online FTP and DVD. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:32 am

@NinjaKittay: @jeffrey723 @westonWoodbury yea, depends! Sometimes you’ll do short film that is very specific in genre, others not as much. #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:32 am

@westonWoodbury: @jeffrey723 @westonWoodbury @NinjaKittay what genre? Do we feel like some are overplayed, or harder/easier to get it if unique? #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:33 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @TejBabra some of the festivals I submitted in required it to be uploaded online. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:33 am

@randy_e_lee: @AvidAsstEditor Start w/ home city, cities where you filmed, fests that similar films have done well in, fests w/ target audience #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:33 am

@NinjaKittay: @FinalCutWhiz @TejBabra Ditto on that. mostly DVD, sometimes online, etc. #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:34 am

@jamiecobbeditor: @TejBabra Blu ray is cheaper and more convenient, but one fest had dinosaur of a player & movie skipped & never finished #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:34 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @randy_e_lee That is a lot of work. I commend anyone who goes through the process. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:34 am

@BadBoyOfEditing: @FinalCutWhiz @AvidAsstEditor @randy_e_lee LOL just googled “film festival scams” bit of a laugh I guess thats the first stop. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:34 am

@westonWoodbury: @TejBabra usually DVD/online for submitting, then they ask for better version once accepted. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:34 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @NinjaKittay @FinalCutWhiz @TejBabra yeah, I’ve actually never made a blu-ray #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:34 am

@NinjaKittay: @westonWoodbury I think there are certain genres that go over better than others, dark comedy is harder, fantasy easier to fit in? #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:35 am

@TejBabra: @jamiecobbeditor wow really? I remember when that used to happen when DVD came out with the dual layer format. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:35 am

@jeffrey723: @westonWoodbury @NinjaKittay edgy & offbeat & shorter is better. Straight, personal melodrama goes over badly 99% of the time. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:35 am

@TejBabra: @westonWoodbury online seems to be getting more popular for intail submissions. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:36 am

@westonWoodbury: @jeffrey723 @NinjaKittay yep yep, confirmed on both your comments. I think super-”artsy” is a big bonus, for better or worse. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:36 am

@NinjaKittay: @jeffrey723 @westonWoodbury also, don’t forget zombie/horror. For various reasons, always seems to be among winners in my exp. #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:36 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @TejBabra @westonWoodbury it is easier…. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:37 am

@jamiecobbeditor: @TejBabra Played fine in all of our decks. It was a friends film at Buffalo Niagra fest. Definitely not worth the time or money. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:37 am

@macgarp: @NinjaKittay ZOMBIES! yesssss #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:38 am

@TejBabra: @FinalCutWhiz @westonWoodbury I suppose, but as long as they ask for a proper copy later as we do crush these files out for onilne #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:38 am

@jeffrey723: @westonWoodbury @NinjaKittay edgy/gory/funny grabs attention. Subtle films get lost unless VERY carefully programmed, (ie never) #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:38 am

@TejBabra: @jamiecobbeditor sounds like a total waste. Sorry! #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:38 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @TejBabra @westonwoodbury oh definitely! #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:38 am

@TejBabra: @macgarp @NinjaKittay WHERE? #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:38 am

@NinjaKittay: @jeffrey723 @westonWoodbury Oh yes, felt the sting of that recently. Subtle might work in specific festival perhaps. #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:39 am

@NinjaKittay: @TejBabra @macgarp BEHIND YOU! :O #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:39 am

@jamiecobbeditor: @NinjaKittay nice! It always bugs me when the script, director, & DP can win awards, but not the editor. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:45 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @artguillotine I edited right up to an hour before the deadline of one. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:46 am

@NinjaKittay: @artguillotine Worst and best: 48 hour fest hands down D: #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:46 am

@jamiecobbeditor: @LosAngelesPost nice. Congrats! #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:46 am

@jeffrey723: Favorite fest = Palm Springs International Short Film Fest, and LA’s Dances With Films. Great organization, great screenings #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:46 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @jamiecobbeditor @NinjaKittay How is that possible? Editors aren’t just button pushers! #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:46 am

@TejBabra: @AlexLuster about the Zombie attack. or did you miss that one? #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:46 am

@NinjaKittay: @jamiecobbeditor yes! Agreed, the unfortunate part is it ends up going to most aparrent edits, not always ‘best’ edits #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:46 am

@AvidAsstEditor: @NinjaKittay @artguillotine I’ve heard some 48 hour horror stories. What a thrill! #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:46 am

@artguillotine: @FinalCutWhiz WHAT! #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:46 am

@NinjaKittay: @LosAngelesPost @jamiecobbeditor very nice, grats on the award. #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:47 am

@LosAngelesPost: Thanks And I’m a “Sound guy…” RT @jamiecobbeditor: @LosAngelesPost nice. Congrats! #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:47 am

@NinjaKittay: @AvidAsstEditor @artguillotine oh man…it’s so intense and high pressure but rewarding as well. #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:47 am

@theriotisover: Worst? Kid in my film school talked me into entering that Grindcore trailer fest. Ugh. On two day’s notice. :/ Did not end well. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:47 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @artguillotine haha yeah, but we ended up winning anyways. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:48 am

@NinjaKittay: @TejBabra @AvidAsstEditor @artguillotine This has been 2nd year for me now. Gotta be on your toes for it, it’s never the same! #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:48 am

@artguillotine: @FinalCutWhiz Nice. @ninjakittay, I enjoy 48hr film fests but as long as the team I’m with is easy to work with #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:49 am

@westonWoodbury: @artguillotine nothing too crazy, I think an overnighter, delivering dvd by hand within the last hour. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:49 am

@NinjaKittay: I’ve got all the horror and fun about em on my blog – http://t.co/QImsvNh6 only a few posts down. heheh. For any curious. #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:50 am

@TejBabra: @NinjaKittay @TejBabra @AvidAsstEditor @artguillotine especially if you get stuck on a genre…we had “western” #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:50 am

@jamiecobbeditor: Best part of festival experiences is seeing an audience react to your work on the big screen #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:50 am

@randy_e_lee: #48hourfilm festivals are fun.. but definitely not anyone’s best work. Barely count as festivals, except maybe larger markets. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:50 am

@NinjaKittay: @artguillotine @FinalCutWhiz Yeah the team is important for sure. having cast show up too xD and equipment not fizzling out D: #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:50 am

@FinalCutWhiz: Real quick about deadlines: I was asked to film a wedding two days before it! Then he wanted it edited in 2 weeks. Ugh! #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:50 am

@jeffrey723: @jamiecobbeditor Yes it is! Especially when you’re sure they won’t dig it. Great feeling. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:51 am

@artguillotine: @westonWoodbury Not too bad, I’ve had the director have to leave for NY while we were locking. Producer = Not Pleased #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:51 am

@TejBabra: @artguillotine what about timecode? #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:51 am

@westonWoodbury: @NinjaKittay @jamiecobbeditor exactly. Subtle editing doesn’t exactly rack in the awards. Same for other positions, ftmp. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:51 am

@theriotisover: Another worst: NYU director recut short before screening at First Run. I find out in the theater. I stopped speaking to that dude. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:51 am

@NinjaKittay: @TejBabra @AvidAsstEditor @artguillotine OH man, western!? we drew dark comedy this year, and fantasy last year. #Postchat – September 15, 2011, 1:51 am

@FinalCutWhiz: @NinjaKittay @artguillotine on a tight deadline like that, you need to make sure everyone is on board and knows what’s what. #PostChat – September 15, 2011, 1:51 am

@randy_e_lee: @natums @westonWoodbury I'm a hired gun. As an editor or colorist, I don't personally get much from them. Directors/Producers do. #postchat – September 15, 2011, 2:16 am

TejBabra Welcome to Post Chat everyone. Tonight we discuss Docs and Reality series ! #Postchat -6:01 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
TyLeisher @TejBabra I’m sure the LAPD is none too happy with my driving skills though #postchat -6:01 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
westonWoodbury Will probably skip out on this one due to due stuff. Will browse back through and read up on the goodness! #postchat #postchat -6:01 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id @westonWoodbury cool. good luck. #PostChat -6:02 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
TejBabra @westonWoodbury we will it up later too #Postchat -6:02 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id Any reality series cutters out there? I know it’s a staple of post work here in #NYC. #PostChat -6:03 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
TejBabra Onlineing a doc can be difficult yet very rewarding. #Postchat -6:03 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
toddzelin IT’S A TRAP! RT @Dr0id It’s time for #PostChat! Tonight we are chatting about cutting Reality and DocuDramas. #PostChat -6:03 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id @TejBabra how so? #PostChat -6:03 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id ha! :/ RT @toddzelin: ITS A TRAP! RT @Dr0id Its time for #PostChat! Tonight we are chatting about cutting Reality and DocuDramas. #PostChat -6:04 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
AvidAsstEditor I definitely fall into the reality category and a lot of work in DC is going in that direction. #PostChat -6:04 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id @toddzelin do you really think it’s a trap? #PostChat -6:04 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
TejBabra @Dr0id all the different formats in a doc, i.e codecs, tapes, footgae, stock, and even frame sizes. Conforming them all #Postchat -6:05 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id @AvidAsstEditor Discovery is in DC right? #PostChat -6:05 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
TejBabra @Dr0id @AvidAsstEditor They are! Amazing place ! Love DC #Postchat -6:06 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id @TejBabra do you conform as you ingest or as you output your deliverable? #PostChat -6:06 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
toddzelin @Dr0id The money is a trap. It’s better than most editing jobs out there. Get used to the $$, adjust your lifestyle, trapped. #PostChat -6:06 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id @AvidAsstEditor what kind of Reality work are you cutting? #PostChat -6:06 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
AvidAsstEditor @Dr0id Yup! (Actually Silver Spring, MD) but they farm out a lot of their stuff. #PostChat -6:07 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
jamesnw I don’t care if the tempeh is done, I’m late for #postchat. Oh, hi everybody! -6:07 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
AvidAsstEditor Was working on Swamp Brothers and did some Travel Channel work (show doesn’t have a name yet) now doing promos #PostChat -6:07 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id @toddzelin did you feel trapped because you didn’t like the type of work? You intended to go a different direction? #PostChat -6:08 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
AvidAsstEditor @jamesnw Hiya! Glad you could make it! #PostChat -6:08 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
DylanReeve @toddzelin @Dr0id I actually enjoy cutting reality – something about getting to craft the story in the suite.. #PostChat -6:08 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id @jamesnw ha! hi! #PostChat -6:08 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
TejBabra @Dr0id normally conform b4 going 2 color. That means re-captureing D offline stuff, conform frame rates and sizes then go 2 color #Postchat -6:08 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
TyLeisher How do you organize your footage? Do you do it differently than in a narrative? #postchat -6:08 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
AlexLuster Hello fellow editors #PostChat -6:09 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id @DylanReeve @toddzelin from my limited experience in reality, I felt a lot of freedom to help shape story. #PostChat -6:09 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
ejm634 I haven’t cut any reality TV but I’ve been on set for a few shows. It would be cool to see it from the post perspective now! #postchat -6:09 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
toddzelin On the plus side… I’ve learned more about story and manipulation from reality work than I would have in any other format #PostChat -6:09 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
TejBabra @TyLeisher in a Doc, it’s hard to do so as footage continues to come in as you are cutting. #Postchat -6:09 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id @AlexLuster welcome! No more shootSleepEdit? #PostChat -6:09 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
jamesnw Is there an NLE of choice for reality shows? #postchat -6:09 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
kyl33t I guess I do a lot of corporate reality/nonfic. It’s boring and not nearly as involved but I’ve managed some interesting pieces. #postchat -6:09 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
TejBabra @AlexLuster Hey Alex ! #Postchat -6:10 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id RT @jamesnw: Is there an NLE of choice for reality shows? #PostChat -6:10 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
AvidAsstEditor @TyLeisher Definitely by day and then AEs have to go through and log all the broll and stuff. #PostChat -6:10 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
jamesnw @kyl33t Are they there to make friends? #postchat -6:11 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
TejBabra @toddzelin interesting I have never cut reality, I have learned a lot from docs though. #Postchat -6:11 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id @ejm634 have you been able to see the end result of the reality work you saw from set? Was it very different than you thought? #PostChat -6:11 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
kyl33t @TyLeisher i utilize a lot of bins and lots of markers. much different than fiction, lots more hunting around. #postchat -6:11 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
AvidAsstEditor @toddzelin I have to agree. You stretch that footage to its limits! #PostChat -6:11 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
DylanReeve @dr0id @toddzelin In at least one show I’ve worked on I was almost entirely responsible for the story. I got very loose storyline #postchat -6:11 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
AvidAsstEditor @jamesnw I’m Avid through and through but my last 2 jobs have been FCP. Avid and FCP need to have a baby. #PostChat -6:12 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
toddzelin Reality TV is just a hyper doc. #PostChat (that’s going to piss off some people I think ) -6:12 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
kyl33t @jamesnw which tweet are you replying to? lol. #postchat -6:12 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id What are some perks of cutting reality over say, fiction pieces? #PostChat -6:12 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
DylanReeve @dr0id @jamesnw Same NLE choice as for all editing… Avid Media Composer #postchat -6:12 PM Sep 7th, 2011

glenmontgomery .@kyl33t @tyleisher markers are possible the greatest tool I have made regular use of, for quick access and note taking. #Postchat -6:13 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id @sedvideo welcome #PostChat -6:13 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
jamesnw @kyl33t Corporate reality videos , referring to this- http://t.co/PWnR9dY #postchat -6:13 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id @AvidAsstEditor @DylanReeve @jamesnw have to agree. Although I heart FCP 7 as well. #PostChat -6:13 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
toddzelin Unfortunately I can’t stick around for post chat. But I have a ton to say about reality Have fun guys! #PostChat -6:13 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
TejBabra @sedvideo Welcome to the chat ! #Postchat -6:13 PM Sep 7th, 2011

Dr0id @toddzelin thanks for popping in #PostChat -6:14 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
ejm634 @Dr0id I did get a chance for Farmer Wants a Wife in 2007. There were definitely some Franken-quotes going on in the interviews #PostChat -6:14 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
TejBabra @Lissa1979 I have yet to work on reality, but docs are the same it all depends on budget. Normally tight! #Postchat -6:15 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
artguillotine @TejBabra Like mixing Codecs eh Tej! #PostChat -6:15 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
AvidAsstEditor @ejm634 @Dr0id I do have a problem with Frankenbites. I want to make you sound better, not change what you said entirely. #PostChat -6:15 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
kyl33t @jamesnw OH LOL that is awesome. i could add a clip to that #postchat -6:16 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id @AvidAsstEditor @ejm634 do you feel like your creativity is found in BROLL? I know that’s how I felt cutting science docs. #PostChat -6:16 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
glenmontgomery While not as fun drama wise, a lot of corporate and industrial content is very similar to reality in terms of style and format #postchat -6:16 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
kyl33t @glenmontgomery i used to subclip for organization. what a gd mistake that was. GAH. #postchat -6:17 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
TejBabra @artguillotine NO! That’s what was given to me to online plus an insane amount of frame rates, sizes, formats. But you do Gord! #Postchat -6:17 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
DylanReeve @avidassteditor @ejm634 @Dr0id I’d tend not to use to change intent, only to clarify or shorten – paraphrase… #postchat #frankenbite -6:17 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
sedvideo @glenmontgomery thats mostly what I do, but in a host/SME format. #PostChat -6:17 PM Sep 7th, 2011

TejBabra @artguillotine you are a doc master…any tips? #Postchat -6:17 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id @ejm634 @AvidAsstEditor ha! oh no. #PostChat -6:18 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
toddzelin Sad part is i could probably talk for about 4 hours about cutting reality. #PostChat -6:18 PM Sep 7th, 2011

Dr0id I know @theriotisover is currently cutting a doc on a great topic: Ghost Bikeshttp://t.co/wIF7Kf9 #PostChat -6:19 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
glenmontgomery .@kyl33t ya I was never able to really make subclipping as beneficial as I had heard from others. Selects reels did work tho #Postchat -6:19 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
AvidAsstEditor @kyl33t @glenmontgomery Really? why do you think so? #PostChat -6:19 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id RT @artguillotine: What does everyone think the ethical issues are for Frankbiting when cutting a Reality show #PostChat -6:19 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
kyl33t @artguillotine As long as you don’t change what they meant, it’s something that has to be done. #postchat -6:19 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
DylanReeve @artguillotine They are the ethics issues of the whole genre really. Reality is always massaged, so are the words. #postchat -6:19 PM Sep 7th, 2011

couryc @TejBabra @artguillotine our sound guy had to frankenbite an entire season of LAInk last yr. Producers gave him an award as a joke #Postchat -6:20 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
DylanReeve @artguillotine No different to cutting in a ‘disgusted’ reaction shot to change the meaning of someone’s line. #postchat -6:20 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
NateOrloff @artguillotine I think 90% of the time they’re used to simply move story along faster. Usually harmless but sometimes, well… #PostChat -6:20 PM Sep 7th, 2011

artguillotine @DylanReeve Great Point! #PostChat -6:21 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
kyl33t @AvidAsstEditor subclips + media offline = huge pain. markers = happiness. #postchat -6:21 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
stevensantos @artguillotine It’s more than Frankenbiting. You can manipulate footage to basically create a moment that didn’t happen. #PostChat -6:21 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
AvidAsstEditor @couryc @TejBabra @artguillotine I feel sorry for that guy! #PostChat -6:21 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
theriotisover @Dr0id true story. I am against Frankenbites in doc unless it’s fr CLARITY. never switch word order otherwise. #PostChat -6:21 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
AvidAsstEditor @kyl33t Do you mean locators or do you mean markers cause you are on FCP? #PostChat -6:22 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
kyl33t @couryc LOL that’s awesome. #postchat -6:22 PM Sep 7th, 2011

2andahalfd I do it on occasion. As long as it doesn’t change the meaning of what the person said. I only cut mini-docs. #PostChat -6:23 PM Sep 7th, 2011

theriotisover @TejBabra @Dr0id Oh for the sake of story, building the moment works. But fr network reality TV, i’ve seen it ruin real lives. #PostChat -6:24 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
kyl33t @AvidAsstEditor i would be interested to know as well. #postchat -6:25 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
DylanReeve @dr0id @jamesnw Oh yeah, that was a beautiful story. So so good at summing up the reality of reality. #postchat -6:25 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id @artguillotine do u feel the doc starts to tell it’s own story or do u fit it into the thread u went in with? #PostChat -6:26 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
AvidAsstEditor @theriotisover @TejBabra @Dr0id That is very true. A lot of people can’t handle their life under a microscope…the size of earth #PostChat -6:26 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id @kyl33t @AvidAsstEditor they are the same concept. FCP is more limited. #PostChat -6:26 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
TejBabra @theriotisover @TejBabra @Dr0id really…most of what I have seen here is scripted pretty tightly #Postchat -6:26 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
kyl33t @Dr0id of course it is #postchat -6:27 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
glenmontgomery @kyl33t @avidassteditor it is pretty much the same, you can put on clip or on timeline with notes. Beautiful. #Postchat -6:27 PM Sep 7th, 2011

AvidAsstEditor @Dr0id @kyl33t Speaking of those dang markers. Shift+M moves to the next marker, how do you go backwards? #PostChat -6:27 PM Sep 7th, 2011
 
Dr0id @TejBabra @theriotisover honestly, that is my experience as well. The people were real, but the story was not ‘reality’. #PostChat -6:27 PM Sep 7th, 2011
