about the HG DVD - notes for a few groups

A few notes that I need to get out to some groups. The editing process has fully started but I'm running into a few problems.

Rejected, your footage is overly pixelized. You must have sent heavily compressed files. I can't use this footage but could possibly put a few of your good clips in the bonus section.

GMC WHAT, you sent your footage on a DVD r + as avi files. My editor can't get your dvds to play, and I believe he told me that avi files don't work on macs. Can you send out copies of your footage on mini dv?

I expect editing to be finished in about 3-4 weeks.

Other groups that are still working on sending me footage, you really need to send it out to me next week or it will be too late.

hahahaha
your joking aren't you ?
avi is universal...meaning...it works on both pc AND mac...

Try a dvd-r isntead

my editor is working on avid. based on what he is saying, avi files aren't working in avid.

then get your editor too convert the files? what do you pay him for?

im guessing not much...I would say someone on here could probably do a better job...like skidmarc or one of the muppets guys....but yeah....bed for me

We're working on getting it converted. My editor ussually deals with video and film, not computer files of video.

we'll he must be hella old and hasn't worked in a long time...coz it's all digital these days...

Virtually no feature films shoot digitally.

was that those two disks I sent you ? because I sent you another DVD-R. which r you talking about.

my parts like 80% edited...give me a week to finish it and get the music right forms

<3 <3 <3

Amen. <3

Keep us updated on the editing!

True tht. The editing has like the fat reel things running along infront of them dont it?

When I go over to my editors place next week I'll let you know which disks it is.

I thought this project sounded good to start with, but it seems now like its going to keep on getting delayed and stuff,

I can't get to the footage for 3 weeks at least... Didn't you say you watched some of it before?

So whats he editing on? A Mac? Using Avid? And he cant load in AVI files? AVI';s work on both Mac and Avid. I use Avid everyday at work.



Doesnt he have a phone?

damn it elliot please don't start with moody again, I am asking you nicely if not for moodys sake than for mine if you even care.

I know I've been a dick to you in the past but I will stop, so please do me a favor and just let them deal with it without you and moody bitching back and forth

I only asked the same question 3 others did in this thread and it doesnt matter because he's blocked me anyway. Stop bitching dude.

sorry

edit: I don't think he really has but who knows

I was able to watch the avi files at my place but he is having difficulty getting them in the computer. Everything will be fixed by Monday.

The project won't be delayed.

Yeah man, usually. I mean, they edit digitally ("non-linearly") a lot of the time on Avid or Final Cut systems, but they take it in from film and it gets printed back out to film. They dont just edit from a bunch of little already-compressed clips. High end editing packages aren't really designed to deal with that, they will because they are versatile but sometimes you have to coax them.

And for all who say AVI is universal: the format is but you can use a shitload of different compression formats inside AVI files, many of which are Windows only. Likewise I can churn out AVI files on my Mac all day that Windows users cant read.

Sorry for the thread jack

Yeah fair points.

Regardless, he should be able to convert it pretty easily. I dont know what he's going on about.

And next to none feature films are edited on Final Cut.

I might be able to send you some footage, via mini DV tape, but how much time do we have to send this in? I no it's late but I forgot about it.

We might be filming some new stuff, just for the HG DVD, so what do I need to do now to send you footage, your address, etc.

Email me [email address redacted] if you can, thanks.

I just emailed you...

I just quoted you

hey michael im gonna send you the phone release in a couple of days Image file not present in the recovered backup

how is the dvd going?
any progress?

the dvd is coming along good so far. it will take a few weeks for the editing to be completed.
