Hi Paul, >> There is a mystic ethic that media professionals subscribe to (tho, it's getting less and less evident these days). With the tools comes a responsibility. Now the tools are available to everyone; but we don't share in your responsibility. We don't subscribe to your standards. We say whatever we want. We just make it look like it came from you. << No Paul don't get me wrong. I want you to say whatever you want, heck thats the biggest advantage to putting this stuff in the hands of the masses. I want to hear your oppinions as well as others. By hearing them it makes me take a closer look at mine at rethink the validity of them. All I was trying to say to new producers ( which to tell the truth I am one of them. I have only been in the industry for 3 years, and I don't hold any degree) was to make shure that you gather my interest with the content of your story, not with the over use of DVE's and effects. After all you want me to remember the information not the effects. Trust me when I say I am not one of those folks who love to say that your oppinion is not worth anything because you don't have the thecnical background to say it in video. Hell I have been told that to many times in the past, and I truly hate that type of condedinding attitude. I guess in short I would say…….Go forth and produce my friend. Prove to me that all of my opinions are garbage. You will make me a better person by doing so. Heck thats what democracy is all about. OK thats the end of Mikes philosophy lesson for today :-)))) And BTW Paul I sincerely like the way you challenge the norm. Keep up the good work it's a great trait to posses. Sincerely, Michael W.
