Heroes and Villains by David Hajdu Essays on Music, Movies, Comics, and Culture
Black blues artists were beginning to see that there was a good future performing for white audiences who got turned on to blues through rock 'n' roll. There was the economic reality of 'Hey, some white people are going to pay some money to hear us,' and it's going to be a more secure existence, because the black clubs, if they had a bad night, the likelihood of not getting paid was pretty great." (Page 62)
We gotta be thankful we're not working for low pay or people who will easily flake on us. So hopefully those people are at the bottom of our list when it comes to need, and top of our list of most prepared to need to deal with.
Rebel Without A Crew by Robert Rodriguez ;-)
George Hively and I watched Mariachi and noted the repeated shots. I told him I repeated a lot of shots since that's so easy to do on video, not thinking I'd ever make a film print. I told him that the reason was to stretch it out to ninety minutes to sell it to the Spanish video market. Now it doesn't have to be ninety minutes, so if I eliminate the extra shots and repeated action, it would be easier to conform and it would be a lot tighter, which is what I would prefer anyway. (Page 136)
Good think to keep in mind about the Spanish market :-) and about repeating shots to get a longer time length!
Art of the Cut by Steve Hullfish
"dwells" are where the audience understands big moments. And in comedy, "dwells" are where the audience laughs. That's where you're giving them the permission to enjoy it... If somebody tells me to pace something up, that doesn't help me. I need to know what you want me to do to improve it. (Page 84)
That's right man, editing is hard and taxing work. More fun to talk about than to do. Lol

this is the day. What? Even now! as a reed is shaken in the water.
Kings (I) 14:23 (MacArthur)
For they also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and wooden images on every high hill and under every green tree.
Luke 12:24 (MacArthur)
Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and G*d foods them. Of how much more value are you than birds?
Luke 12:34 (MacArthur)
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Happy to help with your next Crocodile Dundee film! Lol
