Title: Re: NAB Seminars

Having come back from vacation just today - I wasn't subscribed but I kept getting messages. 

 

Schy,

 

I'm offended that you don't want my secrets of deletion.  As a bonus I might have even thrown in secrets of recovery.  And if you act now,  secrets of archiving before deletion to ensure some form of recovery.

Ahh yes. Education is a wonderful thing. 

I’m 
starting to look at this issue using a “cooking” metaphor. (The chef doesn’t 
want to give their trade secrets away) 

That said I am still a firm 
believer that this DS user list is one of giving and support. In keeping with 
that thought I would love to learn from the “master chefs”. Many of us are 
“islands” working in our own little world and don’t have much opportunity to 
bounce ideas off each other. This list and NAB could be a possibility of 
advancing our skill set and consequently also the recognition from producers 
that the DS could be the “go-to” box if the operator (chefs) knows how to make 
their project sizzle.

Having met many of you and worked with some, here 
are my questions I’d love to see shared in a open forum.

Todd I – When do 
you use the DS for compositing vs. other tools
John S – When you don’t have a 
De Venci how do you do those amazing power windows on DS?
Sean S – When do 
you use layers vs. trees vs. timeline and why?
Victor – Your process you used 
to do “last job”  that you put on the DS list.
Bill A – How is DI work 
in your work flow?
Howard – What is the best way of putting a DS room 
together to work and play with others? (avid gear and non)
Tony C. - Where is 
the good beer spots in Vegas?
Spencer – As a compositor what are the other 
tools you use and why?
Tom P – What are all those cool presets on your desk 
and how can I get a copy?
Mark Mc – How is that shared storage working in 
your space?
Phil – Signed A-Z and which are the biggest “got-chas”.
Lucas 
– When you moving to your next job?
Tony J.– Read my mind because you give me 
the answer before I thought of the question.
Tristan – How can I use 
Expressions and scripting?

Theses are some of things I believe could be 
shared without threat, and would be of great encouragement to each of us in 
assurance that we are doing it “the right way” and hopefully bring away some 
inspiration.

More to come and a Yolies signup in the new 
year.

Cheers.

Schy Gleason
