CONFUSION MAKES HATE

After an explosive response directed to me, not doing a job, that we had discussed in the "ROLES" section of this blog log; I was casted aside as not working with the team. It seems that they were right. I had done a rushed job of getting them the video even so compromising my source who at least had more patience than my editors and team players. I could list their actions but I don' want to spend more energy on the negative aspects. After all, if this was a real life professional situation, I would have quit, given the miss-communication factors on all sides. The parameters of my production methods were set by the Web Manager Ken, and they are as follows:


1.) use an external mic

2.) make the videos more concise (i.e. fucking edit them a bit)

3.) try and keep the swearing down

4.) don't expect others to do your work, I edited that last thing in about 1hr, it's a piece of piss...use Imovie

Given these parameters I understand more clearly my job can only do what is available to me. My fixes to the above parameters are compromises for time management and the tools I have to accomplish my task. As this is not a real company I cannot expect them to give me the tools to use. Plus I have other personal issues that do not allow me to check out equipment from the store rooms. Taking all of that into consideration, I will still try to full fill my duties as best as is possible.

1. Mics are embedded in almost all video equipment including simple digital cameras plus if I want to make the production louder than the original recording I always use an external MP3 recorder. (Note: Because my source did not know I was publishing the material I could not give my editors the full version)

2. Edit the footage (again this should have been explained to me when we talked about "ROLES" Professional standards in the past have had a team of experts to work in each area so that organization helped distribute the final product on deadline.)

3. No Vulgarity (I understand the validity in this matter but do not accept it as the brief and home statement of the website clearly identifies with a alternative "MOLE" like status in it's content. After all I am the eco-warrior not the eco-doctor. Vulgarity brings clarity and humor depending on the person perceiving the information. In Linguistic terms it is used as exclamation. In structural terms exclamation is not necessary unless the object is not clear. As this is video I do not see "shit" in my video neither do my viewers thus it is only verbal excitement from me the director of the full edit and idea that I want to portray.) None the less I will try my best in the future to use as little or not vulgarity and when it is used I will edit it out!

4. I own a PC. I like PC's. I use Windows based programming tools and OS; I will thus use WMV to compress and edit my video footage.
