p.s. i wish i had a little more time to tweak it, it is my first time on this site doing this so i will make more and i will try and make them a little sexier...we wrapped so i wanted to publish it and get it out there..

 

[Eirik Tyrihjel]

I LOVE IT!

Whoa - great rant!

 

[Justin Kirchhoff]

Wow, I can't tell you how many times I've had a conversation identical to that. Thanks for the laugh, Dino.

 

[Michael Schrengohst]

I would have told them to buy a Canon T2i for $800 and then blow me.

 

[Mark L. Pederson]

I just love the wave at the end.

 

[jimhare]

Love it!

 

[dino g]

I just love the wave at the end.

that is the one animation i used, there are a shit load of those that i will use next time, but as i said i just wanted to get it out before i left the location or else it would linger for days,weeks or months....

thanks for watching.

 

[Nathan Garofalos]

your the man dino, don't forget it! Take care bud.

 

[Joel J. Feigenbaum]

I have had that conversation so many times your story played like a documentary. Awesome!

 

[Alexander Alexandrov]

oh so true on so many levels

 

[Kwan Khan]

HAHAHH @ lil' Jony

 

[Jeff Coatney]

I hate music video shoots. They always ask for master primes. Then when the invoice is past ninety days they complain that "The Label" has slashed budgets by 10% every year for 10 years. LOL! Thanx Dino.

 

[Blair S. Paulsen]

Thanks Dino.

They don't know what they don't know, and, even if you have the patience to give them the free education, they rarely have the ability to integrate it into the rote formula they use every day (and likely don't understand very well either).

Cheers - #19

 

[Justen Nguyen]

haha Dino I laughed out loud so many times. I've definitely had this conversation many times as well.

 

[Joe G.]

I find all of these so petty and classless that they reflect nearly as badly on the makers (typists?) than on the straw man serereotypes they seek to impale.

Not a fan of Xtranormal, so far.

The piece wasn't funny to me, probably for the same reasons it is funny to a lot of folks here: I have that conversation almost every shoot. The piece left me revisiting some of the more painful versions of that conversation, and THAT pissed me off.

I think the "DIT" in this piece is a jerk. I like it better when the "pro" I am supposed to sympathize with remains calm, and the "idiot" starts the ranting and name calling.

Best I can say is I feel your pain man.

 

[David Birdy]

Very funny & true.....
This story line is repeated everyday...If we accept this it will continue!

2500 usd a day

850 dollars for 10 hours for a DIT if the minimum wage for the DP is 740 for 8 hours according to IATSE?

Pissed me off too.
