Re: New blog post from Philip Hodgetts. Worth the read.

[kim krause] "glass in the left hand on the close up. then half full glass in the right hand on the wide shot. shirts open, shirts closed..it doesn't matter what you edit on if the material is flawed. why don't people ever bitch about that."

Largely because the people trained to notice and catch that stuff were people with experience. And they were the "expensive" ones tossed out when the industry "suits" focused on maintaining margins in a shrinking cash flow.

BTW, only a fools fails to realize that those very "suits" are as necessary as any other group in a stable enterprise. But as with all other groups, in times of stress they tend to see the world with the narrow eyes of their discipline, rather than how their practice "fits in" to the overall health of things.

It's going to take a long time to regroup after an era where "right-sizing" came to mean "starve the enterprise to make the bank/shareholders short-term happy."
