Re: [Avid-L2] Re: OT: What to tell a class...

Well -

Actually I did that last week. I put a sequence up on the projector,
then rearranged it multiple times over an hour to show how different
orders of shots made the footage tell a completely different story. Was
fairly effective, or at least it seemed to be.

To tell you the truth, the biggest problem I have with these kids is
getting them to take lights on a shoot. Finally told them that an
un-lighted interview is now worth no more than a "D" regardless of how
compelling the information is.
