I guess my point is how do you get good feel for a take/shot by shuttling by versus watching it and making notes on each one (in real time versus shuttle speed)? Again, I work in the short form world so I am usually only dealing with 1-2 hours of footage on a normal spot.
I think by actually watching each scene, you can also come up with good or better ideas from the footage that the client may not have known they even had. Far better than watching a tape shuttle by. Sorry Mr. Murch, I am not buying. :-)
