Re: [Avid-L2] Re: The "tape is dead" thread

In the words of the great Strother Martin (or more accurately Donn Pearce or Frank Pierson): What we have...is a failure to communicate.

For **my workflow in short form** I don't think shuttling is a way to get to know the footage "intimately". You can miss a blink, a quick look, an inflection...If using tape (the rare instance these days), I will watch each lab roll load in, but the way to really know the footage is to sit and watch it in real time, scrub it, sub-clip it, notate it... If it works for you and Murch, more power to you. But I would not say that this is the "right way" or a better way to tell a story or find new ideas...
