Re: [Avid-L2] Help with presentation to small independent filmmakers

White balance, using a properly calibrated monitor (that's shielded from the sun) at the very least, and use scopes whenever possible (especially with HD).

Properly lit green screen, and subject distance.

Talk with post *before* shooting re: format, workflow, etc.

Do NOT change the file/folder structure in any way when xfering from card to drive.

Timecode . . . Jam Sync multiple cameras if possible.

Just pointing out some common things that could easily be handled in planning and production, rather than post from an editor's POV.
