Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Stuff I wish they'd fix

Long time ago i've heard Robby Müller talk in our local arthouse cinema.
He was asked about his choices for film stock. The answer was that he shot with what was he was given on the set, normally stuff the wive's producer found on cheap leftovers.

You do the math.

YES!!!!!!
If I was a Taxi driver and the cab I was given had no speedometer that would be bad. Of course if I needed the work I'd have to make a judgement call. If Taxi driving was my profession and I had to take that job and then I started getting tickets for speeding I could lose my Cab driving license.

If I'm delivering shows that will be QC'd and I get failed for illegal levels that makes me look bad. Not to mention having my name in the credits on a show that looks inconsistent because I didn't have proper monitoring gear can bite me in the ass.

I'm even leery of relying on the Resolve internal scopes even though I've been told they are accurate from others. That's the old internal vs external, what you should see and what you actually see on the output discussion. The more we compromise these basic standards the more we plunge deeper into the race to the bottom.
