There was a brief period where I was bored stupid of tvcs and set up a programming suite to cut game shows. I had three daily shows and two weekly shows, all iso recorded on 5-6 cameras, game graphics and sound effects.
I sync rolled the whole thing on Cmx 3600 cutting on the vtr select keys with crosspoints assigned to aux to cut to the wide shot with game board supered. Get the show assembled look at duration, drop back into the edl, edit the list then auto-assemble. It was the most fun I ever had - used to cut 8 -10 shows a day at 5K each - that suite bought us a Henry, a Flame and Rank mk3... then the client built their own edit suites and I went back to commercials. But when you tell the kids today I once cut 1000 hours of tv in a single year they won't believe you...
Basically it will be a LOT easier in an Avid than a 1" room, but the main challenge is keeping them to time and milking the meager laughs that occur. Sometimes you're 10 minutes long which is fine but I hated the ones that were 5 minutes under - there's only so slow you can scroll the credits.

The low end of competitive; I am so going to pinch that.

Since you know the post sup, I'd be interested to know what about cutting game shows is such a specialty. Plus I would think that each game show presents its own specific problems, so editing one game show wouldn't necessarily help you cut another.

It all sounds so appealing. Game shows, low pay, must have prior game show experience (seriously? I had no idea that it would be impossible to solve the difficult creative editing decisions of game shows only), work through the holidays… no wonder you wanted to keep the Alpha Dogs name out of it.

I am reposting this fro another thread. This has nothing to do with Alpha Dogs but I do know the Post Super who is above board.
Looking for one studio game show editor to start in NoHo on November 30th, for 10-11 weeks. We're a non-union show, cutting on Avid and will be working during the holidays, with very minimal time off as we premiere January 4th. The pay is on the low end of competitive. Please do not apply if you do not have at least 3 recent studio game shows on your resume or if you are unable to work almost no time off at the holidays. You can email me at iposttvshows@gmail.com<mailto:iposttvshows@gmail.com> and put "game show editor" in the subject. Thanks!
