[Avid-L2] Re: OT: Continuity? Who needs that?

All valid points but in my case it's the reality brand of continuity. Shoot the two way interview with overcast skies and the subsequent lack of shadows and slightly bluish tint and make sure to use 3 or more different format and mismatched camera. Oh and please make sure to cut between two basically similar two shots of only slightly different angles for no apparent reason. Add to this the re shoot of the hosts questions much later when the sun is out and blazing big shadows. Mix between the two liberally cause after all, "They'll save it in post post, aka (color correction)." I was just venting perhaps the sarcasm wasn't thick enough.
