[Avid-L2] Re: OT: And I thought the QC Monkeys were annoying

 

Well after Wednesday night's network note, "Lower the blacks and more saturation." Can you guess what Thursday night's follow up note was? Wait for it.... Don't get ahead of me...... Still there? You guessed it, "LOWER SATURATION." Ladies and Gentlement the "Chuckle Head of the Year Award" goes to ......... ;-) I think I'm going to name the statue the Chuckie. It's Friday maybe it's time for the Chuckie Awards Thread.... ;-)
