"We have lived in a sweet spot in storytelling history."
Boy I remember it was 3 AM with two chyrons to reinsert on to the D2 Master when snap there went the master tape. Cut to 6 AM after getting the chief engineer in to splice the tape, I was too fried to attempt it myself at the time, is that the "Sweet Spot" I was enjoying? I get what you mean and it's just another example of "These are the good ole days." ;-)

Places like this place, unqualified people who learn how to use an Avid and call themselves editors (and take a MUCH lower rate) and reality TV budgets have cut the heart out of this industry. The situation seems pretty bleak and the problem is that the people involved in making decisions with how a show looks don't care about telling a story anymore, they care about coming in under budget and on time. We are stuck with 42 minute montages. This part of the industry is dying a slow death and what was once a craft is being reduced to painting by numbers.
