Edit This




An interaction between producer and editor in a post production house goes awry.

[Totally unrealistic. BVH-2000's almost never screwed up. Now a BVH-1100? That's a different story! I can still hear the reel flying down the hallway in Master Control. And, all his media was offline!]

Yes, unrealistic but damn funny! Wish I had a dime for every time I strung up a 1" reel in MCR!

ahhhh the old 1100's. I remember spending an overnight doing vendor dubs, and being the overachiever I had every beta, d-beta, 1" and svhs deck on 3 floors running at once. eventually I couldn't keep up and the one 1100 in Idubs had run off the end so I reverse strung it back and hit rewind and stepped over to the next rack to take down another dub that had finished. Well that's when I found the 1100's did not have an auto slow down and so about 3000 feet of 1" ended up spewing all over the Idub's floor right about the same time a surly curmudgeonly maintenance guy walks out of the repair shop and starts into me. What a jerk! I eventually got all the tape back on the reel, but it really cut into me getting out early that morning.
