    1. ilk so that the visitors haven’t got to serach for the shops immediately. We collect together a lot of brochures, maps etc about local attractions and then just leave a minimal list of instructions about how to turn on the stove timer etc

    2. How would we rebuild unnios? In the show we talk about it, really making similar points to you: our putative green field studio would probably not need unnios because people were paid a fair wage/salary, with benefits and all would be working on the same team. Personally I’d advocate a real profit sharing deal and even equity at least equity in programs they work on.And if we keep unnios then I like your ideas.

    1. All this talk about green fields (2eps alaredy!) leads me to ask you guys about the prospects of a green union . Under the current system, the mere mention of unions’ brings fright to a producer. Since the producers want to hire workers, and workers want to be hired, we should rethink any institution which quite literally makes the employer look the door to their office, or move a production to another city. To a producer, unions mean more money, more paper work, more headaches with little on the positive side.Back in the day when unions were trying eliminate grievances like child slavery, and truly unsafe working conditions, thuggish methods like strikes, shame rallies, and protests were effective. I would argue that those methods are simply not effective anymore because workers (and the unions that support them) are not facing the same challenges.Our challenge, frankly, is unemployment. In entertainment, only a small % of people in unions actually work on union shows. Most people clammer for those few positions and those positions, which are evaporating anyway right along with the arcane business models that support them; for example networks.However, imagine a world where no one knew what a union was (green field). Image if an organization of workers formed with two goals in mind; to always be employed with fair wages and benefits, AND to help producers of that content be successful. How can they help? First off all, eliminate or greatly reduce the transaction costs. There is little excuse for paperwork, and job specific roles. A company should be able to complete a contract negotiation in a phone call and signature. Secondly, unions are a group of people who have collective bargaining power in general. Why not offer producers; free screening rooms at the guild, have subsidized edit bays available, have subsidized equipment rentals, help with distribution of projects via promotions (agencies do this for their starts), and the list goes on.I guess my point is, unions should find a way that they can introduce value into a production and not just act as a market distortion. My question is; how would you guys rebuild the unions?

    2. . Your favourite jitisfucation appeared to be on the internet the simplest factor to understand of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed whilst other folks consider worries that they plainly don’t know about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the top as smartly as outlined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thanks!21

  1. Posted on You’re a far braver vieewr than I I’ve given up on even the one genre show this season I sorta liked, Reaper, cause when it’s on, I can’t motivate enough interest to actually watch a whole episode.I’m a reality whore now. It’s all I do.

  2. Hey, Mike. It’s waiting for me to firuge out how to feed it over to iTunes. I’m sure it’s a matter of a few clicks, I just have to read up and find out where those clicks are.

    1. 14bNice read, I just passed this onto a firend who was doing a little research on that. And he just bought me lunch since I found it for him smile Therefore let me rephrase that: Thank you for lunch!

    2. well, i understand that the ceamra doesn’t capture any light without the flash, so the only light it will capture is the one coming from the flash, so because the duration of the flash is so little the ceamra will freeze that motion. What i really want to know is how i capture a fast action movement, like a girl dancing and at the same time, capture the ambient light, like on a bar or car workshop, that are usually very moody locations. What do i have to do to capture that ?
