Things looked bad as the weekend approached and I had just wrapped up a session at CMT early one late night. We always did Life and Times specials and shows of artists that had just passed and the producer I was working with suggested we rough out a Johnny Cash piece before we leave, should something happen over the weekend. While I understood this from a news standpoint, man it seemed like bad karma to make an obit for a dude who was still kickin'. I explained my feelings and the producer agreed. The man in black went home less than a week later.</p> <p>I too cried the first time I heard him sing Hurt.</p> <p>and the last.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/the-power-of-editing#post-66825 Wed, 30 Mar 2011 19:42:47 +0000 vid-e-o-man 66825@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> WOW!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/the-power-of-editing#post-66824 Wed, 30 Mar 2011 18:46:11 +0000 composite1 66824@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Last year I wrote an article for VM Magazine about 'Making Music Videos'. One of the things stressed in the article was to keep your mind open to the possibilities of what can be done during production and in post-production which can enhance your work. Here's a classic example of how even after shooting a beautiful rendition of Johnny Cash's final music video "Hurt", the editor was able to push that performance into an emotionally stunning piece of art.</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg8xYSWOFR8&amp;feature=player_embedded">Johnny Cash's 'Hurt' behind the scenes</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIfhTCKQN7g&amp;feature=player_embedded">Johnny Cash's 'Hurt' Video in HD</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/lights-camera-healing-a-great-contest-opportunity#post-61978 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:41:57 +0000 composite1 61978@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p><em>"Let's not make "light" of the subject"</em></p> <p>Badumpbump!

I read it another way. My understanding was to produce a video showing your vision of the healing powers of light, not specific to their product. Kinda like how light therapy helps those that have a hard time with winter's darkness. </p> <p>I do agree that $1000 for something that might become a part of their ad campain seems small compared to what they would gain, and no garantees that they would not just use the idea instead of the actual video for their ads. Sounds like they may be short on vision and looking for someone to show them the light.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/lights-camera-healing-a-great-contest-opportunity#post-61960 Tue, 07 Sep 2010 14:30:32 +0000 composite1 61960@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>So contest participants are supposed to go out and find a doctor using your product, convince said doctor to let them shoot the product in action, then produce a video at their own expense of a quality to both represent your product and be engaging enough to go viral all on the hope that you'll pay them $1k for it?

Sorry, I already have the latest reader and am not downloading anything from some strange site. Why aren't your contest rules set up on a straight up web page like the rest of your site? You might be on the up and up, but that looks awfully suspicious. Anyway, is there an entry fee? Not to mention you're basically saying 'if we pick your video, we'll pay you a thousand bucks'. I guarantee you it cost more in man-hours and equipment costs to make the video than you plan on paying for it. Long as members who see this are informed of the lack of potential gain for this endeavor, I don't have a problem with it.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/mini-film-contest-with-ipad-us1000-cash-prize#post-56889 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 22:32:26 +0000 skylabs 56889@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Fortunately there is no need to buy the miniWINDER.
