Life of an editor - says it all really
Was working on a project yesterday with the client in the room. There was one particular shot of a material drying and lsing its glossiness slowly over about 90seconds.
After dropping in the shot, he decided he wanted it a bit longer... so I jumped the clip to its outpoint. He then proceeds to go 'aaaaaaaanddddddddddd.................. cut! that's it, perfect'.
Funny thing was, I wasn't actually PLAYING the clip at the time. It was just sitting there, still.
Thehehe.

Hello h'biki,
This is your 'client'. Just a short note to thank you for taking time out of your obviously busy schedule to ridicule me in front of your sycophantic nerd following. I will be bringing more of my work your way in the near future.
Regards,
S. Katz

Hey Mr Katz AKA Damo,
Replace the word 'client' in that story with 'director' and you get to the heart of filmmaking.

Or replace the word 'Director' with 'David' and you get the story of your life :)

I am not your David!
At least, not in such a public context as this. Ixnay.
