TZ23 - Discontinuity Editing

http://www.takezer0.com/2008/01/23/tz23-discontinuity-editing/

We've all heard of continuity, but what about discontinuity?

Discontinuity is the black sheep of the family. All the other shots flow together and behave like all good continuities should. But discontinuity picks fights, hangs out at MacDonald's, and listens to rap music. It sticks out like a sore thumb; but like a Goth kid, that's exactly what it wants. Now why would anybody insert a shot that doesn't "flow" with the scene? Watch the episode to find out. Also, in our editorial rant, find out why switching to a Mac isn't always necessary.

Macs are fully customizable.  PCI cards, harddrives, RAM etc.(with the right drivers and if there mac compatible lol)It is much more solid OS with UNIX. I'm pretty sure you'd like a Mac. Also I'm a bit confused now what kind of camera are you guys getting?

We'll be doing another update episode soon, but we've changed our minds about the XL-H1 after all. Now we're looking at the Sony PMW-EX1 :)

[migzz04]

how much will it probably cost?

[esotericsean]

Oh, we actually bought the EX1 months ago now, hehe. It was $6499 at abelcinetech

First off, great job sneaking in the Cowboy Bebop. A+ of a song.

Second, I must agree with burnsy11. You really don't need a mechanic for a mac. They are unbelievably reliable. Even so, you get free service for any problems (not accidents) for 1 year (and 3 years if you purchase AppleCare). I love FCP, and I love macs. They cut out the unnecessary, and give you what you need, clean and customizable.

[thatjamicanguy]

[CrowellMedia]

Fantastic info, but the hosts are painfully zombie like.

3:25 best freakin moment in cinematic history ever !!!!

That's exactly my main gripe, which isn't a criticism so much that's a personal matter. I like fix to up and tweak my PC, hence my auto mechanic/greasemonkey analogy.
