Here we go again...

Hey, did you guys know that Paul from Evening Edition was having some cholesterol problems a few years ago? You wouldn't believe how happy he was when the doctor called him up with his test results and said, "Well, I've got your cholesterol test results here, Paul; it's good and low." 

That's horrible...... thats like "At Johnnys discount cars, our prices are *very fair*"....

I could've sworn mostpopular87 was also a Matt.

Actually you're right. I don't know why he hasn't logged in since December. Is he banned or what?

Did his profile say he was banned?

How should I know. YOu're the administrator. You guys can only see if he is banned or not

I believe that in the public profile, it would show that the memeber is part of the Banned / Removed member group.

Isn't the online list seeing what everyone is doing? Everyone can view that.

Yes, but regular members can't see everything. 

But they can see like what threads your viewing, posting in, etc.

We can also ride our bikes super fast but I noticed you didn't mention that.

Not to run this off a tangent or anything, but Price is Right was shot with HD cameras for ~3 seasons without being in HD.  I'd assume the cameras were bought to replace old ones, and they just bought HD ones so they wouldn't have to replace them when the transition occurred.

Yep, same deal.

Right now, they're showing a report with Dr. Forbes in the back of the Abrams & Bettes/Weekend View studio, and the camera right behind him appears to have an HD logo on it. Interesting that such a camera would be in the old building.

There are 2 HD cameras, I think maybe 3 but I know for sure 2 HD cameras in the current SD Camera Chain.

Well, too bad we won't see you as a OCM, if you want to.

At TWC I was this.

Wow, I must say,I never realized you held such a distinguished position. 

Just so were clear, I am refering to the Television part of that page Not the set costume designer or something weird.

In television, the technical director actually ... broadcast standards or quality.

The TD also functions ... monitors and vectorscopes to measure video levels.

I was actually referring to this, the first couple of lines in the first paragraph:

This person usually possesses the highest level of competence in a specific technical field and may be recognized as an expert in that industry.

Oh, that too

In television, the technical director actually refers to the role of the vision mixer or CCU operator, and works under the supervision of the television director. It is the TD's job to manually switch video sources, perform edits and overlay titles as ordered by the director. (The director does not directly interface with the production equipment, allowing him to coordinate the production and make rapid decisions.) The TD reserves a level of autonomy in exceptional cases, such as time constraints which may force him to fade to black early, or to switch away from shots which are not to broadcast standards or quality.

The TD also functions as crew chief, making sure all positions are manned and all equipment and facilities checked out and ready before the taping session or live broadcast begins. He/she may provide training to more inexperienced members of the crew. In consultation with the director, the TD may have more or less input into the creative side of the production, depending on the situation. He/she may provide the director with guidance on crew assignments, camera shots and the most efficient way to accomplish any given effect. The TD is usually responsible for the technical quality of the signal being recorded or broadcast, and often uses waveform monitors and vectorscopes to measure video levels.

I had intrest in doing OCM work up here but it didnt fancy me to much once I got in to it.

I am / have always been better at producing. My offical titles have been "Producer" "Director" and "Technical Producer". At TWC I was this.
