sweet, angelic music to my ears... urban maladies rolling thunder ridden streets avian ballad flees oh, is it love? is it love? or is it that i haven't been turned on like this in YEARS?!??!?! or was it hours... emma, you rock. you shock. you mock. you tease. from across the freakin' pond, you taunt our longings for typewritten abuse... je n'ai pas oublié la chanson que tu me chantais ... steve

so THAT'S what you've been doing solo a la levi's lately! definitely had my curiosity piqued there for a while. steve

TOTALLY! we spent some good time working with him the weekend before last. put his input to more good use today, and voila! waaaay better flying! now, i've only got to find some fitting situations for all those smart-ass remarks he shared with us... steve

congrats, amber! don't worry about perfection right now; you'll be a skygod in no time! steve

here's my first post, after like, 6 months of lurking. the attachment somehow didn't make it through the conversion, so here it is again! of course, in fine sudsy form, i had to go and change my identity (not even two months later) to shake off all the would-be stalkers, hehe. steve

Avid - yes! I'm dying to try it and see what all the hype's about! Cubase SX (new) - As a longtime Cubase user, I've really been looking forward to this release. Studio problems have been plaguing me (thus preventing my checking it out) since its release, first with my mixing console's dying (fixed), and now motherboard issues (freakin' FROZE during recording last week, 65 minutes into my best vinyl-mix-for-CD yet!!! Seems to be stable now with just one CPU, tho. ). I'll be poopin' a brick if any of my vintage stuff starts acting up... Um, I guess that's about it. I've got all the other software-ish toys I think I need... for now, anyway! Steve

shite, gotta jump into this... it's just too inviting! please keep in mind that although i've dug deep into intellectual property issues, i'm not an attorney; i'm only sharing opinion. although it's almost always wise to expressly label materials with their appropriate copyright, it's not a requirement from a legal perspective. works are protected under copyright law as soon as they are created, a sort of intrinsic ownership. in this case, the work is a video recording, which is protected at the moment the frames are captured to tape (i.e., on the camera flyer's head). without a written contract/agreement stating explicitly who owns the copyright to this work, however, ownership becomes a HUGE gray area. one way to look at it, as michele mentioned, is that the customer pays for the video, so then it becomes a work for hire, right? well, it's not quite that easy. there are TONS of complications, including the school/dz's being the one actually paying the (1099'd independent contractor) videographer... perhaps they could claim the same? which leads us to another scenario: licensing for specific use. whether it's music, videos, books, software, or what have you, we have all been there. ever hear someone say something like the following? "well, i bought the dang thing -- why can't i copy and sell it? it's mine, and i'll do what i want with it!" um... no, silly. you bought a license to use the material, in a very specific way. could we apply the same logic in this case? sure. the videographer (or even the school/dz) could claim copyright to the material, and the customer is paying a certain (fair) amount for license to the material for specific use (which likely doesn't include broadcast). but, without a written agreement, who owns the copyright in this case? from my humble perspective, i'd say that the videographer does, with good reason. first, there *seems* to be a precedent of policy already established in the industry. for example, if you took a look at most videographers sales receipts (or invoices, or checks... humor me here) for typical student videos and compared them with those for videos taken with intent to broadcast (MTV, FOX, etc.), you will definitely see a difference in cost. second, the issue of commercial use is oftentimes brought up directly by videographers. i understand that in the fast-paced student-mill environment, this probably isn't the case, but if you look at the industry as a whole, you'll find it more common. then again, i may be way off here; i'm just going on what i've both heard and experienced. finally, there's the matter of fair market value. i'm sorry, but a measly $75 just doesn't buy full (namely commercial use) rights for videography in general these days, not to mention when the videographer literally puts his/her life on the line for the shot. sounds like a great deal, though, doesn't it? well, like i said before, i'm no attorney, and i'm definitely not a judge. if this had to go before a court, it's hard to tell what would happen, but i'd bet that the better (paid) attorney would win. gray area. yep, sure is. a well-written videography clause, explicitly defining terms of use/ownership, in the student agreement might just be the key to clearing a lot of this up in the future. in fact, it probably behooves every videographer to make sure such an agreement is in place with all their customers, lest they suffer potential consequences. This thread serves as a great example. anyway, that crap aside... michele, congratulations on your show! and hats off to you for taking the initiative of trying to get the producers and videographers together -- i'm sure you were a right pain in their ass on that one! keep it up! and for all you who made it this far in my post... shame on you! shouldn't you have better things to do than to try to make sense of this senseless drivel??? ! steve

great. a mouthful of half-chewed cold pizza splattered across my monitor... and we're out of paper towels. yeah thanks a lot! steve

nutshell. bravo! steve

i like souplantation, but jay's (carlsbad village dr & pch) rocks!!! steve

ah well, perhaps another time then. i'm *seriously* in need of some clam chowder right now, tho... s

nice!!! the hummingbird's awesome -- must have only a centimetre of depth-of-field -- tight shot to pull off! hey, whatchoo doin' right now? hungry? steve

um... well, uh... gee, billvon, that thar don't look much like a-trackin'... looks more like you wuz a-PHREAKIN'!!! steve

i think the article was referring to the victim's father, not the driver's. steve

*ugh* this one reeks of political strong-arming from annapolis (or their alumni-ringknockers). i mean, do you see the da's office actually pursuing this if the victim was, say, a noname aff instructor from crosskeys? steve

yes yes YES!!! enquiring minds want to know!!! steve

and i thought i'd get away without part 2 of that story getting out! steve

lemme hear an AMEN! thanks so much again, hh. paypal's not my bag, but you oughta get out to socal sometime soon -- methinks you've got some jump tix here with yer name on 'em! steve

time: 10:36pm, last night place: sushi on sunset, hollywierd, ca situation: window seat, low-pro japanese style couch, sizzling young bi-brunette wrapped in one arm and her newfound chesty-blonde "straight-friend" in the other (sudsyfist sandwich ), fiendishly-smiling blonde leans over and gently whispers across to her devil-incarnate... quote: "so, what are you gonna do with me tonight?" ... deep breath... must... resist... temptaaaaaaasssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhuuuun...

vibes on the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hehehe, reminds me of a trip to k-mart (with my *mom*) once to buy some seeds for the garden... never shopped for this kinda shite before, so, of course, when we came across the red hot poker, cockscomb, yard long bean (hehehe), convolvulus (and a few others i don't remember off the top of my head), i just HAD to make a scene! (and a few purchases ) steve
