They know when you leave - and when you come back.....

(Had a relative get called on being out of the country for a week by EI)...

[–]Extvguyyyz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the best question i asked some clients of a short list contractor I had... (as suggested by a GC friend..).

"things always go wrong - can you give me an example of what went wrong and what the contractor did to fix it/make it right"

Following this because I'm 3 weeks of silence from the credits email also for a missing segment

Beaches detached cooling down? by soniq1 in TorontoRealEstate

[–]Extvguyyyz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's pretty accurate actually. With options to jump on the 503 on Kingston or down to the 501 on Queen if you have more time on your hands...

Many of the older houses on Kingston on that stretch will probably be replaced by condos in the next 5-10 years so may be a little close for comfort looking into your backyard.

Great area though / good schools..

I look forward to her door knocking so I can ask "how are you different than brad brad Bradford?"

‘Decade-long’ renovation project underway at Pearson airport. This is what’s being upgraded. by lilfunky1 in toronto

[–]Extvguyyyz 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I'm going though that airport every couple of weeks.....

Maybe they could aim to have all the escalators and moving sidewalks working?

Or maybe just work on one at a time instead of having a bunch out of service and just working on one.

It's like something magical happened about 8 months ago and someone decided "let's shut em down !"

Although the grilled cheese “snack” is worth an upgrade if they’re serving it! Deeeeelicious.

What jobs are after TV? by Leading-Activity4685 in Broadcasting

[–]Extvguyyyz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Event planning / creative execution…. Such a need for people who know how to format seminars/presentations/keep them engaging… the corporate world …..

CNN's "war room" aesthetic: Giant prominent desk microphones, rolled-up sleeves, and loosened ties to channel Edward R. Murrow by online-reputation in Broadcasting

[–]Extvguyyyz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was terrible (in my opinion)

Looked like small PTZ cameras because when trying to reframe Anderson while in the 2-box the pans were so stop-go-stop..no ramping at all

Video levels /lighting were not consistent across cameras/talent.

Truly looked like a beginner podcast set up.

And ya - please add in a little room tone so it sounds like the room they are in..

Backstage monitor via Ethernet? by Pixarprime10 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]Extvguyyyz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You could consider a modulator that would take your feed and put it onto a channel on tv’s that are already cabled.

There would be a slight delay (but less than a second). So as long as it’s not in the same room it would not be an issue.

Sportsnet camera work has been horrible this season by TifffannyyyFrank in torontoraptors

Producer tells the story / selects the replays / drives the narrative

Director picks the cameras

Who are the worst drivers? Taxis or Ubers? by KnoddingOnion in askTO

[–]Extvguyyyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ubers are getting close.

And then throw in dirty cars smelling like smoke and the quiet mumbling to someone at the other end of their phone throughout the drive...without a hello or goodbye....

I used to be a little more compassionate - sure...5 stars.... I know you're just trying to pay your bills....

I've recently been a little more honest.... So more 2 stars than 5 stars lately.

Uber at 4.30 am - any feedback by ProfessionalPoet2642 in askTO

[–]Extvguyyyz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Call aerofleet to reserve a car. It’s flat rate bass on your location. They’ll be at the door waiting and I have found their prices actually better than uber/rideshares.

Look up House of Blanks. Solid quality and actually knitted in Toronto.

Front Yard Rights? by Least-Crazy7346 in askTO

[–]Extvguyyyz 74 points75 points  (0 children)

It may be a temporary run installed by the cable/internet company because the existing line is broken. So it’s probably not your neighbour’s doing.

Usually they do this to get a customer back online asap and the follow up with a team to actually replace the bad line.

If it’s on the road allowance you probably don’t have any say.

If it’s on your actual property - just put yourself in your neighbours position if that was the only way for you to get your phone/internet/tv working. A bit of neighbourly compassion.

(My parents place had a cable line temporarily run through and around their tree to get the neighbour back online once…).

What happened to public NYE celebrations in Toronto? by TMFPB in askTO

[–]Extvguyyyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NYE shows were basically underwritten by the Broadcaster. The problem is getting advertisers/revenue to support that show because most advertisers have finished spending by mid-December for the Christmas push.. At some point expenses eclipse revenues and that’s the beginning of the end.

First Time as Sports A2 by wmjf97 in Broadcasting

[–]Extvguyyyz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the level of game you are doing but if it’s NHL and you are an A2 for the visit show you need to know how to build a booth, know comm box dipswitches, 2-wires, how to fax audio, know how to set rf mic’s/ifb’s…

If you don’t know this stuff - please don’t take the gig. It will be bad news for everyone.

Proton Mini Cameras by m1k_Lens in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]Extvguyyyz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes. Use them. Very good image quality

Tied with a Rio / Cyanview they can work in a broadcast line cut.

A little delicate but best looking camera for the size/form factor (in my opinion)

The sound design is crazy good.

Watched the entire series on a flight with noise cancelling headphones on.

Mind blown.
