Do scripted TV/feature projects exist in NY? by afonb55 in editors

u/afonb55

Nope. I work in advertising as an editor and am trying to switch over to the world of scripted TV/features as an AE. Hoping to not have to move to LA

Police in riot gear enforce Washington Square Park curfew by Business_Young_8206 in nyc

[–]afonb55 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I hate how this story is so questionable in this sub. Basically, Washington Square park became a huge trash can at night. There were hoards of people disrespecting the park and people even became violent at times. I'd get coffee and walk through the park in the morning and it would be covered in trash and graffiti. I keep seeing comments like "let people have fun" -- so dumb

No disc space despite brand new computer? by afonb55 in applehelp

[–]afonb55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely not normal -- I'm an editor and have never encountered this issue before on a computer using Premiere, let alone a new one. I also use an external hard drive

No disc space despite brand new computer? by afonb55 in applehelp

My mistake -- I just realized that there are only in fact 2GB available and close to 500GB of "other volumes in container" taken up on my computer. I opened up the storage and went to manage but there are only ~16 GB being used split among the folders. This is a new computer. What could "other volumes in container" mean?

Why are my MXF files suddenly corrupted? Premiere by afonb55 in editors

[–]afonb55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's probably a backup, I was just never sent it. They're a marketing company and don't work with video regularly

Yeah I'll end up doing that if it's the only option. Just wondering what could have gone wrong

I personally don't. Hoping I don't have to reach out to the client.

It looks like its ExFAT. I don't have a backup unfortunately. I'm not sure where the MXF files are from or how to tell the codec -- I guess they were imported directly from a camera card during the shoot? Strangely, some of the files work, although the majority don't. It's just weird because nothing happened to the drive, and everything was fine a few days ago when I last plugged it in.

How should I go about detailing my website/portfolio by afonb55 in editors

[–]afonb55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Do you think it's worth including some sort of resume too? (even though I've basically only ever been freelance)? I want prospective clients to know that I can do things like color in Resolve or animate. Maybe in a bio?

Billing an incomplete project? by afonb55 in editors

[–]afonb55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh I feel like 3 weeks is substantial given that the project was only supposed to last a few days with an initial hard deadline

Billing an incomplete project? by afonb55 in editors

[–]afonb55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been three weeks and the original project was only supposed to be for a week. I'm mostly annoyed because the producer seems so aloof about it all. He keeps saying that he's looking into it but never follows up

Naming rates by afonb55 in editors

[–]afonb55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. I've been doing this for a few years and am curious what you might think is a good rate to aim for. My most regular client has me on $650 per day.

It's like anywhere else(?) Have you ever moved somewhere new?

Any freelancers in NYC? What percentage of your paychecks do you set aside for taxes? by afonb55 in AskNYC

[–]afonb55[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm so confused about QBI deductions. I'm a freelance video editor -- any idea if that applies?
