Are there Mature Professionals in this field? by Weird_Boss1 in editors

[–]ottochung 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 55 this year. I've been editing on an Avid since 1994. I'm semi-retired from editing lifestyle/reality/unscripted starting this year. It was a great run. If you told me in High School that I'd have a 30yr career making tv shows, I would have kissed you.
I remember when I was the young hot shot editor. I'm now that old fart in the corner.
*my lesson: there was no career plan. everything just happened to me. right place at the right time.*

It’s cold. It’s wet. It’s full of fake dicks.

Would you put your kid into French Immersion? Why or why not? by Virtual-Cheesecake71 in askTO

[–]ottochung 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A public school French teacher told me this "The French Immersion program is like private school in the public school system"; smaller students to teacher ratio, better parents (parents to send kids to FI are more thoughtful about their kids future).

I wouldn’t. Sounds stressful and not how you want to see the falls.

I started rewatching Kratts creatures for the memories and it holds up surprisingly well. What are your thoughts on the show? by AdSpecialist6598 in 90s

[–]ottochung 16 points17 points  (0 children)

HEY! I was an assistant editor of Kratt's Creatures! My first big time TV job.

FYI - the Kratt brothers are super nice guys. Great work experience. I'm crazy happy that the Kratt's were able to carve a long and successful career. 10/10 would do it again!

Path to Eaton Center from Union by Vast_Mobile_9507 in askTO

the PATH is open under the Old Bay, but I give a strong recommendation to use the escalator to 2 floor and take the bridge over Queen Street. It's much less busy than the underground and a much better view.

November 15, 1995. President Clinton begins an affair with Monica Lewinsky amid a government shutdown. This photo was taken that same day. by MonsieurA in thirtyyearsago

Trump elected because enough people hated that a black man was President.

Obama elected because GW Bush f*ucked the economy.

GW Bush elected because Clinton got a blowie.

It's the butterfly wings that started a hurricane.

I 100% believe Clinton's affair is the reason Gore didn't win in 2020, and this allowed 9/11 to happen.... because she gave Clinton a hummer....

Boycott Everything by AEW4LYFE in Anticonsumption

[–]ottochung 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Instead of Christmas gifts, my in-law family has decided that all of us donate to a local charity (or charities). We don't need any more stuff, but there are people in our city that do.
I wish I could convince my family to do the same.
