Mega-Deadline Week
Much to do. Not much time to do it.
Chris (mail) (www):
Hey, 1 week is 168 hours! And if that doesn't seem like enough time, just consider that it's also 10,080 minutes! What can you possibly have to do that can take more than 10,000 minutes!

Hey, that reminds me of a quote. Something about lies, damn lies, and statistics...

Btw, good luck.

One week is also 604,800 seconds. In the video world, where I get to play, that translates into 18,144,000 frames, or 36,288,000 fields. I don't even know how many sub-fields that works out to; you'd have to ask an audio person.

When you've trained your eyes to watch for things that last 1/30 of a second, clockwatching becomes a form of torture. I've actually jogged videos forward because I didn't want to wait three seconds for them to start up.

Harry,

Though I haven't trained my eye to catch single-frame events — I hadn't realized that that was possible — I do the same thing with DVDs. I not infrequently thank God for people who forget to make all of those intro thingies in the front of a DVD unskippable (usually through some form of chapter advance, disc menu, and fast forward).
