My first time back into Central London (@envypost) for… counts on fingers… 34 months 😱. Producer wants an in suite viewing….

The show I worked on for @NorthOneTV last spring has made an appearance on @discoveryplus today: Jack Osbourne’s Haunted Homecoming. I cut episode 1, a paranormal investigation into the Osbourne’s Bucks home, where Jack gets a bit more than he bargained for…

Available for editing work from 28th November. Documentary/Factual experience - Discovery credits for the most part this year. U.K. based, would prefer remote or hybrid. CV here: https://t.co/bJtx8vhgbr

@Aku_Shaku Just a couple while we get our fibre connection fixed.

Spent my first day back in the cutting room since March 2020 today. Hated it. Tiresome commute; didn’t see anyone all day. Missed my super duper gaming chair & found out my current pair of varifocals don’t work properly if the screens are to close… 😤🫤

And the coffee wasn’t as good as it is at home…

[Black Dog Post Production @blackdogpp]

@ChadRubel Thank you, dude. Hope whatever positive vibes you needed yesterday manifested themselves…

[Black Dog Post Production @blackdogpp]

Frustrating first day on a new edit 🙃. Potential sound issues, Teradici not displaying the remote Avid properly on my home setup. And a shitload of rushes with no obvious entry point. Onwards & upwards!!

[Black Dog Post Production @blackdogpp]

Don’t you just hate those shows you have to sign off from with a whimper ‘cause they’re not quite finished but you’ve got to move on & someone else will do the final tweaks? #editing #notes

Another Thursday, another 8 hour #Zoom viewing… jeez… #exhausted 🥱

[Black Dog Post Production @blackdogpp]

8hr 😱😱 #zoom viewing yesterday. More exhausting than just sitting down to edit….

[Black Dog Post Production @blackdogpp]

@spencerhouck @MediaComposer Yep

[Black Dog Post Production @blackdogpp]

Ok. So my least favourite @MediaComposer error is the self perpetuating ‘invalid trim’ which causes an endless cycle of error messages & an inability to crash out. Undoubtedly my fault, but 😤🤯

23 years ago I used the Blue Danube to create a ‘waltz’ of @F1 cars for an awards ceremony. Today I am using it as a temp track on a sequence involving excavators sliding about on ice. 🤞🏻 it makes the final cut…

[Black Dog Post Production @blackdogpp]

@AndyBobMckee @DrChowman @EditorTrace No me neither, just thinking ahead.

[Black Dog Post Production @blackdogpp]

Question of the day: while Remote/Hybrid editing still seems acceptable to a large proportion of employers, I’ve seen a number of adverts stipulating ‘remote work is not possible’ recently. Why is this?

[Black Dog Post Production @blackdogpp]

@DrChowman See that’s what I don’t understand. Do they just not want to use Teradici etc, or is it a physical drive issue? I’m cutting at @envypost without being at Envy & it’s wonderful.

[Black Dog Post Production @blackdogpp]

I’m much happier with my work life balance and get more done working at home. No commute. No travel costs. Walk the dogs a lunchtime. What’s not to like?

[Black Dog Post Production @blackdogpp]

Is it a control issue? Software? Genuinely interested to know why certain companies/producers dismiss a proven workflow.
