gobbledonk Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M40poyUFM8Y&feature=related They are KATOEYS, you cretin - they make money by being 'chicks with dicks', for fucks sake, and you spend half the vid ranting about how 'strange' it is that they want to hang onto their money makers. Other than the ability to focus a camera, this guy is a waste of space IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asiafun Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 This guy rambles too much and is not focused on his questions. If he intends on making a business/living out of the types of interviews, he needs to get his shit together. If he is going to include shots of the surrounding area, he really should not pan away in the middle of the interview. He needs to get those images at a separate time (or utilizing a second cameraman) and then dub them in the final product. He should have also been better mannered when taking the gratuitous ass shots. Again those extra images could have been dubbed into the final product in conjunction with a more formalized "photo session". Overall, I wanted to beat him with his microphone.

Flashermac Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 He'd be a journalist then... Hey! I used to be a journalist. Of course, we were different back then - much more professional and way more cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 My apologies, my father and sister and others in the family were Journos, but the standard these days is appalling. Captioning a photo of a leopard as a tiger... Calling a catamaran a mono hull... Complete inability to understand anything remotely to do with science, or numbers, or logic... these and other things issuing forth from the minds of paid journos are the things I rail against.

dave is a douchebag Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 You probably heard of Flash in the 70s. They called him deep throat. He didn't care much for Nixon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I was a print journalist. Folks still used megaphones back then. Instead of movies we flipped a lot of cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I wanted to beat him with something far more substantial than a microphone - a tree branch at the very least ... Good point about the wayward pan in the middle of the freakin' 'interview' : who the hell does that unless there is something dramatic happening close by ? He obviously has a good camera, and the somewhat rare ability to keep it steady and focussed, but seems intent on throwing that one *plus* out the window. I'm with coss on the general standard of 'journalism' today - its appalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asiafun Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 A microphone, when employed properly, results in far less bruising and can still hurt like the dickens. Next week I will teach you how to cut someone with a soda straw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
