In response last night to a comment from CaptRespect:"First musical segways, next commercials! It's the end of croncast as we know it!" I left this:
Yikes! I can stop that one right quick. It's not the end of the show as you know it!
After testing out the transitions for a week I've grown tired of doing them and have found in my case, as the producer, they really don't add anything. I would venture to say that they are taking something away.
All that they really prove is that I can work a non-linear editor. Big whoop.
What I was trying to do was give Croncast some of the same treatment that I give client work. I was taking my time, listening to the entire show, looking for awkward phrasing, mic pops and all kinds of other stuff I have never done with our show.
CaptRespect, I feel your concern . . . and actually shared it this morning as I was putting together today's show. If we were putting the show out once a week and I could dedicate a good 10-12 hours to editing then I think the transitions would stay. I don't think they quite follow our show form.
But either way, if they stay or if they go, at least I tried something new with the show.
Thanks, Frick, Bob, CaptRespect and the rest of you who have sent emails for or concerned about the change.
