I came here to look for the american dream. Ironically enough I'm now working for MTV again. But this time I'm working for the Danish and the Norwegian channel in stead of the Swedish one.
I'm co-producing and editing Headbangers Ball from New York. So if you haven't figured it out from previous posts, I moved to NY.
We just started working on the project and we've experienced a lot of technical issues. The final cut is messing stuff up more than ever. The day before yesterday it made a clip out of sync by 4 seconds when I put it down on the timeline. What the hell is that all about!? Everyone I talked to agreed that is way beyond normal. But when I finally solved that and I wanted to get all the material over to the Stockholm office my internet connection broke down on me, it took me 10 hours just to upload one clip. So I went over to Anki today to finnish the last things on the first show and to upload everything but then her internet crashed. I do believe technology in general is against me. It's like that movie The Happening but with computers...
Anyway, now its 1.30 am and I'm sitting at the 24/356 Apple store on 5th Av. They have great internet connection, I don't think I've ever seen clips upload so fast. Amazing.
And despite the late/early hour there are surprisingly many people here. I admit that most of them work here but there are quite a few customers too. Or maybe they're just here mooching of the internet like me.
