92 and Shooting
Industry Feedback
Just after the ‘Alive and Cooking!’ video appeared on YouTube. The online website Shooting People editor wrote a piece about ‘Alive and Cooking!’ in ‘SP Newsletter Issue no.136’. How the newsletter Editor knew the video was on YouTube is unclear. As a follow-up, Harold emailed the SP newsletter editor, but got no reply. Philip Carr replied to Harold Rubin’s Ad: ‘Paid Work for filmmaker’ in the (Wanted) section of SP’s daily “Filmmaker’s Bulletin “email. PostScript Harold Rubin died in November 2020, at 93.
Rough Night

An advertiser on mandy.com wanted video editors to shorten a 7′,00″ rough-cut. I applied to be the editor but got no reply, so I did my edit, regardless. My ungraded fine-cut without a sound mix or credits is only 4′,20″. Someone had a good night out…
