Was actually planning on using this as a segment of what would be a ten-minute program and perhaps using it for a later show. But you're right, the quality is rather atrocious. I'll scrap this, then; we've got plenty of other segments planned anyway. Mostly we just did this on the spur of the moment because Straub really does owe the guy money, and letting him slap Straub in fronenglisht of the other Puerto Rican gangsters allowed the guy to gain much-needed status and now he doesn't even care about the money. Maybe I can do something with a portion of the footage later on, though.

In the meantime, a friend has lent me one of these awesome little cameras, about the size of a cell phone, that can record an hour of  HD footage with really high quality audio to boot. Got some fairly high-concept skits written and will film soon. Probably won't use them for BushwickBK, though.

I'm going to ask Ellen Johnson of my PAC about the 30-second spot I wanted you to do and see if she can authorize the payment to you for doing that. Will get back to you on that soon.

I know you really like this video, but i feel like i should express my concern that the quality is so bad, if it were my video ... i would scrap it and just call it a trial.
people are used to better quality than this and the sound is so bad, yes, caption can be done but...if i were you i would just do it over....I also think that if this is your first show there should be more intro. Because you get it, it may still play for you with this quality, but i think for outsiders it wont play as well. It is human to want to SEE faces and faces here are not readable. thats the major issue.
perhaps you plan on doing that .
Anyway, if you are sure you want to go with it...it would not take long and i will cut it down for you... you have to put it in file sharing.
thanks
