Being on the receiving end of mixer wrath too many times, I have to stress first- communication.

second, consistency.


For low budget shows this extends to picture departments as well- The most important shift I have seen is the idea of dubbing from a show length output- (something I am doing right this second, on a show from Universal) this cuts time and effort substantially- it requires however time- because piece-meal reel by reel turnovers are not possible inside the paradigm- where the real strength of this paradigm lives is in cutting any repetitive materials like BG's- you can freely cut and paste through the timeline, maintaining track arrangement, and having setup time dramatically reduced.
