Liabilities

Having an editing suite can cause many problems law wise.

One might fall under breach of contract. Considering each customer will have a different price since work varies. A customer might feel they are entitled to more time to edit than they paid for. Therefore, they might want more time for no pay.

Another might be distribution issue. Since they are editing video, if someone gets a hold of the media before the distribution date, my company might be held accountable.

Lastly, insurance on material or media edited. Since technology isn’t 100% and sometimes it fails. If I don’t have insurance on a hard drives, I can get in major trouble if a system hard drive crash. I can lose information that might take time and money to get back, or never able to retrieve again. Resulting in loss of customers and possible court case.

Some law suites that’s going on today as posted on Law360.com are, The Google ruling limit video privacy law, Sony tries to avoid redo in Ghostface Killah IP suit, and the fear Netflix has if AT&T merges with DirecTV.

 The case with Google has to do with allegations of Google and Viacom monitoring children’s Internet activity. The reason why I consider this important is because, if Google is found guilty of doing this, that can lead to restricting Google and their activity. Anyone who wants to be seen in the Internet wants maximum exposure on a site like Google. This could possibly make it difficult for small business to shine.

With Sony and Ghostface Killah (Rapper), this is about the rapper using copy written material in 2000 that is now being looked at in detail. I can easily be a victim to something like this when editing a video or media. Copyright laws differ depending on the material, company and situation. So this is something I will have to be careful of when starting my own company.

Lastly the fear Netflix has if AT&T and DirecTV. Netflix feels that if these competing names merge it will be the end of alternate streaming.  It will limit streaming and stop companies like Netflix from reaching customers. This affects my clients and me because companies such as Netflix and Hulu helps young film makers promote and stream independent movies. These are the same people looking for editing suites to edit their material. If the merger happens then I can expect a decline in customers, which isn’t good at all.

Excite place in Orlando

Recently, I visited two areas of Orlando Florida that I didn’t know exist. The first place was a white house called Timucua and the other was the Orlando Museum of Art.

When I arrived at the White house, I was just amazed. Walking in surprised me because on the outside it looks like a simple white house. However, on the inside you have a welcoming area with cakes and wine available to guest. Walking in further is the stage and seating area. This was like walking into another world. Bamboo wood floors and walls, multiple floors with a spiral staircase, and walls and ceiling designed to reduce bouncing of sound. After I too a seat on the second floor, I looked down upon the grand piano as the young jazz artists played selected pieces of music.

This experience was great and I’m glad I went. A great strength I see is the exclusivity of the White House. Not that it’s was hard to find, but because of the people. Music lovers that want the experience, as well as artists who can perform without being judged.

If I could name three things that would fix Timucua White House, it would be the seats, more info on the calendar about artist, and the food.

The seats were mentioned, because they were really close to one other. I understand fitting as many people as they can, but it was weird when sitting next to someone I didn’t know. I would make the chairs on the second and third floor more spaced out.

The information about the artist because, the three men I seen perform were great but I can’t remember there name. This is something I would love to have, so I can tell others about them.

The food, I had an issue with the preparation of some of the food that was served. They served muscles out of a plastic container. Some might not look at this as something to complain about, but that’s a very sensitive type of sea food. They were over cooked and not kept hot, which makes them easily susceptible to bacteria, resulting in food poison. A solution would be to hire me to cook. I love to cook, and I know how to cook in a professional setting with over 6 years of experience .

The other venue I attended was the Orlando museum of Art. It wasn’t as surprising as the White House but I always welcome art. The exhibit hasn’t really change since my last visit in early January, except for once section from Maya Lin.

The exhibit displayed eye deceiving patterns, as well as awesome perspective view on 3d art.

Three things I would improve is the placement of art, customer service, and the children’s art area.

The placement of art because there really isn’t a sections for new art, it’s just randomly place between the old exhibits. I would have a section set aside just for new exhibits and still maintain the path to the older ones.

The customer service was bad. While I was there, at least three people including myself needed assistance and no one was eager to help. Instead of the employees they have, the museum needs to hire people who are good in customer service and love art. This would consist of a more delicate interview process.

The children’s area is literally on another side of the museum. This feels wrong to separate the children art from everyone else. Weather it’s not good enough or they don’t have room. Connecting the gallery can improve traffic when looking at younger artwork. This wouldn’t cost a lot considering a little construction or just moving the art around.
