Discreet's General Manager Paul Lypaczewski cites harsh economic conditions, slow sales
Discreet announced today it plans to lay off 30% of its systems staff in Europe, and move all the remaining employees from its systems business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa to its London headquarters in the Soho district. In a statement to Digital Media Net, the company attributed the layoffs to "difficult economic conditions and shifting market dynamics in the systems business."

Why travel when you can present like this?
Companies across the world are looking to improve efficiency. One of the first things to go when budgets tighten is travel. Moving people half way around the world seems like an unnecessary expense and time-waster when you see the recent advances made in Web-based presentations. One company, Sonic Foundry, has developed MediaSite Live, a product that lets you use your everyday presentation program, capturing everything you do on your computer and combining it with video of yourself or anything else. Along with that video window are graphics you can design yourself. The result makes you wonder why you ever traveled anywhere to make a presentation.

Calling attention to yourself usually not a good idea
When I was a director, calling shots for live TV, I learned a lot of things about editing. Because calling shots live is nothing but sped-up editing, on the fly, in real time, you must compress all the skills of editing into a split second. In an instant, you evaluate the shot, assess the timing, and initiate the cut, dissolve or effect by calling it out -- right then and there. One good thing about this live pressure-cooker -- it's over when it's over, it's quick, and it feels so good when you stop. The comparison of live video directing to editing is like a baseball player's weight ring he puts on the bat when he's on deck -- it makes the bat seem so much lighter when it's time to step up to the plate. Let's take a look at some live television directing skills that translate well into the editing domain.
