DP: 30p

Me: Ok, so you mean 29.97?

DP: No, it just says 30p.
Me: Ok, I'm moving to PAL land.

What used to be the most infuriating moment of any project for me has turned into a numbness of ignorance and willful disobedience to learn what the hell you're talking about. For a little help on the matter at hand, the guys as FilmmakerIQ.com have made some mandatory watching material. It will probably be my auto-reply to any job inquiries for the next year. Please watch and share.

See? Science!
