Dear [professional source] makers,
I appreciate that sometimes you have to go back and do pick up shots. Hey, shit happens. However, when you do it might behoove you to actually pay attention to [identifying detail] when setting up said shot. This way your friendly neighborhood vidder won't end up trying to fix your mistake on the timeline in a frustrated funk because she needs that clip.
This is not the first, and I have no doubt not the last, time this has happened to me. Whether it's tv or movies or whatever there is always that moment where someone gets sloppy with pick up shots or with stunt doubles or something. And in a larger work the professional editor can usually fudge it enough that it doesn't draw notice except on trivia boards. But for vidders it is a nightmare. Your magic disappearing/reappearing truck/tree/arm/etc (examples are completely random and not related) DO NOT AMUSE US. Please, for the love of my sanity, stop doing it.
