Send it back. Something is wrong, sounds like you have a damaged copy.

Hi all. Haven't been on the list for years, but am back into clay and
loving every minute. I bought the new Nils Lou video, and have read great
reviews on it here on the list. I am wondering if there is something wrong
with the dvd that I have and should send it back. In my dvd, it jumps in
mid sentence in places and goes into a completely different segment. It
will go from the throwing of the neck of a large form, right into the
middle of his throwing a large bowl, and the conversation doesn't match at
all. I have read where he discussed S cracks, and since he doesn't set the
bottom of anything he throws on the tape, we were anxious to hear how he
deals with the S-cracks, but it is missing on my tape.
So for those of you who already have his tape, can you tell me if I have a
bad copy, or is yours the same. If so then the director and editor have
really done a bad job on this video. My gosh, what a wonderful potter Nils
is. Watching him work is mesmorizing. Great new ideas I have not seen
before, and his techniques and work habits are a privilege to watch. The
dvd directing and editing, could be the problem. However, maybe not, and
I just have a tape with a bunch of missing parts which needs to be
returned and replaced.
Any help with this would be appreciated.

Hi Sylvia,
Had exactly the same experience, and I know of another such
instance. There is as far as I know nothing wrong with the DVD itself.
I believe that it is simply cut that way. As you say, fantastic to
watch but annoyingly badly cut. I believe it is excerpts from the 3
part video. I never did follow it up - maybe there was a bad batch but
it just didn't look like a bad DVD to me - could be wrong. I learned a
bunch from it so it seemed it had served its purpose.
Thanx
D
