You do not get anywhere in this life by sitting on your ass doing nothing. It does no harm in emailing and seeing what comes of it. I have had plenty of replies from production companies over the years when I have asked for details. So, if you don't ask, you don't get. No harm done.


What if your ass decides to walk down the street?

You don't?! You mean to say my sixteen years on this forum have been completely wasted?

I once wanted to find out something from 2entertain (part of BBC Worldwide I think it is now). The office never replied, in the end I emailed the man at the top, can't remember his name, he replied straight away and told his team to reply to me. I was shocked to get a response. I had the detailed info the next day.

I recently attempted to get in touch with Sky News online to see if the YouTube live stream could be at 25fps instead of the current motion judder 30fps that they stream with. The email bounced back as nobody has checked the inbox!

Looks like HIGNFY is going ahead if this is any indication…

Oh dear. Like YouTube comments we get the same nonsense. No matter what you write you are always ripped apart by someone. Why bother with these forums if you can't express an opinion, a view, experiences etc. Childish.

One trick I've learned when inquiring about something or complaining about customer service is to find the email format. You then BCC any and everyone you might think be involved. I had a serious issue with Comcast about ten years ago, sent it to almost every board member, and anyone else I could guess. Within a few hours I got a response and a tech was out the next day. Plus I got three large tins of luxury popcorn and gift certificates.

Though some corporations have got wise to that, and have different email address formats for people in public-facing posts, with the standard email boxes often also still present, but monitored by others in the corporation (and avoiding a bounce back).
