Notes:
I'm back! Been up to a ton of stuff, and this short film being released into the wild being one part of that. Thank y'all for the incredible support that keeps me coming back to make videos.
The big takeaway I want from this video is to encourage people to value their time and charge a fair wage for their services. The race to the bottom doesn't really help anyone. The other takeaway is to maybe get folks to consider the skills they should have before starting to work with and charge clients for post production services. My advice is to pick up the program, take Black magic's courses, really study the manual and learn how things actually work in the program. Start working with free clips and then see if you have some friends who've shot something that you can grade. Reach out to filmmaking forums and explain your situation and how you're looking for experience right now, music videos, short films, documentaries, if you're able to get compensated a bit that's great but right now you're learning and bolstering your resume. Then after you've practiced a couple years, gotten some experience and have a reel put together of work you've been hired to do (not free/tutorial clips) then I'd say really put yourself out there and consult with any professionals in your filed and location their rates so you can make informed decisions.
