I’ve been freelancing successfully in NYC for the past 6 years working on commercials/promos/social pieces for various networks. Recent life events are having me move down to Washington D.C. in the next month or two.
Any tips or general info about the market down there? I don’t really have any sense of what pay, or what types of projects there are to work on. Doing some quick browsing, I’m obviously seeing a lot of political jobs, but either way, any guidance on how to approach working in the area?
Hello. I'm a relative newcomer to the video editing field but I have intermediate skills using the video editor that I currently use (HitFilm Express for those of you wondering). I'm trying to find jobs as a low-paid or free editor to gain experience but I can't find anyone who is looking for a cheap or free editor anywhere. Do you guys know where I could find something like this?
Nobody is going to use Hitfilm professionally. Consider now, learning something else. You're on an island. If you want to work for cheap, fivvrr and upwork are full of people trying to race to the bottom.
I’ve cut for a few student projects and small businesses but I’m interested in the “this guy edits ‘go-to editor la” course. It’s $400 which is a lot of money but the course looks really interesting. Are editing courses like this ever worth it professionally?
Yea they are worth it because you pick up a lot of tips from professionals which you can only otherwise do in mentoring roles or on the job. Even then many people don't want to share their skills
I also teach courses and find it really rewarding for everyone
I am really close to purchasing it as well. It looks like years of mentor-ship squeezed into 400 dollars.
I have purchased Udemy courses and I believe its always worth it to invest in education, same as you would invest in gear. But this one seems more like giving tips from the inside, based on experiences, which you would not get from any classes otherwise.
