All the time I get professional cameramen asking me questions on how to use FCP, how to edit, where to find stock footage, etc. I do find it infuriating especially when they ask me at a freelance gig where i am trying to hold my ground. I say "I don't ask you how to use a Betacam and your custom setups do i? ". But i understand, everyone has to wear all the hats to survive, old media or Series, or Corporate work. Hey who needs a sound guy when i can buy a $500 lav and use it with my $4000 HDV? or $6000 Panasonic DVCHDPRO? Producers whom i used to freelance for at big studios are now doing everything for themselves, some were reluctant to reflect the savings back to the client at first. I meet people everywhere in Toronto that used to be in the production business, Film, and TV and it's not just because of the rising canadian dollar, governments on both sides of the borders are allowing these huge media companies to monopolize markets, eliminate jobs, and spew the same corporatized message thru all mediums, internet, tv, radio. The only place people can get accurate news is outside those boxes ? Social media will grow with exponential proportions in a tough market further squeezing the bottom line, but also encouraging new forms of production, and new markets. What they are and how they will pay are not set in stone. Keep up the great work Jim ! Hi Jim, as a freelance video editor, AVID and FCP, i see more and more of this happening.

I'm on both sides of it. I want to be compensated well for my work as a cameraman, but no one wants to pay for it anymore. And with all these new people coming in and throwing their hats into the new media bucket, it makes it that much harder for us to do so. So the question is, how do we still make our livings if everyone wants content for free? And what about those of us who do this professionally? Do we just give away our talent and skill for free? For someone like me, at the beginning of my professional cameraman career, that's a scary thought. It’s a scary prospect, this revolution. I’m on both sides of it.
