tired of getting bad footage

[Ryan Mast]

Then present it to him as a way to save time and money. Unless the shooter is someone I know and trust, I usually budget more time for editing & cleanup than I would if I were shooting myself. In many situations, it’d be the same amount of time/money for me to shoot and edit my own footage, as it is for me to clean and edit someone else’s footage. When talk with him and offer to give a shot list to the shooters, explain to him that this will save time and money. It will also save you time and give you a better product for your demo reel, so it can a good deal for both of you.

I suppose it doesn’t hurt to offer to shoot, too. Even if you shoot your own footage for just one of the projects, you’ll at least have one that you can use on your demo reel. And if he like you and notices the difference between your footage and the other shooter’s footage, you might get more work.

Good luck!

Same thing happened to me quite some time ago.

Know what I did?

I went back to shooting again!

Now I shoot 60% of the time and still edit too.

Best of both worlds.
