IMHO, Jon, there should be a reason for every edit (cut to B rollin this case). If the speaker says it better than the B roll, then let the speaker run with it. Usually, though, B roll keeps the viewers eyes on the screen. But I do think Mark’s last sentence said it best, and perhaps another way of saying it: if it ain’t broke, don’t try to fix it.

$30k? That’s about $15 an hour. Minimum wage is about $15k now. Common laborers make anywhere from $15k to $20k. Who owns the equipment you shoot/edit with? Whose mics? Someone has to pay for repairs, new equipment, software, you name it. Whose pocket will that come out of.

$30k, in my book, is a joke – unless there’s things like full health/dental insurance…

IMHO
