hell yeah. If anyone else tells ya different, ask to see some work they’ve released. I’d venture to say that dialog will end right there.
Again, rules are made to be broken. If you aint breakin’ em, you are no artist.

You did not specify your hourly, daily or weekely rates or how much time you’ll be spending on this so we can’r really do proper multiplication for ya.

It’s in trade for experience… like you and I happily started out.
We first paid a college to learn a little and then got paid a little to learn alot at our first gigs. It was awesome.
remember? -
You are welcome to surf the original programming on my website. I could never shoot a documentary with more than one camera as driving, hosting, directing and narrorating while shooting with one is challenging enough. 😉
There is no template. Jump cuts are effective as all get up if used properly… that is for a reason. Other times, there is no reason not to be telling the story with visuals. No rules. No templates. No guidline to go by on the next one. That is what is so wonderful about a documentary. Ya get to document then build a story. -
I don’t guess so. Who has time for presentations? They call, I let em know if I’m available, we agree on a rate or price then it’s booked or it aint. If I scheduled a pitch meeting with a network and the power that is doesn’t show up, I know I don’t want to do business with em and they are properly weeded.

Howdy, Rebecca.
As budgets tighten, we really are only hurting ourselves as editors if we allow revenue to be waisted. I see that a lot when introducing a freelance producer to the mix. I still make the show. They bill by the day for running errands or updating their facebook page. If I can save hiring intities money, that is in my best intrest in the long run.
For many years, it was always more profitable to be a specialist than a jack of all trades. That has changed becuase a preditor IS a specialist. Truth is, if I couldn’t do one-man-band turn-key productions, I’d be stuck in a salary cap. I can tell you, I’d not hire me as a staff editor because I require too much money, have a life and too much of an opinion. I WOULD, however, hire me to handle a project A-Z for one flat price. That’s my strength. If it’s yours, girl ride that wave like a stoner in a storm. -
How’s that work for ya when a place asks your hourly freelance rate? Some like to stick to that. Ya need to have one. Time is what we sell more oftent han not, like it or not.

You’ll have beeter luck with the cow’s job forum and sites like mandy.com and productionhub.com. Elance and others are low/no sites for students and such but without coming out and saying it.

Milton, don’t take it personal. It’s just that your post sounds like a bad commerical for a product that gives poor advice. Ironicly, your signature sells marketing tips. That kind of quacks me up like a freakin duck.
lol
but again, don’t take it personal. -
lol
Are you sure this appllies to this industry? Sounds more like yellow page ad sales.
I’d never pester/chase off a potential client…especially if I felt they could be a potential client.
