You are correct Tom; I didn’t join until reading your post. I’m a long time lurker and I never thought I had anything to say that people could benefit from. That said, this has been a quite interesting thread…
The reason I sided with Andrea is because I have taken the steps to become a professional but haven’t been fortunate enough to make it in the business. I’ve graduated from college, worked an internship in video production, and I’m now begrudgingly working in print design and working video production on the side.
Do I know how to slap together a marketing video as Andrea requests…sure, but I’m hopeful that someone will give her a sliver of info that I hadn’t thought of that just might give me the edge on my next project. God forbid we ever revisit the basics.
