“For example, I much prefer the way Avid patches source and record on the timeline much more than Final Cut or Premiere did, but now Premiere basically does it exactly how Avid does it.”

David Frisk, where did you read/see that? I was wondering how they changed that…

Many of you threw out some rates and I’m wondering, are these rates for video/television production or film? I’ve read interviews with some film editors who say you can make between $25-$100 per hour but I’ve never heard/read someone making more than $100/hr on a film. Does feature film work typically pay less than commercial/video production work? Obviously, budget is a variable when it comes to films, so let’s cover both bigger budget films ($1million or more) and lower budget film, say $100K-$500K.

Thanks!

So I sent him the quote and he didn’t respond. I’m assuming he thought it was too much. I’ll follow up later in the day. Anyways, at least I’ll know where he stands on this.

Thanks so much for the advice guys!

Oh… another problem I have is that I tend to mix up and bring in my MOVIE WORK (I’m a director before anything) with my VIDEO WORK.

While I am pleased with this short film I did, I hardly think this

will impress a client who wants me to shoot a video about credit reformation.

And I don’t think a company that wants to shoot promotional material about lights would find it interesting that I directed this:

I always tend to mix the two fields together… Gotta break that habit.

Scott,

Thanks for the kind words and support! I definitely haven’t taken offense to anything anyone has said. Thanks for the support though! Your website is awesome! I wish I had a website like that! hahaha

Timothy,

Thanks for that page. I’ll definitely apply what I learned there and I’ll also try to apply what you said in your post as well! Great information there.

Ryan,

No offense taken at all! In fact, you’re comments got me moving and I redesigned the site. It’s not great, but it’s better than it was before. The reason I stayed up was because I thought to myself, “Geez, if he feels that way, I’m sure other people feel that way too. I don’t want to embarrass myself. I better get on this quick!”

And so I did… And yes, you are correct about the Video Copilot products. I cut that promo right after I bought Evolution and I just kept it. The only downside is that I don’t really see how anyone can use Evolution without being called out on using a VCP product… so I’m going to stay away from Evolution…

Most of the stuff on the site is old and I’ve grown and improved since then. I didn’t make wise decisions about what to use and how to implement it well in reels, etc. but I know better now. I just got lazy and left it up on my site.

But especially from the comments I got on here, they’ve caused me to actually MOVE and DO something about it.

So Ryan, no offense taken. I know you were just trying to be REAL with me, and not sugarcoat things. I worked with a director who’s friends and family told him his stuff was great when in reality, he was a hack that thought he was brilliant (probably because he was high and drunk 24/7 – even when we were shooting!).

Honestly, everyone’s comments have caused me to DO SOMETHING about the “crap” I had before, so it’s only going to benefit me when you look at the big picture.

And how could I be angry at that? =)

Yeah I made some MAJOR changes. Scrapped the old “BANK” website and made this one last night. I couldn’t sleep after I read Ryan’s comments so I did a huge overhaul.

I’m not done but I hope this is at least better. I still need to change a few things.

The demo on that site isn’t playing for me… Not sure why. I’ll try a different browser.

Okay. I have a better idea of what I have to do.

Ryan, you said you couldn’t view the Quicktime files. Not sure why this is… They’re all encoded in h264.

I’m going to have to look into it.

I guess that’s what happens when you make the site yourself…. I’ll get rid of this crap and hire someone as soon as I get the money.

Thanks guys!
