Wow
I find it absolutely despicable that you are judging me in this way – you have no idea what my background is or what my work is like
I wouldn’t usually bother to justify myself but I am sick of coming across stereotypical people in this industry…
I too have accumulated ‘hard-earned professional knowledge’ from running my own video production company for 6 years so some people might consider that makes me a professional in this industry (I acknoweldge that 6 years is not a lot of experience but for a 25 year old who also has a 3 year degree behind her – I would say it is a good start).
From running the business (which included every aspect of production: proposals, pitching, budgeting, marketing, planning, camerawork, cinematography, sound recording, editing, postproduction, DVD authoring, cover design, ete etc) I have faced all of the struggles u mentioned so there is honestly no need to preach to me about how hard it is when non-professionals undermine your work – because I know first hand.
i thought running the business would be a great way to get hands on experience whilst doing something i enjoy - and it was
Why do you have such a hard time allowing someone to branch out in a new direction?
Why not accept or at least offer an open ear/hand to an eager-to-develop person?
Going back to the sentiment that something either feels right or wrong - I was simply saying the edit certainly doesn’t feel wrong and so maybe I am being too harsh on myself… as I usually am.
I think it is totally unacceptable to say ‘It doesn't matter if your effort isn't up to par.’ I believe it should be as professional and entertaining as possible.
Needless to say I will never post back on this forum because of the arrogance and ignorance encountered – I hope it is justified
Best
