I operate a group of picture framing schools in CT, Vegas and Orlando. Wanna open a custom picture framing business? The profit picture can be pretty nice.
I wrote for a magazine for 10 years prior to starting my first school. If I could however, I'd produce videos. I love the technology and the creativity. |

Marco,
I have done reviews at both www.DVinfo.net and www.HDVinfo.net, which led to co-writing "HDV: What You Need to Know, Vol. 2" with Douglas Spotted Eagle. From there, I contacted DMN and Videomaker, and they hired me to write as a freelancer. I also have written a few things at VASST (DSE's company) and 3 years ago, I interviewed the OPEN WATER filmmakers for MovieMaker. I'd love to write for MM again. It's a lot of fun! heath

And like most of us here, I'd love to work only as a film director/producer. However, I love my day jobs.

The only camera's I remember him using before his Sony vx2100 which he owns now was a Sony vx2000 and before that a vx9000. He has a wall filled up with vhs decks which he still uses for people who want a vhs tranfer to dvd. I remember him doing his first "real" edits on a cassablanca avio which he still has and which is still operational. Now since 2 years he is using a pc with pinnacle studio 10 and recently he bought a dual core pc :) and that at an age of 65. He still does weddings but is slowly getting tired of it. He thinks hdv sucks and is no better then dv :) and the only way to measure a camera's performance is by how well it performes in low light. It is by joining him at a few weddings I managed to get my feet wet and learning the business. Hopefully I will still be filming at his age. :)

Java programmer - web applications developer. I've been in that industry for almost 13 years now. Can't say that I like it, but it pays well - letting me buy all my video gear and occasionally have time to use it. ;-)

I am Systems Engineer for a company that sells Telecommunications Test Equipment. I suppose I am one of the leading experts on testing T1 circuits from a Network Operations Center. I have been doing pretty much the same type of work for over 20 years. It pays well and except for the extensive travel, it is a good job that leaves my weekends open, and I can live anywhere in the USA that I wish to live.

I notice you live in Clermont, Steven, that's cool. I love my jobs, too, because if my wife and I decide to move, I can continue writing articles. However, I'll need to find new production work.
It's cool that there are a lot of IT people on our board. I've noticed people who are breaking into the industry in my area have a similar background. heath

I've noticed that too, if you are a true geek it tends to spill over into a lot of other areas like sound/video production, HAM, RC toys, guns, custom street rods, etc. I think being confortable with something most find complicated really helps the crossovers.

I notice a lot of filmmakers and videographers (and IT people) are also avid photographers, usually with DSLRs.

Dylan's the man! I have a friend who is a full-time editor on major motion pictures. I envy him. The DP on my film is pretty much a full-time DP on music videos and various films.
