Re: [Avid-L2] Need an editor?

Wouldn't it be more true to say that we have lived in a sweet spot of production history?

If anything visual storytelling is more of a sweet spot then ever before in history.

Places like this place, unqualified people who learn how to use an Avid and call themselves editors (and take a MUCH lower rate) and reality TV budgets have cut the heart out of this industry. The situation seems pretty bleak and the problem is that the people involved in making decisions with how a show looks don't care about telling a story anymore, they care about coming in under budget and on time. We are stuck with 42 minute montages. This part of the industry is dying a slow death and what was once a craft is being reduced to painting by numbers.
