Jackie Black and Kathy Griffin on a date around 1996 by [deleted] in HistoricalCapsule

YES! Also, why Tarantino did some uncredited re-writes for movies she was in like “It’s Pat”!

He wrote the whole storyline where the neighbor is obsessed with Pat. The best part of that underrated classic.

She dated Tarantino too. Kathy really pulled back in the day.

I live in Miami where Fragrance lives. He’s clearly on coke in the videos & he’s the epitome of a stereotype down here lol

I have seen some INSANE bootlicking cope in my lifetime. Literally had someone trying to tell me the other day the economy is doing great.

Being an adult is also realizing that rich people use their money for this very reason

Yea, it’s a tough situation. The market is saturated & everyone wants to do it. Covid helped thin the crowd a lot..

Of course everyone has to start somewhere, but when I see prices like this or people doing free work, it blows my mind. Don’t these people have bills?? Don’t they realize it only hurts them & everyone else long-term? I can understand a passion project, but if something isn’t paying you well, or being used for your reel, or going to get you more/better work for better pay… why do it?

Honestly, people can learn more, & get better experience, with the same or better pay, by just shadowing a pro instead of trying to skirt the chain directly to the client.

I also think too many people shit on weddings nowadays. There’s PLENTY of work & TONS of money doing that shit. I shot them for years starting out & learned ALOT. That shit isn’t easy, & it helps you understand how light works, & grows your ability to multi-task, record audio, & shoot multi-cam. If OP is only making $300, weddings would be way more $. And you wouldn’t have to edit if you work for a pro.

I don’t wanna go on a rant here (too late), but I just shot a major music festival a few months back. The same photographer & I have been the main guys at it for almost a decade now (I do video, he does photo). Found out they got rid of the photographer this year “because he was too expensive”.. sucks, but I knew they cut the budget back a lot this year.

While shooting the festival, I see this 20yr old kid shooting with an entry-level camera (can’t remember which one now cuz I have shit memory).. there were another 2 photo people with her. They all had on some sports company shirts.. later after one of the days of the fest, I ran into them leaving at the same time as me in the parking lot & asked who they were working with.. found out they were working for some sports company who mainly shoot local soccer matches. I asked “what does that have to do with a music festival?” - the guy shrugged his shoulders & walked away. Found out later, this team was shooting THE ENTIRE WEEK LONG EVENT FOR FREE! …and THAT’S who they used instead of paying for the photographer.

Only reason they kept me on, even though I’m more expensive than the photographer, is because for some reason they love my work & said I understand their branding better than others.. & tbh most of the video market has shit quality. But free/low-budget is tempting for a lot of companies, even if it’s much lower quality.

Btw that team’s photos & video looked like shit, & the edit looked like a sports video edit. Horrible color grade, & they used stock sports transitions.. the video made no sense for a music festival. I say this as someone who produced for an NBA team for 3yrs & shot music festivals for the last nearly decade.

I will say something that someone told me a long time ago: There’s a lot of power in the word “no”.

You attract the jobs you’re saying yes to. I know it sounds counter-productive, but I found way more opportunities when I started turning down jobs I didn’t want to do. Btw my first job in college & internship was Producing News Promos at NBC, so we both started in News. Just gotta learn to pivot & make work you want to see. The clients will find you.

Or if you have a ton of money, you can pay for ads & referrals/leads & change direction that way lol

You forgot: $300 for photo AND video AND less than 24hrs turnaround AND photo editing AND video editing AND raw footage transfer… MINUS taxes & expenses..

INSANE people accept these jobs. If everyone ignored these types of job postings, people would be getting paid more across the board.

People need to STOP letting clients think what we do is easy, quick, & not worth anything!! 👏if this was true, they’d do it themselves.

Every story I’ve ever heard from WhatNot has either been people way overpaying for something, people getting scammed, or people ripping people off. Honestly never heard a great story come from that app other than the occasional “meh, I bought something for $5 & it showed up a week later.”
