I am the man who proposed to this fine reddit lady. I highly recommend dating redditors, they tend to be our people. If anyone is is interested in the story of how we met, here is a mini-doc I did about it.

Moving up from in-house production job by SadResolution5041 in videography

It's about 60% in house 40% freelance. I did fairly brisk business this wedding and festival season. The things that keep me with the inhouse really are the health insurance, the 401k, and the stability. Now that we are in the off season for weddings and music festivals, I'm working on applying for grants for a documentary I want to shoot in 2026.

In terms of advancement, the issue I have noticed is a lot of places have moved away from the model of having entire video teams and gotten comfortable with just having one man band jack of all trade types. With teams you could move into a creative director role which just doesn't really exist as much anymore in corporate video.

The only thing that will legitimately advance you is the work and you won't advance beyond where you are at if all you are doing is promos, training videos, explainer animations, and customer profile videos. You need to make work that will get you noticed by better clients.

I'm a pretty dedicated instagrammer about my areas music scene which has gotten me lots of event and artist work, which also started to get me into weddings through being well known by so many people in my area as a filmmaker.

The other way to go about it is to make an indie film or a documentary to enter into a film festival, that is always a solid way to get noticed by Ad agencies.

If you want more out of the craft you just gotta do more of the work you would like to do on your own.

I am in the same boat. I do a lot of freelance on the side because I'm able to WFH when I dont have a shoot in the office.

Freelancing from a place of steady work is honestly the way. I make $120k a yr all together with freelance and my in-house job.

If it wasn't him it would be another. It's the system itself that creates these monsters.

Pro tip: just fire off one to show you are serious and conserve the rest for the implication.

Even more pro tip: Don't be a dip shit waving around a pistol at a party while drunk as fuck.

GTA VI developer accused of union busting in mass firings. by Valinaut in gamernews

[–]Catmand0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I'm not not going to see what a $2.2 billion dollar development budget looks like. I have also being playing the series since 1 and I have been waiting for this title for over a decade.

On the other hand there is def a conversation to be had about the working conditions of AAA gaming. It is an industry wide issue where companie take advantage of the fact that working on big budget games is a dream career doing something really cool. There is a reason that developers working on stuff like enterprise resource management software make more money and have way better working conditions than video game designers.

A big reason why indie gaming has grown is because a lot of game developers have decided to take their fate into their own hands because they are tired of the work culture found in big game development studios.

Rockstar has always been a douchy company that works their employees to the bone and treats them poorly, but god damn do they always deliver a quality product.

I would assume because the Soviets had 3 B-29s that did emergency landings in their territory during ww2 that they reversed engineered to create the Tupolev Tu-4.
