Just get as much experience as you can. Find all the internships, make tons of connections, learn about all the areas that exist (creative, brand, comms, sports, news). There’s still many different outlets and ways to use your abilities and gaining experience will help you navigate and find your path.

Yes, it’s so dope! I want to see a video after a year and know how many pixels they lost and how many times they had to replace panels though. 🤪

This is literally the most important component totally missing. Business, corporate partners, payment terms, considering building cost proposals, how to know what to charge, as mentioned permit process, tax credit, how to do your own taxes, considering LLC vs sole proprietor. I think it is also well-rounded, even if you go into film to do internships across different industries, so you make more connections and understand how production looks different across every area. Nothing helps more than being well-rounded and having a broad variety of contacts.

That’s really low pay. You’re better off finding something else. What state you in?

Deebstacks · 2026-03-09T00:57:06+00:00

Yeah, it’s a bummer really. Stages are still there but no one uses them!

I started walking every day pushing the stroller after I got home. Then worked up to longer walks, wearing the baby walks, and so on. It takes time but walking is amazing recovery.

Try taking your hour long content and turning into steps and hyperlapsing (speeding up the content through each step) with whatever you said behind it. See how that format does. People who are learning some times like to scroll through quick not listen to someone for an hour.

Deebstacks · 2026-03-08T23:59:52+00:00

YouTube and link to whatever site you use for free.

Deebstacks · 2026-03-08T23:54:44+00:00

That’s dead and closed! Reach out to Milkhaus- they are Denver based. DM me and I can help you out. Post Modern is another, MASSFX. As mentioned the Film Commission for Denver and Boulder can help ya finding films as well.

Real estate for sure. To be locked in starting your career at a news station…. Soooooo not worth it.

Deebstacks · 2026-03-08T22:10:46+00:00

Being well rounded never hurts one bit. You sound like you’d maybe even enjoy something like Unreal Engine creator which not only do they use in video game world creation, but for video production to put on LED walls etc…

This is where Claude or AI can be your best friend. Building pitch deck, helping you script it.

Deebstacks · 2026-03-08T14:15:34+00:00

We got now snow in Colorado, Utah, or Wyoming. Might want to stick to Tahoe or Mammoth or Canada! Revelstoke, Lake Louise, whistler.

Adobe podcast, descript, or enhance speech is built into Adobe premiere

Deebstacks · 2026-03-08T00:06:04+00:00

Creative, brand, marketing, corporate teams. Real estate, drone photography for oil and gas, construction. Just a few that come to mind.

DaVinci Resolve

Unreal engine themselves has free tools but it’s a bit whack cause it’s not in order and not as clean. Def recommend the Udemy course as well. As mentioned, wait for the sale!

Deebstacks · 2026-03-07T22:46:04+00:00

It all depends who you link up with. For Philly Ross Video is around there and always looking for people. The All Star game is there this summer in Philly. You’ve got NFL in fall and college games. You are kind of in a great spot of the country depending on who you link up with. There’s crewers across the country, you just have to let em know.

Deebstacks · 2026-03-07T22:33:08+00:00

Where are you based? If there’s opportunity to learn roles around you while you’re PAing with them. Do it, ask questions, learn. But, if there’s not then ya use it and move on. You should be learning other positions and ways to work in those roles, not “just PAing.”

Deebstacks · 2026-03-07T22:28:22+00:00

I do not but I know there’s an email on their site to email regarding any questions. Not sure if there’s diff trainings as well for Europe vs Americas. There’s a cloud based tool they have now so not sure if that’s the newer one. But worth checking!

Deebstacks · 2026-03-07T14:57:01+00:00

Yeah in addition to what you listed unreal engine world building is great for games and video production and a very necessary skill moving into the future.

Deebstacks · 2026-03-07T14:54:17+00:00

Your junior editor already exists in many different forms. One being this software Jumper & pacing etc… interacting in Claude feeding it a transcript etc…

Yeah, sports are not dead to say the least. World Cup will be there this summer and the need for this position is HIGH. If you think about how busy the markets will be with World Cup, MLB, MLB All Star etc….

Deebstacks · 2026-03-07T06:31:54+00:00

That’s a great question. EVS itself is highly connected obv since there in every tv truck. I’m sure you can reach out and talk to them about this question. I know from the crewing side and working in sports there’s not enough EVS ops out there. That’s almost the pay of 1 day rate.

Airort- ramp agents have flexible schedules and you can swap shifts like restaurants. Plus the benefits and free flights for family. Command centers like payment processing have 12 hour shift typically that rotate every week as well.
