I know Final Cut, Premiere,  After<br /> Effects and Photoshop, and spent about 2k this year taking an AVID course and<br /> getting an AVID technical certification. I have a subscription to<br /> Media-match.com and get job alerts sent to my email. I’ve been applying to<br /> about 15 online jobs a week but I never get any responses. Lately I have been<br /> calling post-houses off LA411.com and  cold calling for basic internships in order to<br /> learn a little more and just get my foot in so I can start on the ground floor<br /> of a company and grow with the position.  I have offered to work for free for a trial<br /> period at all the places I’ve called…After about 2 months, I’ve had one<br /> interview but no call back, and most of the people I talk to seem to just be either<br /> incredibly flaky, or just giving me the run around.  I also have a demo reel.... <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/17581129">http://www.vimeo.com/17581129</a>, but<br /> after all the positions I’ve applied to it only has 8 views?</p> <p>Is there something I am doing wrong or missing?</p> <p>How am I supposed to break into this industry if I don’t<br /> know anybody and nobody will take a chance on me?</p> <p>Thank you for any help you can provide.</p> <p>-Jesse</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/looking-for-a-job-in-television-tvjobscom#post-57469 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 11:36:30 +0000 Derek Sine 57469@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p><a href="http://tvjobs.com/">TVjobs.com</a> is well known among broadcasters for employment in the industry.

You would need to edit them and send them back to me on a dvd and the same card. </p> <p>My format is AVCHD. You will need the latest version software that supports AVCHD<br /> ( cs4, vegas 9, pinnacle 12 etc) </p> <p>Please reply with your hardware / software setup, rate and if possible links to your work. </p> <p>Thanks<br /> Abhra<br /> <a href="mailto:abhram@gmail.com">abhram@gmail.com</a> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/legally-music-whats-the-answer#post-43437 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 10:25:14 +0000 chrisColorado 43437@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I work for a non-profit, so we figured we are free to use copyrighted music in our Fire safety puppet shows (educational use, etc.).</p> <p>Now, I'm making a highlight video to both thank last year's sponsors, and rope in new ones for this year. The music in the shows (which means it's in the video too) include "Bye, Bye, Bye" by N'Sync(?) and "Who Let the Dogs Out?"</p> <p>QUESTION: Can I use this highlight video as a demo reel for future jobs?</p> <p>NOTE: I'll be studying this on my own too.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/become-a-travel-videographer-and-film-holidays-and-resorts#post-36112 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 03:38:31 +0000 FilmingHolidays 36112@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am in the process of building a network of people creating videos for the tourism industry, so they can finance their passion for film and travel. I'm also hoping as more people do this it will eventually become the standard for tourism companies in the same way websites have become the norm, and that means income for people like us, who love travel and film. </p> <p>That's why I wrote a manual so people can become familiar with tourism marketing and producing effective promotional holiday videos that sell more holidays, and all of the elements and the structure of promo videos.</p> <p>After reading the manual you may then want to create a couple of videos using local operators and accommodations and once you have a couple of sample videos and a showreel for tourism we may then list you on our database for tourism companies and will endeavor to send some work your way or you can start contacting tourism companies yourself  as I have also included a section on how to sell to companies and a list of contacts for interested companies.</p> <p>Please have a look at <a href="http://www.filmingholidays.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.filmingholidays.com</a> for more information and let me know what your thoughts are.</p> <p>thanks</p> <p>tom</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/video-editing-job-in-a-media-companyhow#post-35644 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 15:25:46 +0000 videoz 35644@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi There,  I am looking for advice from other Video Editiors who have been hired by media companies etc. and worked from home and how you went about landing the job.  </p> <p> I studied Film in University including Cinematography/Lighting, Film Editing, Sound Editing- (cutting/splicing).  I currently use a Mac:imovie and Cubase.  What software do I need to know?
