Videographer/editor with own gear

Date: 2012-05-25, 4:46PM PDT

There seem to be a lot of people searching CL with wrong impressions about Videographers/editors with their own gear.

A videographer operates a camera. He does not have to own one. If he does, he should not be expected to bring it to your project for free.

The same goes for an editor - He edits - And is not required to have his own setup. If he does, don't expect it for free.

Whatever the case. To operate is one thing, to be an owner/operator means you pay for the skill and the gear. Neither one is free.

Just because I own it, it does not mean you get it for nothing.

Either way, you are producing something that requires both skill and gear and as such you will be expected to pay for both.
