In video production, yeah. But if you get into compositing with AE (think, comedy central, VH1, car comercials, etc...) you will find it can be pretty similar in the sense that's it's all about visuals flow, message, synch, and all the other good stuff we love to talk about here.

Do you do any of that now?

If you count School TV Station Lead Editor, then yes.

Very good point.

I don't do it for a living, although I have shot, directed, edited and starred in films seen at small local indie film festivals and viewing parties. It's fun, and theres nothing I'd rather do to pass time.

Heh, It's no surprise that my favorite cartoon is Home Movies !

I'm going to major in video arts. So I'm looking to do some type of editing. If I'm lucky enough I know five local bands around here. Hopefully one of them gets there contract deal and can make me there editor once I get my degree. It's somewhat wishful thinking, but I am looking to do something along the lines of video editing.

I'm majoring in Multimedia, which is pretty much editing. Aiming for the gaming or movie industries, but I'll be getting payed to edit soon enough !

It's always good to know a few local bands. I got myself started making music videos and sk8ter footage for bands and groups. As much as I dislike skateboarding, it gets your name across. Good Luck with that

When I made my first AMV (2002), that was when I decided to make film my career.

My girlfriend and I started our own production business this January, and now its my full time job. (real business license)

We do corporate videos and sadly, weddings lol. I really don't like weddings, but they're easy and good money. I really just want to save enough money to move up to LA to make my way into film.

I had my own part time video production company... did some media conversions, trailers, wedding and corporate video myself. Yea, I didn't like the wedding part much.

But as a Mechanical Engineer, the pay was not nearly as good and the hobby started to have more of a job feel to it... It would be great to spend as much time on that stuff as I do on AMVs, but no one would be willing to spend that kind of money
