@Tom Evans Thanks Tom! Everyone can learn a lot just from compiling all those job postings. Can’t say I haven’t done that already but it’s good to get people’s personal opinions too.
@Tom Poole Keep doing you! The assistant/mentor relationship is actually one of my favorite things about post. I feel like you don’t really get that in other areas of filmmaking, but maybe thats just me. Also, this is probably a good quote to think about for people who hire-
“Don’t hire anyone you wouldn’t want to run into the hallway at three in the morning.” - Lorne Michaels
@Orash Rahnema It’s a great practice. It kindof reminds me of really traditional Italian shoemakers and their apprentices. If anything it seems the main deal is just to work hard and learn as much as you can so you’re ready when it’s time to move up.
@cameronrad If you have the eye for it you're already doing well! Also Resolve is free so you can learn the interface.
