"You don't understand," he said, with an idiot/innocent grin. "See, I really love music. I think it would be a blast to work on music videos."<br /><br />Uh, I was the one who didn't understand??? <br /><br />Unable to think of a polite reply to such profoundly clueless ignorance, I just shook my head and changed the subject. <br /><br />Every industry newbie should have the opportunity to work on music videos. Much like boot camp, the experience will provide them a useful measure with which to judge all future industry jobs.<br /><br />Glad you like the blog. Maybe our paths will cross down the road.Michael Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569781786039595929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078779326914378322.post-46921396750329145532011-11-08T09:35:23.670-08:002011-11-08T09:35:23.670-08:00This is the conversation more vets should have wit...This is the conversation more vets should have with newcomers. Yes, you need to be hungry but know what your limits are and be honest about them, with your BB,with your Key, with your Gaffer, with yourself. <br /><br />I know my cirrcumstance may be different, but anyone who's worked in this world knows what I'm talking about.(For newbies, work your first Music Video, big budget or not, and then you may understand.)I have to thank my friends at the local for turning me onto your site.<br /><br />Michael, thank you for your site, your kind words, and for the knowledge you share. Keep up the good work, maybe we'll run into eachother someday.CJnoreply@blogger.com
