Re: How did you start out your editing career?
by grinner hester (grinner) on Jun 18, 2008 at 7:03:11 pm

The most common way to get started is to do it for free.
or very little.
My first paying tv job was running prompter at a local news station for 3.35 an hour. My big break paid a whopping 18k per year but at 80 hours a week, that was quite a step down from that sweet 3.35 I was making the year before. It held more responsibilities though and my business card said editor on it. Sweet. I was learning more getting exploited there than I was learning in school paying hard-earned money for it.
Build a cool reel with that gear you have experience on, market it around and take what is offered. Smile alot too.
