Seven years ago, when I was just starting to build a career in film, there were basically three venues for video: movies, TV, and select audience stuff (in-store promotions, EPKs, etc). There was less work to go around. Now, because of YouTube and sites like it, the jobs have quadrupled, at least. Maybe the pay is a little less than what it could be but there are so many more opportunities. So much of my income the past few years has come from YouTube and online videos. And because of those jobs, I get bigger work, too. So the idea that the old way is right and the YouTube or online way is wrong is just pure bullshit. It’s total bullshit. Have you even gone to the movies lately? No, because it makes you feel like a jerk for paying $12, $14 for a crappy experience. The Internet isn’t doing it wrong; Hollywood is.
