What's your day job?

i produce/edit EPK/DVD/BLU-RAY content for... well... lately, m. night shyamalan is my day job. and it's starting to look as though it will be for another year.
 
Professional pizza delivery man....slowly trying to get my video side business off the ground....student loans are creeping up...
 
I'm a Techical Director for an ABC affliate in Waco, Texas (KXXV/KRHD)...I direct the morning shift. And in a band on my spare time...well Rock Band that is...so I jam out in my undies on the PS3. I rock under the alias Gavin_Xzar Lead Guitarist!

anyways...back to work
 
Full time freelance DP and editor for my own company. Working on developing a new television series, but doing a lot of commercial work, and when business is slow, a few weddings. Mainly trying to focus on music videos and film... stuff with strong narrative content.
 
I work with Dustin on the morning shift at an ABC affiliate. I'm a video editor. It's just a temporary job while my fiancee goes to grad school. Then the two of us are going to start a theater company. It's cool to hear what everyone here does. Like working with M. Night. Which is insane.
 
Just got done with 15 years of doing hardwood floors. Lookin for work now, but hopefully no more stress on the back. I'm hoping video goes from hobby to income.
 
English teacher, garden design and installation, and a baker. Sometimes I actually make a few bucks writing as well. Very few, but counts, right?

College teacher: mainly business, also spent a few years teaching film making, video & audio courses. The pic is me & my son in 1985, Oregon coast when I played in a rock band! :) He now directs commericals and narratives.
 
23 years as a loading dock forklift operator. (it is nice have insurance, 401k and retirement etc), part time union stagehand, part time photographer and now a no budget filmmaker!!
 
It's interesting to see what everyone does. I'm a freelancer out of Plano, TX. I do mostly editing but run camera quite often.
 
funny to see how many people here dont do THIS for a living... it never dawned on me that anyone here would do anything else?
 
currently i'm teaching english in Japan to pay the bills. Also do event photography/design work etc on the side. Have been in Japan for almost 3 years but heading home to Canada in August. Who knows what will happen from then...

Hopefully something in film.
 
Coast Guard Officer, commanding a Patrol Boat in Southern Texas. I've already had one fully scheduled, funded location shoot in West Texas scrapped because of a last second deployment!
 
Im a freelance camera op/steadicam op. Im hoping to get into the steadicam more than the camera operating with time, id like to be a full time steadicam operator.

I also run an online web business, and im a licenced pyrotechnican and I blow stuff up for massive firework displays /tv/fun.

Hey Hoarp,

Your post gave me an opportunity to ask a question that I've often had but have never asked. Every now and then I see members who decide to not identify where they are located. In your post above you say that you are doing freelance and apparently would like to do more steadicam work and yet you don't state where you are. How come? If you're in L.A. we would put you on our list and give you a shot when we have a paying gig that would justify trying you out. Similarly, I'm sure there are other users who would consider sending you work if you are in their neck of the woods. What's the deal with you guys who decide you don't want anyone to know what city you live in? Just curious, and I'm sure there's a good reason (stalkers?) but I can't figure out what it is.

Speaking of which, I've got a paying job for someone with an HVX who can shoot footage for us just south of Jacksonville, Florida. It's a pretty simple shoot and I'll be sending out a notice to users I know with Florida identifiers in their avatars as well as posting on the jobs thread. It made me think of several occasions when we've given out gigs to users simply because we saw their city or region on a post or on their avatar.
