Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted August 27, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted August 27, 2007 If you ask such questions and worry about making a living on cinematography; perhaps it isn't the right job for you. check out this discussion, on an older thread, it'll give you a good idea of what it's like. It's a lifestyle, more so, IMHO, than a career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now my profession is cinematography.. i am depending entirely on it for my living.. so do i need to make income thru some other means also?(like having a business) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted August 27, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted August 27, 2007 I think it depends a lot on how much you make from shooting. I most definitely do not make enough therefrom, so I have a normal, and very understanding day job as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can i work in some other dept in the film industry where i can get gud pay initially... n then doin my dream job(dop) one day when i am safe? For e.g. i am planning to learn Discreet Smoke software which is been used for vfx n work as a 'smoke artist' n then one day change to my dream job?
