Well you guys should be glad to know I quit the business.

Thanks to the people who actually have some respect on here. For my experience, well you have to start somewhere don't you??? I never said I'm doing a multi-million dollar film shoot. It's a pretty small show I just did. And to show you that everyone likes my work, they want me for a show for July and August. Now why would they want me again if I did a crappy job? C'mon now.

Wow he certainly doesn't even belong on this forum. He has no idea of my past experience. I am trained, so I don't see how in hell I'm "faking" the job. If any moderators read this, please have this person banned or something. Thank you.

I agree, but to have him saying that he wouldn't pay me a dime for what I do is very dis-respectful.

You are very dis-respectful. I job-shadowed to learn everything that I had to to. I also have a trained technician with me for a week at the start. I've caught onto this job very quickly and have been doing fine. I don't know what your problem is.

Hi everyone. I'm new to the television production scene. I'm on my first job now as a Camera Technician running the VTR's, doing color correction for the cameras, and controlling IRIS, etc with a NTSC system. The show I'm working on is running 2 main cameras and a pencil cam. I'm working at least 12 hours each day. This being my first job, I had an experienced technician with me to show me all the ropes, and I know everything now about running everything. Troubleshooting and so on will come with experience. Anyways, I thought I would give some background and now to get to my point.. What is an average wage per day for this type of job? I know location is a factor, but just thought I would get an idea of what others are getting paid. I will be doing another show in summer and I am wondering if I should try to charge a little more. Thanks.

Hi. I'm new at the NTSC recording system and I am learning as I go along. I'm working as a Camera Technician. I was wondering if anyone has a diagram of how all the equipment used for NTSC is linked and hooked up. Examples of the equipment are Sync generator, DA's, scopes, monitors, VTR's, CCU's, etc. This is the next thing I would like to master. Thanks.

Hi everyone. I just joined the forum, and I'm also new at television production. I'm working as a Camera Technician here in Canada. We're using a NTSC system here. Is there a place here in the forums for NTSC?
