Hey everyone how is 2025 going for you? I’m in NYC and had a very dead summer. I was hoping this year would be leaps and bounds better than 2024 but things are not as improved as I’d hoped.

Summer was pretty dead for me too but fall is picking up (albeit with repeat clients)

Summer had been pretty uneventful, but it seems for me, particularly where I am, there's more opportunities opening up for Autumn.

I'm hoping to land something good, had gone through an internship and did a course to touch up my Graphic Design skills this year, so yeah, just hoping that I'll get a good role before the end of this year.

I got an email for a gig that paid $25-$50 an hour. But with my experience, I asked for $75, settling for $65. Still waiting to hear back. I have agency experience and worked with some big names. But it seems like many of us have been pushed to settle for more low-hanging fruit.

Just here to say I’m so thankful we have this safe space.

With all the negativity in the world, this bowl is that one ray of sunshine I so desperately need, so thank you everyone for what you have done and what you’ll continue to do!

Additional Posts in Video Editors

I work at a post-house and made a spec spot using a bunch of footage that was provided to us by a client (direct to brand relationship, not via an agency). Clients haven’t seen....

Website question: is it bad to have a few spots that are over five years old? I keep them down at the bottom and the majority are much newer so they sort of serve as a ‘best of’ my older work.

Does anyone include a bit on invoices like "Accounts not paid within terms are subject to a .75% monthly (9% annual) finance charge" or something like that?

Tangentially, has anyone had an invoice with 30-day terms kicked back for revisions because the client's terms are longer, or do they just ignore what you've stipulated?

What’s everyone working on these days? Anything fun?

What’s the highest day rate you’ve heard of an editor charging? I just found out what somebody is charging and it made my jaw drop.
