I’m a camera operator. The issue is that last year there was some very intense strikes with the writers then with the actors unions which basically killed the entire industry for the whole year. Add to that the fact that our whole industry has been uplifted and redesigned by Netflix and Disney and the way streaming platforms work means that there is no work for anyone. I’m friend with people that usually work on major TV shows and movies all year long and they haven’t been on set for the last 6 months. So right now, no one is working. I tried to look for work in other sectors but all my experience has been in the audiovisual and film industry so it’s hard.

Yeah I can imagine. You might look into doing some legal videography (legal depositions). You don’t have to be licensed if you work under someone who is (this may vary in your area). If you have camera experience professionally, you’re already more than qualified. You can do a search in your area for that service and just apply directly to them for that position. It’s typically hourly, but it pays well. I did it out of college, and it was easy money for what is pretty much a fade in, sit for two hours, fade out.
