Jon,

I've known you on this forum for a while. With all due respect, I consider the words "unpaid" and "job" to be mutually exclusive. Why bother to put yourself through all of this for no pay?

Regards,

Ty Ford

It was the 48 Hour Film Project, so "job" was the wrong word. For me it's a serious hobby, in that I put money into buying stuff.

This is really an investment into my kids. Nathan, 22 and about to complete a business degree, was the director/editor. Michael, 17, was the boom op, mixed the dialog, and had his first experience in sound design. (He's caught be bug, now recording odds and ends to build up a library.) My daughter, 19, was one of the actors.

Providing this experience could help them launch careers in the industry. That's my pay. :) Nathan has already done a small number of paying jobs.

Me? I've got a good career.

BTW, here's the result. (Keep in mind that, aside from me, nobody on the crew was over 23 years old, and none are doing this professionally.)

Great result.... a fun watch.
