Unlikely Parnerships
[by Gail Mooney]
Got a call a while back from a guy selling training seminars for NAB Post Production conferences. I have been a past attendee and the training they provide is top notch. I’ve never attended a poorly taught seminar – the instructors know their stuff and know how to teach it.
I mentioned to this guy that I give seminars for the ASMP to still photographers who are contemplating adding video to their skill set and that I always link to his company, Future Media Concepts in my resources PDF. He asked if I’d send him that link to Future Media Concepts and I did. The next day I got an email from him with links to a band’s “original” music, knowing that I frequently license music as a part of my role as a video producer. But the interesting part of his email was a query about doing a motion “photo essay”. Quite interesting and we plan to talk.
Not sure what will come out of this but the point is we were both open to possibilities and unlikely partnerships. That’s a good thing and to my experience has always turned into a win/win. Be open to all kinds of possibilities and take notice when they present themselves.
