I found this pretty funny video on YouTube. It's a look at a TV news photographer forced to be an editor. The results aren't good for this guy:
This is for anyone who works in TV NEWS. Steve is a news photog who was hurt while skiing. He was stuck being the in house editor for months on end. As Steve slowly lost his sanity, I thought what a great opportunity to document his melt down. Soon the epic EDIT BOY was born. This video demonstrates why no one should ever consider tv news as a career!!!WARNING, if you are easily offended or at work, you might not want to watch this clip.
I worked as an editor early in my career and I agree it can be stressful and thankless.
As someone who knows his way around a TV building, I liked looking at all of the old equipment in this station. They used deck to deck linear beta editing and I thought I spotted a 1 inch in the background. Clearly this was taped a while ago. That's obvious by the opening graphics too!
