I don't even think you've made a point, sir. You've criticized my work. You've criticized me, I guess. What is your point? Maybe you should be more explicit, instead of dancing around the issue like you're on an intellectual pedestal. How old are you, as a side note? This is certainly not the behavior I would expect from an adult, and would be much more fitting of, say, an eighteen year old. Who is kind of a shitty person. Anyway, is your point that I shouldn't charge clients because I am so terrible at operating? Is it that I should charge little money? Is it that I'm just not good at operating, and I should charge people a lot of money because they tell me I'm good? All you did was criticize the work I don't even really think is that good, even though I did shoot it on a whim, and other people think it's good, and then left it at that. Were you going to go somewhere with that... or were you just venting your frustrations over [insert typical emasculating insult here], or, [insert typical comment about the realization of being middle aged]?

The logic doesn't follow whatsoever. Other people say this work is good. Here is the work. That says nothing about what I think about the work. It is merely me giving you an example of the work other people have labeled as good. Are you going to continue this spearhead against me based on a misunderstanding of my intentions, or can you actually help me.

Thank you, middle aged adult, for completely disregarding the main thrust of the post and instead attempting to make fun of me based on the comments other people have told me about my work, and not what I think of my work myself.

Well, I've been operating a Glidecam X-10 for around 7 months, upgraded to a Steadicam Scout about a week ago, working on putting a 15mm cage around my camera so I can fly it on the Scout... I'm starting to get to the point where I can set my own price, and having never really done that before, I find it an awkward, nearly incomprehensible social situation that I am too young to fully understand. So... I'm coming to you guys. How much money should I charge for my time? I really have no idea, and I find the concept of applying a monetary value to my own work to be a very bizarre affair. I've been told I'm quite talented, for how long I've been operating. As an example: https://vimeo.com/64068038 that was shot on a whim while I was walking down a city street while filming a completely different video. So, care to help a 20 year old out? It would... help me.
