I don't get a chance to use much of the knowledge that I've learned because it's just a terrible waste of time...since clients don't care about the quality of their footage. Any video, no matter how good the cameraman... can benefit greatly from even the most basic correction. Stuff like adjusting the color, contrast and brightness takes only minutes and can have a significant impact on the quality. But I think the mind set for most companies is: "If the member isn't complaining - don't worry about it"

It's a shame that more companies don't take pride in their products and try to set a standard for quality. Instead, it's more about turning a quick buck.
