I've done both...dude if you can't figure this out there's nothing I can do to explain it to you.
I'm talking about the influx of kids coming on GFY and calling themselves designers and selling galleries..tgps etc for half or a 1/3 of what others are.
Want to shoot content...you need a camera. $600+ , models depending upon what you want them to do and their going rate.... $75-$800.
Ads to find models...and believe me I'm in Vegas it's not that easy...or you pay a guy to referr models to you...$50 a pop...been there and it was the easiest thing to do.
LIghts...video tapes...batteries...if you're not shooting in your house then you have to pay for some sort of location..could be a motel...etc.
So add that up..the cost of getting into that biz while no where near the cost of starting most would be out of reach for most of these newbies..kids...whatever.
If they have a computer and have banged out some sites or some galleries and have a copy of photoshop they are ready to call themselves a designer...and it's done a lot on here.
