For those of you that hire video producers, how do you go about selecting who you work with?
Since I'm coming from a career as an audio and video engineer into the startup world, this would seem like an obvious area to do some freelancing, but it also seems like a chicken and egg problem with finding work and having demos/references.
A portfolio is a great first step. Doesn't have to be many projects. Just a few really impressive ones.
The good news is there are plenty of startups in need of videos. Offer to do a couple on the cheap to start your portfolio. Then start charging market rates.
