(From The Avid Yahoo User's Group -- By Bob Zelin)
Page 10 of the November 2006 edition of VIDEOGRAPHY MAGAZINE shows a female reporter pointing a P2 camera
at herself.
This is NY1 NEWS attempt to use the P2 camera in the field without a crew.
No audio guy, no camera guy, (and 3 months from now)
no editor. The reporter will edit themselves.
You laugh, but your clients daughter's high school class will be editing your next show -- for FREE.
Repent. The end is near.
[That is, until you ask you client's daughter what format and frame rate she's working in. Editors will still have place and job for some time.]

The software and hardware are getting cheaper and better every year. The "job" resembles IT outsourcing more than broadcast engineering. Kids submitting home videos on YouTube are getting movie deals in Hollywood.
Yeah, true professionals will always have a place to work, but cheap software and hardware will marginalize a lot of the product out there. The future?
The live control room will be two IT nerds on PC's and the studio will be a green closet. The Edit Suite? It may be a 17 year old on his PC at home with a good hi-bandwidth connection.......in India.
