I'm tired of hearing "nobody cares about quality." It's an excuse for lazy photographers to make themselves feel better about doing "good enough." It's an excuse to lower the bar.
What do you do in a daily effort to make your place in our business worthwhile? I'm not just talking shooting tricks (though they help). This is a chance to toss out ideas others might not have thought about. I'm not interested in hearing why you think viewers don't notice quality. Start your own thread. This is not the place.
Sometimes, I'm editing a package using someone else's video. I'll look for the steady shots, I'll try to find nat-sound opportunities. You name it. I treat the video as my own. I'm not interested in making someone else look bad.
If I'm out at a liveshot, I'll do what I can to make it worthwhile. Of course, there's shots that will have pretty much no way to be "interactive." In my opinion, "dog licks" are your opportunity to surprise a few people back at the shop.
