SmartShoot has over 10,000 freelance videographers and photographers in their database. But we are not united in any way. Therefore, they can take advantage of the fact that there is a lot of competition for work by paying ridiculously low prices for professional video production. The $200 for Yelp videos is barely worth it, but now GOING EVEN LOWER with a new contract with YouTube to make 30 second local commercials for $150! This is an insult and disgrace for these huge corporations, especially YouTube to pay such a low wage for finished, professional work. Stand with me to demand at least the same sum of $200 per video with the new YouTube contract. Please sign and DO NOT sign up for the new YouTube service as a filmmaker until they raise the compensation.
