Announcing the Crew Network: An Opportunity for Videographers in an Evolving Industry

Let's be honest, the video production world has been through the wringer lately. Between those tough labor disputes a while back and the way AI seems to be changing everything overnight, it can be hard for even the most talented crews to find steady, fulfilling work.

That's where Goodsides steps in with our brand-new, nationwide Crew Network. Think of it as a lifeline for videographers and an awesome resource for buyers.

"We've seen how these industry shifts wear on good people," says Goodsides CEO, Louis Easton.

"Our Crew Network is about letting talented pros get back to what they love – the actual creative work – and ditching the endless hustle for gigs. Plus, buyers get access to an incredible pool of talent from all over the country – it's a win-win."

So, What's Driving All This Change?

To understand why the Crew Network is such a big deal right now, let's face it... the whole industry is in flux.

Remember those SAG-AFTRA strikes in 2023? That was a wake-up call for a lot of crews.

Then there's the rise of AI tools – sure, they're powerful, but it means learning new skills and figuring out where you fit in the changing workflow.

Here's the good news: even with all this change, people still crave video content. Like, a LOT of it. We're talking hours and hours every week spent watching stuff online – way more time than traditional TV gets these days!

Plus, with streaming services being all the rage, there's a huge appetite for fresh, original videos that stand out. And let's not forget – most of us watch those videos on our phones, so your work needs to look awesome on a small screen.

The Goodsides Solution: Your Crew, Your Way

The Goodsides Crew Network is designed to be a game-changer in this wild landscape. Think of it as a way for talented videographers to focus on their best work, without the endless worry of finding that next project.

As you can see, we've done the legwork of finding and vetting skilled people, so buyers get a super reliable pool of professionals to choose from – nationwide!

It's flexible, saves time, and (we hope) saves everyone some headaches.

We're truly excited about shaping the future of this industry, and that means being there for the people who make the magic happen.
