(Abstract from Industry Outlook) |
|
|
|
Motion Picture & Video Industries |
|
|
Keen competition is expected for the more glamorous jobs-writers, actors, producers, and directors; other workers-multimedia artists and animators, and film and video editors, among others-should enjoy better job prospects. |
|
|
Although many films are shot on location throughout the United States and abroad, employment is centered in several major cities, particularly New York and Los Angeles. |
|
|
Many workers have formal training, but experience, talent, creativity, and professionalism are the factors that are most important in getting many jobs in this industry. |
