Outsourced AI Video Production
The story
After paying to learn AI video production, the author began accepting client work. Conversations in a job group and with the instructor revealed that the author's orders had passed through several subcontracting layers. The author handled final delivery while upstream parties took margins.
The author also encountered changing requirements, repeated revisions to simple shots and low-price competition. Similar tools and output offered limited bargaining power. Fees, training costs and rework hours were unquantified.
The experience prompted reflection on customer relationships, trust and acquisition channels as influences on pricing. The author considered connecting businesses seeking modernization with technical providers in future. This intermediary business remained an idea.
