I graduated from uni last year and have just been working as a musician since. Haven't really done any editing etc at all in the past 4 years. Too bad that the community here seems to have died. Could've used a little fun project on the side.
What instrument do you play, or do you compose/produce?
If you do your own thing with music, having a video background can be very helpful. You could essentially make your own music videos and make a complete experience joining both fields yourself.
As far as community goes: yeah its pretty dead. Even public servers are disappearing slowly - no more BiO or efter :S. On the up side Warwitch is casting a RTCW 3on3 cup with a few oldschoolers - http://www.rtcwcup.com/teams-crossfire.htm
Guitar. Don't really do much of my own stuff. Playing for other people and at weddings, as well as teaching pays better! :P
Yeah, would be great to be able to use some of the video editing skills to do some music videos for friends etc. Shame I don't have a high quality camera! Haha.
I just went on IRC today for the first time in about 3 years and #crossfire has about 1/4 of the number of users they used to have. Seems like so much of online gaming has shifted from the PC to consoles.
Its getting cheaper. Depends on what you want, but you can start with a few thousand euros. You can do pretty high end stuff with a DSLR/mirrorless camera (Canon 5d mk2 really opened the market here). No need for bazookas anymore :P
I got a Panasonic GH2 a few years ago for about 1k, and another 1k for a few lenses, and some more for a tripod and other little things (batteries, memory etc). Then i got a bunch of other stuff a bit later when I actually started making money with it :)
And the quality is more than enough for any current media outlet (well maybe except for the big cinema walls).
thx a lot
take a look here and hf

Best fragmovie of all times
The rtcw guys have been making the nicest highlight clips by a long way. Most of the ET stuff posted recently has been rushed/fast turn over projects.
