Less than ten years ago, people in video production would specialize in one position and that would be the sole job for the most part. For example, a person might be a editor and that would be all they do. However, now that the economy is in such a poor position and the fact that video equipment have become much more simple than it used to be. People who are now looking into working in the field of video production need to be able to operate all pieces of equipment and read to do it all. This is great for those who want to produce video because they won’t need to pay so many people because you could produce a video with only a handful of people. It is not uncommon for someone to serve as Camera operator and editor and possible some other position as well. Also, the on-air talent no longer can just be on-air talent, they  should be able to at the very least produce and or write. This tread will become a common practice in all video productions because it is not only more efficient but, will also cost much less to produce.
