My 2¢:
If you want to make things that have either audio and/or visual components, and you want these things to be good and quality and professional looking, and if you want the process of creating said audio/visual things to be fun and creative and lively and successful, then for the LOVE of GOD treat your crew right.
And if you don’t have a crew, then get one. Nothing you do will be as good as it would be if you bring in a crew. And nothing will be more fun and rewarding than being on a set – no matter how small – and creating something with a crew of people who like you and (for the most part) trust you. But this will only happen if you respect them and put their happiness on a high position of importance on your importance flowchart.
