Just Think About It. It Won't Take Long.

Why is it, people tends to stereotype us, foundation students as being unprofessional and unproductive ? What makes people think that we are something small and not of that standard of professionals. I feel hurt and irritated by the fact that we foundation students, especially UMP have been underrated by almost everyone, even people in our own course, our own class, our own group of students. They have not been taking UMP seriously. We certainly shut them up with the Montage for the SOC Media Carnival. To be honest, we welcome competition, healthy competition from those who do not feel we are good enough to be credited. I certainly felt stunned at being undervalued, underestimated, by these people. We, UMP are professionals and we work like one. The job we do, is certainly no joke. Treat us like professionals as we are skilled, qualified and proficient in anything we do. As for me, i personally think that a job is no charity, we deserve the value for every thing that we do. You have to think that the stuffs we do, require a lot of consideration. The cost of our production is more than what you think it is. Don't treat us like kids. We are professionals, and we have our own worth.

To put into consideration, think and reflect on this. We have to fork out our own money to pay for these:-

1. Time Cost
2. Design Cost, Creativity Cost
3. Software (Original Software)
4. Electricity
5. Management Fees (Petrol, Posts, etc.)
6. Video Editing Fees (Effects, Colour Control, Subtitles, Mixing, Cutting, etc.)

You tell me now, if you were in our shoes, will you ask money to do all this work ? If your answer is no, maybe you are not a professional, so, do not match yourselves with us, Unpredictable Media Productions. I am a photographer and in that area, even an unknown and amateur photographer could earn at least RM500 per event. What I am asking now is for some respect given to us, and never underestimate us.

Lets say our cost is RM800, and we take no profit from it. Will people pay for it ? Most of it won't pay because we are just foundation students. A lot of people do not realize that we count in all those costs. They would just think that, we deserve the pay for only electricity and the management fees. That is why you people are ignorant that we need to be rewarded for our hard work. Business is business, personal or friends remain that way. Even though you are our friend, we will still charge you according to what we charge to every other customers. Business and personal don't mix.

So, buckle up and be more mature in dealing with us and we will provide you with the best. That's a promise.

A thought from my heart, " the greatest inventions in life is jealousy and the ability to dishonour another individual".
