That stands to reason. Tiny machinery doesn't just assemble itself. I am currently being paid for podcast editing. Of course, compensation is sub-sensational ... and that's a rather deep understatement. The work is good though, when it's there. Yeah, I've long wondered whether I shouldn't try and get in that game, sound editing for film. I assume you have to know the secret password and have good ins to get a seat at the table, on top of skills/experience.
You need to know someone and you need to be packin' heat. I switched to 5.1 back in 2002 and started getting work just because I had 5.1 (and knew how to use it). Because surround delivery is a requirement for any distribution you might find, the lions' share of at-home indie dudes are assing themselves out automatically because they think stereo is adequate. It's not. I'm 4 1029s away from going Atmos. I might have to. It's going to be the delivery format of the future and nobody knows how to author it.
