Build a talent roster of freelance video production crew members (camera operators, editors, PAs, coordinators) that scales up for shoots and compresses back down — mirroring Michelle Khare's 'slinky org chart' of 7 full-timers expanding to 50 for a shoot. Earn placement fees or a percentage of crew day rates. This model suits the growing creator economy where independent productions need burst staffing without long-term overhead.
