I guess I was just trying to get the idea that the money + time + resources + other people is the main factor of why television shows and movies are so good (production quality, and some content). If I took the time to actually set up a studio/lighting/microphones and didn't have to hold the camera myself etc..i might be able to make a closer-to-professional quality video. But i also know that I have a paper to write later that night so spending a day on making a video is not the best use of my time (especially when I don't get paid for it)
I do know some things about lighting, audio, editing, and visual storytelling, but there is much for me to still learn. I will never be able to produce the content that is up the the standards of Hollywood" because i do not have the time, money, contacts. However, I am trying to learn more, maybe get FCP certification, take a documentary production class...somewhere down the line.
I do what I can with what I have, and that is the most i can ask from myself.
and though I might agree with you that I made a bit of a tall claim, I think that these "professionals" are skilled in areas and work together to create a final product. There may be some who could jump in and produce amazing content right off the bat, but I think that a specialist in lighting may have a hard time getting used to being in front of the camera...not saying that they would never be skilled at it, but vloggers wear many hats (talent, director, editor, audio, lighting, maybe even writing) and putting on those hats isn't always easy.
just some additional thoughts....no real argument here...

That's a very tall claim, and insulting to the professionals who give us beautiful things to watch. There are a lot of people out there who know a lot more about visual storytelling, camera angles, lighting, etc. than I do. Professional equipment is only part of the story. I'm sure that Ken Burns could take the footage of my interview with my dad and make something a lot more compelling out of it (not to mention that he would have gotten a better interview to begin with), even using the same lousy camera and cheap editing software that I did.
That doesn't bother me - if anything, it gives me something to strive for, and I'm enjoying learning. But I don't kid myself that I will ever get or even deserve a Ken Burns type of audience.
