This is fantastic. It's been a promise for a long time that computers would become ubiquitous, open source software would be able to allow people to do (semi-)professional looking things for free, having access to the internet would be a great enabler, etc.

This is just proof that it's happening! It's genuinely inspiring to see this.

Semi-professional? So, only being paid for some projects and not others? Being a “professional” is not a skill, but an employment status.

I argue that many amateur productions exceed the quality of professionally made productions.

Are you arguing against the term "(semi) professional looking"? Because that last word clarifies what they meant.
