How many jobs were lost to create 2 jobs? The cameraman? The union goes who do lighting, sound, etc.? The support staff for the on-site crew?

I just saw an ad for a "contactless remote video broadcast studio". It's like an RC cart with a pro camera and teleprompter. Someone comes in a van and drops it at your front door, and then it gets remotely driven around your house until they find the filming spot. Then the director controls it remotely while directing you.
So we have the "camera delivery driver" and "cart maintenance" jobs that were created. That business will also need vans to drive the equipment around. And the director gets to keep their job and so does the actor.
There will for sure be a lot of short term pain as people adjust to the new reality, but the jobs will shift and people will come up with new ideas. The existing diversity of our economy will help a lot.
