Couple is the client, not our colleagues. It’s a tough pill to swallow sometimes, especially with imposter syndrome, but it’s so real

I agree. Clients are booking professionals for a service provided, not friends. Unfortunately, many prominent videographers and photographers on this platform pushing their online course enforce the idea of being your clients friend right off the bat asking them all kinds of personal questions by first email, phone call, consultation etc. Cringe AF.

For some reasons I've experienced a whole lot of difference from this topic. Most of my happy clients are now introducing me into their circles (Personal & professional). Humanity beyond clientele

Great tips! Still trying to figure it out. Thanks!

Glad you found it helpful!

Solid advice 🙏

Great video and advice 😊

I wouldn't second, I would assist. I feel assisting gives you a very unique vantage point that comes in handy down the road. And good point on renting, adding to your point, I buy used out of Japan. Outside of two pieces, all my gear was picked up used. ✨ And I gotta personally disagree on the impressing your couple point, I actually took the "impress myself and the right client will show up" concept as part of my rebranding. While it's super niched down, the two clients I do book appreciative that someone out there is just like them. But yeah man, I feel ya, for decades I created work to impress photographers, editors, magazines, the Instagram algorithm, etc., but not myself. While the work was good, it felt fake, as most of the wedding industry is. And sadly because of it, I now have a long standing resentment towards the wedding industry. But as Sinatra once said, I'm gonna do things my way now.

Hey there! I love your work. I recently bought an FX30..I'm curious when your in slog 3..how do you expose for skin tones? I see so many different opinions on zebra settings...70..or slog clipping point...just curious how you expose...I've been using false color and over exposing slog around 1.7 to 2 stops but still not really happy

I love your work! that was great tips!

Thanks so much! Yeah that’s real super 8 film :) love the look it provides!

tip number 1 . put in contract you get a real meal at the reception. Booya.

Pocket 4k $1,200 then you also get a free version of DaVinci Resolve studio. Plus you learn manual focus really well lol. I am all about the pocket 4k fx3 or 30 combo. Great video. Wish i watched this 4 years ago lol.

Loved all of this! Would you mind telling me what aspect ratio you use for the black bars of your wedding films?

I use the 2:35 bars and thanks so much for watching and the kind words 💪 appreciate you

Thanks man! Love your videos they've been really helpful as I've learned videography. Serious question though, how the heck do you find second shooter jobs? What's been successful for you? "Cold call" emails? It's something I'm struggling with right now. :)

Great question! Second Society is an incredible platform that can help you find jobs. Facebook groups, cold calling sometimes works but not often, most times ppl want to see reputable work before they consider hiring. And if you’re just getting start it may be beneficial to offer assistance for cheaper rates to build up your portfolio.
