The intro reminds me that having a REEL is also really important in order to showcase your work to potential clients with just one short video. Thank you for the amazing video! I felt really inspired!
@@BlakeDavis42 I know this industry. It's not like you come off the street and start working. Success will be achieved by a percentage of those who will start this business.
Good points. One thing that came to my mind in terms of wedding videography is this: it's a sinkhole. When you're starting out, do a few weddings and realize that you're making good money, often much more than your friends, it's hard to stop. You start to rely on these weddings, because you didn't have time or, frankly, feel like branching out. Out of nowhere comes burn out, because these things are just so repetitive and out of the sudden you find yourself grinding these things non stop, desperately looking for some other form of video-centric employment. But nobody really wants to hire the "wedding" guy for a serious project... Not saying this is the standard, not saying everyone ends up like this, but I've seen a few of my friends struggle... So just beware and stay creative ;)
omg i`m bouncing between to buy the sony a6100 or the dji mini 2. I`m making shortfilms with my friends and sometimes stop motion and some other stuff with my iphone 11. should i buy a camera and then a drone or the drone first. Is the dji mini 2 actually worth it.
Just start shooting, do it as a hobby rather then expecting big payoffs, and eventually, by practicing it that way you can start earning, here and there. That's what i do! My videos are by far not this level of quality, but each one i make is better then the previous, and i already got a few gigs!
I focus on WHY not HOW . I started for my mental health I’ve always enjoyed photography and dabbled in video but now I have my son’s preloved iPhone SE .. I’m loving learning. If it I start stressing I stop .. then I’ll be out and think ooo that would make good content- all the best to you 🙋♀️
Excellent Video Jake and Parker. I'm in the group since 2017 and it's an excellent community. Thanks Parker and the team for all the help and knowledge.
this video is also about making money by selling online courses, another great way... there is one thing that some in the freelance is loosing gradually... passion...
@@fulltimefilmmaker in my experience, wedding clients are so much nicer than real estate agents haha. The work isn’t hard in real estate, but the agents I was working for were unbearable.
I've shot hundreds of real estate videos.. it is pretty low stress if you set up the right environment for yourself (aka, sellers, gtfo lol). But in general, the real estate industry is high stress for sure.
My first client ever… $25 grad shoot… Second client the next year $70 grand shoot… Third client $70 grad shoot same year…. The most recent one… on my my tutors/friend had a sister getting married, he asked me to shoot it for him…. I told him I’ll do it for free since he has done a lot for me…. It was a 2 days weeding… the first day I shot the videos and the photos…. And the second day … the main event… I asked him what he cares about more, the videos or photos and you guessed it right, they cared about the video more, so I told him he should hire a person for the video… he hired one of my friends for the video that charged him $800, yah my friend is a professional that’s why… but when I got done with the shoot that night he handed me a check saying it’s nothing much but my parents said you worked too hard and free doesn’t sound right, and the check read $300! I guess $300 is better than free! And after that I have been asked to shoot about 4 weddings and other shoots too but I always doubt myself and tell myself the pics won’t come out good so I just tell the clients no,,, cuz usually it’s friends and their friends and I don’t want to mess up their events! But Im gonna get started again cuz I guess you get what you paid for haha!
I bought a canon RP with EF- RF adapter as an upgrade for my 1300d, I dont know if thats a good camera for cinematic or media production work but for photography definitely is a W. Lastly I also planning to rig the camera for cinematic use I would like an advice for which rig should I buy as well as the gimbal.
I love how you give all experience of all this years in one video, that’s was very helpful for a lot of videographer’s including me, so thank you guys ♥️
I'm a FTF student, and work mainly with events... shot many events such as ROCK IN RIO, and many artist such as CHALIE PUTH, JESSIE J, MARTIN GARRIX and many others. If you need some numbers and how it is Behind the scenes, would be glad to have a talk on the community :)
Does it also depend on the area you are located in? I have tried real estate, weddings, local commercials and most rather use their phone to do it themselves and or use the local news station's media package for them to shoot and air on the station. So frustrated.
This is a great video, but i am a beginner and was just wondering where do i start I want to film music videos and sports events but how do i start, what can i do to practise
What’s the title of the song in the beginning of the video. I use your link to try to find it on musicbed but I wasn’t able to find it.. Thanks in advance
Soon as im done with the course i just paid for about a week ago…Im joining this…this is awesome 👏🏾 it’s so much i want to learn and i think this may be the place to learn it from. To you and your team…GREAT JOB!!!
Hard restrictions are over in many countries and soft restrictions that are still present might actually be beneficial to long term travellers as they decrease the amount of short-term tourists making everything more accessible to people who actually make it to the destination. I spent 2 months + 1 weeks hitchhiking across 20+ towns in Georgia in 2021, while booking accommodation literally 10-30 minutes before arrival, and I am not sure this trip would have been possible if it were not for COVID - I was told accommodation was not only more expensive, but also booked out 2-3 months in advance just a couple of years ago. In short: COVID is no more excuse not to travel The timing is perfect:) Let me know when you make a move!
There use to be a video like this that Parker did, 10 things or something that he did starting out, one of the steps mentioned using his footage as stock footage . Where did that video go? I loved that, so inspiring @fulltimefilmmaker
Intro was fire!

Everyone at FullTime Filmmaker never fails to blow me away. I love how you guys give your tips and tricks so quick no bs. Keep it up!

appreciate it Blake!

Definitely true
This is definitely a good thing to point out and be aware of. This is exactly why its important to diversify your portfolio!
Absolutely me. Only way to start to branch out - doing free projects to prove your talent until you start getting hired.
This is what killed it for me. Take a few years for the fire to come back. You couldn't pay me to do a wedding now.
@@soyllpapi942 Good to know you're back in business! Hope you're doing other, more inspiring projects ;)

By far one of the best videos I've seen this year!
The amount of value you guys create for free is incredible.
A key tip.. don't work for money. Work for fun and follow your passion. You gonna have crazy success with this
You can really feel the beat of the music in the opening sequence!
That intro is ridiculously good!
that intro was the best flex ever made
"Real Estate low stress environment " that was funny.
I hate making real estate films, haha. Because of the agents, cause of the work.
I mean i feel you but compared to the majority of Music Video clients... lol so many rappers can be stressful af to work with
@@fulltimefilmmaker in my experience, wedding clients are so much nicer than real estate agents haha. The work isn’t hard in real estate, but the agents I was working for were unbearable.

Consistent is the key! Build up your portfolio. Let people see your work.
I’m wondering, which video production service is the most profitable when taking into account production and post-production time? 🤔
Parker and Devin both have a brilliant filmmaking mind.
Thanks for making this!
Music bed is Killin it for your videos 🙌🙌
Dope intro reel!! 👌🎥👍 now continuing on with the rest of the video
That cinematic alone make this video credibility higher by 1000 times
Inspiring ❤️ I will see you inside the Fulltime Filmmaker ❤️

how much money total to start to buy all the necessary kit to make/editing good video?
Does it also depend on the area you are located in? I have tried real estate, weddings, local commercials and most rather use their phone to do it themselves and or use the local news station's media package for them to shoot and air on the station. So frustrated.

There use to be a video like this that Parker did, 10 things or something that he did starting out, one of the steps mentioned using his footage as stock footage . Where did that video go? I loved that, so inspiring @fulltimefilmmaker
Does Full time filmmaker, teaches only premier pro? Or Final Cut Pro as well for video editing ?
This video motivated me to learn more and more about cinematography...
