    Hey Fincky, Romeus Palmer (martial arts film director) here :) Thanks so much for the shout-out, and also for your cool ideas for the film, and f****g awesome flying on set. Definitely most talented FDV pilot in France !

    Very interesting point of view ! I am a commercial pilot for a french airline, and every body also think that my job is a dream, but there are a lot of things that can happen "behind the scene", like cancellation, early wake up, always on the "road".. I think there are a lot of similarities with your situation and I totally agree with your point of view !

    Super vidéo tout particulièrement pour mon cas. Je suis en pleine reconversion et je me tâte à me lancer aussi. Je suis déjà télépilote et bien que SS vient de sortir sont drone racer homologué ça me paraît toujours un peu compliqué de se lancer en France. Je serai curieux de savoir si les opportunités que tu as sont difficiles à trouver ou si c'est le fruit de longues heures prospection ?
    Merci à toi en tout cas pour le BTS, keep going ! ;)

    • @Fincky
      @Fincky  5 років тому

      La plupart des opportunités que j’au viennent de videos que j’ai fait dans le passé. Quelqu’un vois la vidéo de longboard et se dit « tiens ce serait pas mal ça pour le film qu’on est en train de préparer. » et ils me contactent. Instagram est aussi très important. Le réseau, s’associer à une boîte qui fait de la captation classique et qui veut proposer du FPV ça marche bien aussi. Mais il faut être prêt, c’est pas après 6 mois de pratique qu’on se lance, il faut avoir 3 machines identiques et toujours nickels, avoir une bonne méthodologie. Bref c’est du taf!
      Côté prospection j’en fait presque jamais parce que je suis pas bon là dedans donc je me concentre sur le fait de faire des trucs cool jusqu’à ce qu’on me contacte ;)

I'm just 14 yr but really want to do this as a profession. I've started to make some videos but I don't have any places to shoot anymore since my parents have to drive me, and I have no one who wants me to shoot hahaha
