    "enjoy the process, keep repeating the process of conceptualizing,filming, editing and finishing"..Great advice! It's a sure formula for success!
    Good Job!

    Hearing your story and the grind you put in to get to where you are today is inspiring bru! It's really all about getting out and shooting something, persisting even when you think no one is watching, but most importantly, enjoying the creative process and learning as you go - all the money and opportunities that come as a result of the time and effort is just an awesome by-product of it all made sweeter if it's something that makes you genuinely happy (like every single thing you're willing to spend you time on in life). Keep up the motivation for 2020 and looking forward to your b-roll segment on shooting a model, cheers;)

    This video just took my breath away. I have been struggling in quite the same niche, lifestyle travel, and the confidence was just fading away, due to the reasons mentioned in your video. I always felt I am way behind those content creators whom we follow, and that I will never be able to reach somewhere even close to them. Your video changed my perspective. So practical. Wish I had a mentor like you. Hats off man! You rock.

    Thanks so much. Could you speak abt how you think abt pricing? I find it a struggle to propose a price for my services. Are there industry benchmarks?

    I loved this video and I always say, you don't know what will happen ten years from now. look at you, now the companies are calling you and you are making money on something you love.I have a UA-cam channel and I started cooking on my videos. I have been watching your videos and learning as much as I can to make my videos better. I bought the lighting, bought the Mac BookPro, bought theEpidemic Sound ,bought the Zoom H5 hand recorder, and I'm waiting to receive my camera.It's been less than a year since I started, and I love doing it.I try to make a video every Monday when I'm off.Thank You so much and God Bless you and your girlfriend.You both deserve the world.Happy fourth of July.

    thanks for the tips man! I always like to subsidize my vacations / trips my finding clients ahead of time at the place I'm traveling too, and then usually at the very least I can almost pay for like a 2 week trip my spending one day while i'm there shooting for a client.

      Like when I went to Maui I met the sickest dude who I shot this video of his car for free (because I really wanted to) ua-cam.com/video/xew_VJDSRHM/v-deo.html
      but because of that he hired me to shoot his zipline in Maui so we got a free day of zip lining and I got paid!

    Thanks bra you da man. Would be amazing to see some of your early day footage - your first few paid or sponsored deals. I think a lot of us are just insecure we can create content good enough without having done it before!
    And what type of gear you felt comfortable doing paid work with!

    Hey man! Question, do you sell your stock footage directly to agency’s or do you use something like blackbox that takes care of it ?

    • @seankitching
      @seankitching  4 роки тому +1

      The majority of the time it is just directly with the buyer of someone that contacts me looking for my type of footage. But a few of my friends have been pretty successful with Blackbox so I definitely recommend it!

    • @YoussefHallouly

    Big thanks to you Sean that I have a bunch of your videos in my favorites about how to shoot cinematic b rolls, how to edit etc. Love from india 💓
