    This is part of my story and how I got here!! It’s all about the journey not the destination. We’ve still got a long road ahead and I’m happy you’re on board.

      This is amazing. I watch all your usual vlogs but great to see how you have grown. With your videography eye, I'd love to see what you could do with the brain farm team and their kit...... You'd make epic art of flight stuff. Damnnnnn!!!

    I go to an 8 hour job everyday to save money so I can travel 2 weeks in a year. You travel most of your time around the world to work. What more could you ask for. The many beautiful places youve'd been to, its history , culture, people, food .... not even the people with money could always experience. Yeah man , I think you have " The Best Job in the World " !

      Greg Snell we live in Perth- it’s the most remote city ever! As my old aunt in Melbourne once asked when we moved there from South Africa, “Why would you want to live in the middle of the dessert?” The city of sunsets! So I guess that’s a plus.

    • @gregorsnell
      @gregorsnell  6 років тому +1

      Good question mate. My first job with the SATC (South Australian Tourism Commission) was really well paid and I had to bring my expectations way down in Europe. I quote now based on the amount of videos and length of videos, plus time on location and editing time. I also quote for photographs and social media posts. It's a fine balance but the more you do it the more you understand budgets of clients and what their value is on the content.

    • @nomadcompany
      @nomadcompany 6 років тому

      thanks mate. be very interesting if you ever get a chance to do a video on actual amounts. (maybe not your amount) but how you got to the amount you were happy to charge and why/how you literally came up with that. I know with what i do im always asked do you charge extra for the images or charged extra for travel etc as they seem stunned at my inexpensive rate lol.... always a sign you are under charging i guess. If we did basic math and added up what we would be worth it would be problematic i think. Thanks mate
