I wanted to come back to this video almost 8 months later and say THANK YOU! I used your video to make my own badge and it WORKED! I was able to get into an event that I didn't have "official" credentials to be at and was able to get incredible footage that actually set me up to be a part of the event the next year in an official capacity.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
You did NOT get arrested?! Thank god.
Nobody was arrested haha
Was about to comment to ask if anyone tried that lol. Prolly the easiest way to get you foot in the door to multiple opportunities!
This is hilarious. I am actually in the media, I am a television producer in Canada and your DIY media pass makes my actual media pass look like clip art. Well done, I love the thinking outside the box mentality! Oh, the video quality was awesome as well.
Red Arrow Media , I work in media too, for the past 9 years for one of Australia’s biggest media companies and our media Passes ALSO look like clip art compared to this guys hahaha
@@KennyGsca Hi Kenneth, ya he did a really good job on the media passes...I wonder how well they work :)
Ha! The best argument against switching to mirrorless. Gotta exceed that 50 pound limit!
Camera may be lighter, but my glass is just as, if not heavier than my non mirrorless Nikon was lol
I didn't take advantage of this before I flew out to Montana with my lighting case and it cost me $100. That was a costly lesson. I watched your video again in my Hotel room, got on GImp and made myself a badge. Went to Staples and they printed and laminated it for me for $8 and I bought a pack of Lanyards for $5. Flying out of Montana using my new media badge, I paid $20. Thanks Josh, you saved me $160 on the last two flights of this trip.
it is incredibly helpful how you continued to say the commands while editing. as someone who’s currently learning photoshop and lightroom, I learned so many things in this episode
Thanks dude!
made my own media pass when I started covering events a while back, and it usually works 90% of the time when used with confidence.
No matter the task...confidence is EVERYTHING! 💯
I'm sure these work. I used to work for a small local music magazine, and they just had some shotty printed cards as media passes and proof we were "legit" and I was always nervous they wouldn't work. Out of hundreds of concerts, 1 person was suspicious about it but still didn't care.
@@SimpLeeBeth Agreed
most of the time photographers and videographers hate weddings because you have to perfectly capture a single moment for a couple to remember it by, and sometimes things dont go well. its an overly stressful event, with clients that tend to be a handful
As a photoshop project this is actually a great beginner project. You have to use a lot of basic skills to manage it, and you really have to use layers. I think using blend modes on a couple of the images or text would have been a cool effect.
Yeah I don't use photoshop as much as other programs so my in depth knowledge of tools and workflow is skewed on this one.
“Let’s manifest it” great words bro
A big hug from 🇲🇽
I've used gotten the media discount every time just using my business card but this is much more official! thank you !!
Lol. Love this. As one of the folks who actually makes these, yours is far more complex than what we use for red carpet events... except for the award shows. Those passes are nuts.
Do you still have to pay out the wazzoo to get in when you use a media pass?
Do you still have to pay a super heavy fee to get in when you flash a media pass?
@@solisinvictus4238 In roughly 30 years of covering events, I have never been charged a fee. If anyone does, that sounds very fishy.
@@Moovieboy hey, since you're in the field: is it really legal? I mean, I don't really have a reason to make one (I just think it looks cool and would be great for introduction to people), but I don't want to get "caught" with it randomly as if I was always intending to deceive authorities haha.
@@thatsreallyamoon I’ve never seen anyone at an event have a fake pass on them. My assumption is a person with fake credentials wouldn’t get past security to get onto the carpet or venue in the first place and, at most, would be escorted to leave. Fans looking to have things signed bring all sorts of items to events, so again, unless you’re trying to move into secured areas, I doubt anyone would get bent out of shape if you had a fan-made lanyard.
Came across this channel by accident and now Im addicted. Great work!
Thanks Enoka!
Same
The destructive editing kills me.
That hurt to watch
Max Cohen yes bro, couldn’t agree more
I cri evrytiem
As a Graphic Designer, the whole designing in photoshop instead of at least a vector based program like indesign or illustrator kills me. Also, As I watch I'm cringing at the area he left for bleed but... bro, there is no bleed in the bleed area! You left it blank that makes it useless to your printer (if you're having it commercially printed and cut down).
Whatever gets the job done!
Can't believe no one has done a video like this before. Thank you!
I think F Stoppers did one a few years back. Great idea.
Nice! I'd considered doing it before, but as soon as I heard "grey area" I opened Adobe Spark, loaded some of my awesome black and white lens pictures, and put "DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHER" and my name on it. I also put a QR code and some contact information and a picture. Printing it now :)
Yes! A must have for events & even large crowded areas. I also have a camera vest w/ a 'Press' patch on the back!
dude, you got some babes on your channel! Nice!!! Subbed---Keep pumping out work!
+MAKE. ART. NOW. This comment of yours will come back to haunt you when you're famous haha, which you will be!
Dude I need the story on "Never again" wedding videos.
Josh we need answers in the from of a bad ass video of course
Facts lol
He probably had sex with the bride. But how could he know it was the bride? He just liked her white dress :D 0=)
Yo, gotta back him. big mood. If you know, you know.
I recently created this account as a enthusiastic and new film major graduate. I literally learned more from this video than a semesters worth of "practicum" real world training. Thank you so much, I am now a subscriber 4 life!
Great video dude! Covered all aspects clearly and looks suuuper cool!
Thanks!
I was wondering why everyone's passes were looking the same.
My plan to take over the world.
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL 😱
Great channel, you're putting out quality content! Only a matter of time before your channel blows up keep it up man.
watching this because in your not a podcast you mentioned your first videos. made me curious. yeah, the audio buzzes for sure. but what's great about these is the rapid-fire value and your personality coming through. your skills have improved but you've always been the same personality in these videos and that's pretty cool.
That's awesome! Wish i had a use for that but i hardly ever fly except for when i visit family in Texas which i only take one camera bag with me lol. What other uses could i use it for? Also I've only watched 2 of your videos so far and subbed since the first one i watched! Great content!!
Thanks A-rod!
Did it years ago BEFORE I went to work with publications. Everything you said is spot-on.
That's absolutely amazing. Thank you. Will make a pass for myself soon. I'm about to start my media business soon. 😊👍
i love seeing your videos pop into my recommendation box, and even though I've seen them all before they just have so much rewatchability.
First, great video! Keep up this great channel!
Try also to work more non destructive.
- You can use layer masks to hide the content instead of deleting it. There is also no need to rasterize layers every time.
- Selecting the back frame itself with ctrl and click on the layer thumbnail, gives you a perfect selection of the wanted part.
- Smart-objects are helpfull, if you need to resize it later with the same quality of the raw stuff. :)
this is the most helpful comment ive ever read on youtube
Nick Wisda Wow, never had a reply like this. Thank you!
you should post a video on how to market yourself to get new gigs. how do you get people to hire you. thanks! love the channel.. I'm learning a lot!!
Loving the work brother. Here before this video hits 500k
This chanel looks like it's going to grow a lot, keep it up
I'm' having Josh Yeo withdraws so it's time to binge-watch all the old episodes again. "Keep Creating" you're changing the world.
i mean cool guide but those last few seconds made my day ..thank you ..love your channel
Evening / morning wherever you may be in the world. I have a real press pass, one issued by a gatekeeper to the UK Press Card scheme.
The first thing to say is that I have probably only ever taken it out of my pocket, save for displaying it on the back of my normal work ID (it goes on the back) I have maybe taken it out three times in the past 19 years. It doesn’t really do a lot. It gets you in to a particularly high security Court press gallery but they’re not compulsary. In the UK, we have a single design for the officially recognised card. Last time I checked, 17 gatekeeper organisations could issue them, including people like Sky, ITN, the National Union of Journalists, the new name for the Newspaper Society, the BBC and so on.
There are some legal issues in the UK -and almost certainly in the States and around the world - but hang fire on the criminal law.
The design for our official press card is copywrite - meaning to say that someone could get sued for doing anything that looked too much like the one that police would recognise. That said, the images are out there on Google Images. There was a worldwide website that used to issue cards that looked very similar. The national union of journalists wrote to all police forces to make them aware of their view that these cards, which they would argue were not legit - screw it, I’ll also say, they were not robust or frankly used by recognised jnewsgthers in the UK.
Speaking entirely personally, I don’t care one way or another if you have a ‘media’ or ‘press’ pass, card or whatever. It depends why you want one. If you want to play pretend, knock yourself out if it’s at home. If you want to make a film drama, go for it. Real ones are issued to people gathering news either as staff or freelancers. If you want one properly, it’s not that hard - do some journalism. Write some pieces, do some features, pitch some TV, radio, whateverr. There are clear rules against using it for improper purposes, that’s very much against the rules.
Here’s the legal and criminal bit... if you use a personally made (some may say forged) document (press card) and you have either gained a financial advantage or attempted to - for instance, if you falsely claim to be a journalist and get free or cheaper extra baggge, then, in England and Wales, this is knows by Fraud by False Representation. There are other offences around forged documents but this main one is the one to consider. You don’t need to have been successful in getting something for free or discounted, you simply need to intend to (try).
Honestly, I’ve never really needed a real press card to pursuade anyone I do what I do... you usually just talk to people. We do get people faking being journalists - BTW not arguing that UA-camrs are not journalists - that’s a huge and different topic. As a journalist of a good few years (like 20 ish) I know it’s not a protected term and neither should it be. People with ill intent - and I mean REAL people with ill intent rather than the example being given as an excuse to search someone taking photos, have and do pretend to be journalists.
This is a massive topic and one I’d love to go in to further. Fake journalists (and I’m not calling anyone that) stand out like a sore thumb... e.g. dencounter with police, they reply “I don’t answer questions” or “I don’t have to identify myself to you”. Experienced journalists know they don’t have to ID unless suspected of a crime, but, and this is where you may show a press card, if a police officer asks why your crew is taking photos of a police station, I have a 100% success rate of saying, hello my name is... I’m a correspondent (or reporter) with X and we’re just doing a story on Y. We’re planning to be here for about ten minutes and we’ll be out of your hair. I’ve had this loads and loads but none of them has ever actually written my name down or done any checks on me. Start with the “I don’t answer questions” or producing a fake press card and you honestly run the risk of being arrested. It would bottom out in the end but who wants to be detained in handcuffs and cells?
Back to the original question though - making your own press cards is not in itself illegal in the UK and I don’t believe elsewhere. WHY you are making it may play in, e.g. to obtain or attempt to obtain a financial advantage - or to trespass on a protected site. BTW they don’t really get you in places - that’s a myth, only a few few places. If you use it to obtain discounts (and there aren’t many anyway you could get yourself locked up.
Last line from me - I’m not being stuffy and I don’t personally care if you do, but that’s the risk you take and people who are not journalists or media claiming to be so is huge. They rarely pursuade anyone. The future however is not traditional media.
i was about to make it but after reading this i decided to follow the legal path and not risk it all.
cheers boss
Zayn Zero Good on you. I mean I don’t personally mind if people do, but definitely best to do it the right way. Let me know if you need any pointers, but the biggest advice I would give is just think of some amazing ideas and do some writing :-)
@@seaninherts i know and i will definitely do it the right way. i am currently a media and TV student but i'd love to work for BBC or ITV.
i'm sure i can manage to get a job in that industry but it just takes time and knowledge.
This is brilliant! Thanks for sharing the work flow. Definitely going to take your advice here...
You don't even need to have a press pass. U have the freedom of the press
You definitely wore hats.....
Making mine now for a thing tomorrow and I came back to rewatch this - forgot I need the hologram thingys! Hologram stores in LA anyone?
I know you said don't ask why but as an aspiring wedding filmmaker myself, why will you never shoot another wedding again? Sorry, bro. I love your content and I would love to hear your perspective on making wedding films. Possible episode idea? YES! lol
I filmed quite a few weddings in my past, and I filmed two friends weddings and they both divorced before I could finish the edit. Kinda ruined it for me. So I never went back.
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL Editing (photos) = Analysis Paralysis...at least for me
Thanks for this! Saved over 200 on my last work trip on overweight baggage.
Nice video man, I just don't have the time to run around in Photoshop but many thanks for sharing ✈️😀
Good channel dude. One thing is bothering though ... that's your audio level. Music is too loud on transitions. I just have to keep my hand on volume to raise when you talk and lower when the music comes. Good luck.
You're NOT WRONG! crap left caps lock on. Okay, working on both! Thanks for FEEDBACK! xo
Thanks Josh! Love the music in this video👏🏻
Just got mine made; big help, thanks for the tutorial!!
Great Video thanks for the tips
Josh, You are the best my friend!!!
Cool vid man. Pretty cool thing to have at large functions while filmmaking too! Shit if it looks legit no one even questions it.
"This is my brand new channel, and to kick it off-"
WAIT, DID I ACCIDENTALLY STUMBLE ACROSS YOUR FIRST VIDEO?
Weird. Feels like uncovering history. Your channel has become one of the best on the entirety of UA-cam, and it's neat to see you getting started (and that lighting setup).
Still, No Jarvis, 0/10.
loving your videos men,, question where u buy ur hats from looking nice brother,, keep up the videos
I'm still in film school but I am sooooooo doing this when I start working.
haha, really enjoys it, you made me want to make one for my own now.
Just don't abuse it. :)
Smart move man! Great Video!!
Thanks Dude! and thanks for the sub!
Was anyone else disappointed when he didn’t use a clipping mask? Lol
YES. Instantly went to my head.
Nope
That was not the only disappointment in this video
Coming back to this video for a project and realizing josh had red T-shirts back in the day😂😂😊
But wouldn't it be more of an InDesign job? As a frequent InDesign user it looked painful to create in Photoshop >
Absolutely not, InDesign is for layout when you already have all your assets. Doing this in Photoshop makes a lot of sense (I'd use Illustrator instead, but either works). However, the way he made it is incredibly painful and inefficient. Still, the end result works.
I personally would use a combination of CorelDraw and PhotoPaint, but then again, I've never been a fan of Adobe and particularly their "subscriber only" products.
@@dj1NM3 for graphic design like this, you'd be better off using Affinity Designer then.
Nobody:
Josh: Let's Rasterize this
Graphic Designers: No, No, No, Ouch. Use a Smart Object!!
Literally the one and only photoshop tutorial I ever made. Moved on to filmmaking.
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL onwards and upwards! Anamorphia 2 was amazing.
So doing this. You got yourself a new subscriber my man! ✌🏻
Just add a clipboard, confident smile, and a wave to this kit and you're set.
So cool to hear somebody playing Pylot in their video!
This is awesome. Sooooo awesome.
I have a question about the rewards/loyalty/personal info section. Did you "xxx" it out for this video or does it really have x's all over the real one? If it's got your real info, is it anything that you're worried about other people getting a hold of?
XD excellent dude!!! good job!
Thanks Bro!
Is it "legal"? As long as you don't misrepresent yourself on the pass, then it's "legal." However, trying to forge/fake something like a pass saying that you're a photographer with The Associated Press, when you're not would be another story. But if you want to be the "Head Photographer" of your Internet Blog, UA-cam channel, or your own freelance photo agency, then knock yourself out! HOWEVER, realize that one rarely can show up to a credentialed media event and be waved in with a home-made pass. It may work for high school or D3 college athletic events, or a concert of a minor performer, but that's most likely it. For events like major sporting events or top-name concerts, the normal process is that your agency or publication must request access prior to a deadline from the event's host or event promoter. That request will include the name(s) of the person(s) that the requester wishes to be granted access to the event, the job function they will be performing at the event, and access to any restricted areas (photo shooting positions, a seat in the press box, etc.). The event's media relations staff will then review the requests and either respond with an approval or denial to the request, based on the level of the demand for access to the event, and a determination that the access request is legitimate and aligns with the exposure that the event wants to have in the media. If you put in a request, and the media relations people have no idea who you are, you can expect that they'll do some digging on-line to see if they think you're legit and/or ask you to provide examples of published works for events similar to theirs.
Even if you're granted access to the event as credentialed media, you can assume that any pass you show up with will be no good. They will ask for a government issued ID to confirm your identity, and then hand you a media access pass that they issue for that event. This is because you can be sure that this pass will either: 1) only be given to you after you sign a liability waiver and agree to any conditions that they may place on you as to what you're allowed to do with the video or photos taken at the event, or 2) the waiver and rules are printed on the access pass they give you and it states by accepting and using the pass that you agree to the conditions and restrictions printed on the pass.
So yeah, you might be able to talk a gate agent for an airline to give you a discount for heavy checked luggage, or you might be able to flash your "pass" and get into a minor level sporting event, and you MIGHT be able to very once in a great while talk your way into a higher-level event... but that's going to be the exception. There used to even be shady outfits like the "International Freelance Photographers Association." The IFPO (later rebranded as "AI Press") would sell you one of their "Press Passes" and would, for a fee, apply for a media credential for you on their official letterhead stating that you were "on assignment" for them. You could then send them photos in the hopes that they would print in their "vanity" magazine called "Today's Photographer" that was sent to members. The issues were pretty laughable. Not only was a lot of the photography bad in their magazines, they loved to include "The IFPO worked for me!" stories that showed members proudly showing off on the sidelines of a very minor league baseball game, a local arm-wrestling tournament, or some such event.
Great Job Josh !
Fantastic idea! So how do we implement the media discounts during travel? Something we mention at check in or?
Awesome
Hell yeah, i did this my first year as a videographer

this was dope, super quick, you seem cool as shit brotha, i subbed, would love to see more 👍
story time on why you won’t film weddings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you used clipping masks instead of erasing around the box you wouldn’t have made the 10 min mark lol. Very cool tho. Love working in the gray area.

I’m making one. It’s going to make me feel important...haha
You ARE important! ❤
I appear to have the exact same doggie which is weird. But also cool.
Awesome video
Thanks brother
As someone who did weddings, we all know why. I feel that pain.
I know why on the weddings, I still don’t do weddings myself.
What's so painful about it? :D I wanna know.
@@AlexandersVoice really depends on the wedding, the people, and how you feel just randomly taking photos of people that dont know you, people will sometimes want you to take pictures of specific people sometimes and sometimes you might just feel in the way
Great content. Just subbed 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
should have known this about 3 weeks ago dam
This is so cool. I'm pretty sure I don't qualify but I might make one anyway.
This is so cool 😎 thank you brother
7:12 those speaker are still popular
I have to have a media pass to get on to most military bases to do interviews with soldiers. Some bases wont even let you unless you are a soldier or a relative. But I am the most illiterate person when it comes to doing anything with photo shop and such. Im an author and a creator and could only dream of being killed enough to do the simple things you did. I have taken classes, yes. Still cant get the hang of it. Have you ever hired yourself out to make them?
Hahah so creative I will use this but I'm not as professional as you.
PNG is a lot more efficient than Jpeg. I use it everytime I do Photoshop or Lightroom work, even when saving some rough MS Paint sketch...
You make it look easy, yeo
WHY THE WEDDING THING? YES I ASKED
wow super cool, i gonna make one !!
Dope Dude!!!!!
great video! but you didn't show how you saved this? what format did you save to for print?
That's dope thanks for doing this I just subbed and will be checking you out.
going o create one for my urban video's
Omg that's awesome!
Its super fun when I use it at airports.....all official like.
whatever happened to the link? is there a new place to download the layout of the pass?
Love your content even living in another continent and dont be in need for that card. :P
why no wedding anymore ????
