    Currently on this journey. It's tough. I've sent hundreds of personalised emails with zero response, put down my own limited funds to make spec work, so much free work but you're right... Seeing your vision actualised is VERY satisfying.

    I’ve got an idea, I think a lot of aspiring filmmakers should move on to do social media content for brands and influencers, it’s not the same as commercials, but you can definitely get recurring customers from this

      You’re right. I am halfway there I think. At least seriously considering moving away from traditional agency/production work.

    Filmmaker here and what Nur says is correct. I have pivoted a lot in this career of being a filmmaker I have 15 years of experience and I'm back at filming weddings/events. It took me ten of those years to barely see a profit, but in my opinion this career is a business first and I think people forget that. My advice is work for everyone and anyone but do not forget to return the favor and always show up for the people who have helped you in your journey. Building relationships with people and having a community is far better than any gear you will have. Also, don't forget to have fun with what you're doing.

    Hey Nur, I'm really curious about the transition at 0:13. Is that an overlay of another shot with directional blur applied to the following clip?

    • @nur-niaz
      @nur-niaz  4 дні тому +1

      I’ll try my best :)
      So I really like making these random shots on set just in case I’ll need to make transitions out of them. So this one in particular is just me randomly panning the camera back and forth pointing at an empty set decoration. So later in post I just overlayed that quick pan on top of the cut and it gave me this interesting look. Hope this helps :)
