Freelance filmmaking isn’t easy - here are 3 harsh realities you need to know. Let’s talk about the tough parts and how to handle them.
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.
im at the beggining of this journey and i can feel the strugle, everything is so expensive, i dont know if its gonna ever pay off or if im gonna end old and broke, but i dont want to give up, i think its the most interesting journey path i can come up with, life is life
Often the most uncertain paths lead to the greatest destinations. You got this!
I have been creating videos on youtube for some good time but when I look at the old videos I get to relate to what your saying of just getting started and learn on the way, Thank you for sharing
great breakdown of the in and out of being a freelance film makers and advice to the ones who are entering into this space like me 👍🏽✊🏾
Glad you enjoyed it!
phenomenal video
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.
thanks a lot for this video.
You are most welcome
Thank you ❤
Welcome!
i used to work in a big broadsheet company for 15 years, until before pandemic hits, i quit and do freelance. major negative gamble. it is only now i get to see some payoffs.
Awesome video bro. Nobody can prepare you for the rollercoaster, but this video helps =)
True that!
It’s who you know and who puts you on. That’s what gets you the skill and experience to spiral upwards
You’re not wrong about that!
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.
Hard facts.
Real one
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?
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 :)
@@nur-niaz Love it. Thanks!
❤
i cried in the beginning of the video ,because i lost 30 years and got NOTHING
This is sad but I am hoping you’re underestimating your progress.
Amazing work brother. Love your channel. 2:18 What lens is this?
Thanks. This was Arri Alura 45-250 t2.6 zoom.
