dude your website just tried to give my computer a virus. just letting you know.

The Storybrand framework is so powerful! Love how you included it in this video. Wonderful advice!

Hey your content is really good, i'm Flobreg-asted !! Hehe Nice job, subscribed

id would to let you know you’ve inspired me to pick up the camera for the first time, i am almost opposite of your situation i’ve always ran, and never really messed with filming but I am trying to learn something every day and you’ve inspired me to bring a camera along for my first marathon! i will be in chicago living soon and would love to get together and train or just chat running! thank you for the content

Solid stuff. You touched on connections from set. I'm a 3rd year film student and intern making my connections in commercial and narrative feature spheres. One thing I've learned is just get on set and work with other people. Don't just only be the DP or cinematographer right away. Build connections and work your career from the ground up if you can. As a PA, grip, 2nd AC, or whatever other "smaller" you can learn so, so much. Just rushing to be a DP without learning from older and more experienced gaffers or DPs from working under them might just hinder your growth. Yes, being a DP or cinematographer is great, but like you mentioned from the book you quoted, you don't have to be the main character or star as a DP. You can sit back and learn while working hard to help someone who has been in the game longer than you. Your time will come, but staying on as a "smaller" role on set for a few years is valuable experience. Also, it's more attractive to fellow film set peers if they know you're a hard worker and willing to fulfill any role needed. Plus later on, you can teach the next new guy who is on the journey. Only wanting to be the DP or camera operator can come off as arrogant or ignorant perhaps. Also, off that, maybe just only wanting to be the DP could limit your options or make you have to do projects solo. Going solo is viable but the more solid creative people on set, the more you can do. Also, it looks more professional to clients if you have a team that works hard and produces quality material. Going solo might still produce quality material and impress clients though. It just depends on the client. Also going solo can be financially appealing to the client since they only have to pay one person. But in my opinion, if a company can afford to pay for a full crew to get high quality material then they should. That goes for the DP/Cinematographer too. If he/she is willing to give up a little creative control and bring on someone else (whether they be more experienced or less experienced like an intern) a lot of amazing things can happen. For me, I enjoy being a solo videographer for free but if I'd rather be on set with people I can trust to do quality work while I work hard to do what I can for the project. It also can be relieving to jump on someone else's project but not have to worry about all the visuals. You could run audio or lighting instead.

You just hit every nail on every head and said all the words I’ve been thinking about implementing as well as already implementing and you’re a boss and thank you

This is so on point.

I am a wedding video editor, and a client sent this link as their video reference. I love it so much. The storytelling is very nice, and the color and cinematic quality of how it was filmed are beautiful. This video is my inspiration and motivation as a video editor. Thank you, and keep on creating!

I loved this video. Do you have any recommendations for a beginner course in content creation and filmmaking?

So much stuff a lot of us have heard before but always a good reminder + important to hear it from a supportive voice. Great advice in this one 🤘🏻

Eric, you've put SO MUCH VALUE in these 11 minutes. Thank you for sharing!! You're awesome

Great

Thank you so much, I know I can do this...

Great points, I got to comfortable with a retainer client & put less effort into searching for new ones, was great for a while until my retainer client’s company went bust and it left me with an almost back to square one situation

Where is the link for the easy rig in the thumbnail? 😂

I don't know anything about film making, though this video is eloquent in its approach, and its core message will resonate with anyone

bruh the christian mingle pop out sent me lol

I made the switch from weddings to commercial and wow.. it was a shock and I 100% agree with you!

You mean ... Nobody Ever Gets Paid? What about all those names at the end of the movie ... in the credits? Don't those represent paychecks? ua-cam.com/video/RaT-8LuXDjg/v-deo.htmlsi=KKlDzHMfj88JAEQu

Great

Thank you for sharing a perspective !

Your make content section was so funny 😂 You’re definitely talking to yourself too I’m sure 😂

This message is sooooo important

saying yes is so important. My highest paying client now reached out to me 5 years ago with no money....now they pay me the most money lol

Great video! I forget how important it is to put out unique content on a consistent basis so good reminder.

Very few people can do these videos well and with the right intention but you nailed it bro!

Love this bro! A lot of great advice in here!!

the first point is so key. Especially about how people are busy. If someone isn't interested or responsive to bringing you on board for a current project don't take it personally. Again, they're just busy. Do not be afraid to ping them again in 30-90 days. Obviously, make sure you're not coming off as desperate or annoying but just a little reminder of the work you do and the interest you have in working with them. I've had to follow up about 6 times before with a producer in an email chain stretching almost a year and a half but finally, something came up.

Dude your words hit home for me at around 6 min in. I have so much unshared work because of my aversion to social media when in reality, sharing it and letting people know I'm alive, well, and thriving, would more than likely net more of the kind of work I'd like to create. Thanks for sharing!

CHRISTAN MINGLE 🤣🤣🤣

best sponsor read i’ve ever seen!!

I binged so many running videos of yours, to now getting one of these gems! You just keep the content flowing. lol

great video sir. i'm sure you're aware, but your website has malware on it :(

4:54 stood out to me

Love this video dude. Thanks so much for making it. Mark was mentioning your running doc and I'm really pumped to see it. I know a lot of work went into it. I also hold myself back because I gibe the excuse that I don't live in a major city, I'm 2 hours south of Chicago, and I need to stop doing that. Thanks for all you do Eric......love you......

great advice

Man, all day, this! As somebody who's entire company and livelihood is based in the commercial space, the #1 thing I tell people is not just to make connections but make connections with actual decision-makers in the hiring process. Networking across the board is great because you never know the rolls people will find themselves in, so as a long terms play, make genuine connections with everyone. But in the short term, pour a lot of energy into people that actually have the discretion necessary to hire you. 99% of the people the actually make the decision on hiring me and my company have the title of "Creative director", "Media Director", "Communications Director", etc. Those are the people who actually make the decisions to hire external creative or not.

Thanks Eric!

0:05 ha, fancy spotting Mr Dan Hollis there

Intentional spec ad's are the way! Great video Eric! Just released an On spec ad, so this was a great timed video.

Love the simple and informed points you make man, especially as someone looking to break into commercial work. Be intentional, be unique and make stuff! Great vid!

That’s my Wide Reciever ! Excellent takes 🔥

What ?

when you say double exposure are you referring to image stacking in camera? I ask because you did a lens swap and I'm assuming the star photo is later in the evening, that is a long duration of time between photos. Can you lock your camera to stay on a frame for any duration of time? I have been shooting multiple exposure for a long time and my dslr can do 3 exposures however, the multiple exposure function turns off after thirty seconds, and it pisses me off. I can hack through it if I keep the camera busy by constantly hitting the focus button, but I really wish my dslr worked like my canon eos1 that can do 9 exposures stacked on 35mm and will remain in multiple exposure mode until I turn it off myself.

good vid mate thanks

🌊🌊🌊

Loved watching the versatility of the lens

Always appreciate these updates and your humility around them. Thank you for sharing! On the YT income segment: I’d love to hear more about how you project (dream?) for steady growth on those fronts. I’d love to take this platform seriously as a side revenue stream one day but it’s daunting to consider lining things up for regular income. Probably a bit off the topic here but any additional thoughts in that category would likely help a lot of us get unstuck. ‘Preciate you, sir.

Love these annual videos! Thanks for the airport video 🤝🏼

Very nice! What lens hood is that? Also is this the M6 Classic or TTL?
