Video

Dawg this is NOT what I meant when I looked up friend or foe 😭

coming across this video a little late. Dig the frame ;) Genuine community is important and hard to cultivate. I've been in the industry for ~12 years. I came across your content about 8 years ago. Loved your creative vision. If you're ever in the Nashville area feel free to hit me up.

Alot of people are happy eith the video. I dont see how to compare which is which. There random shots. No A or B. I can take a guess, but its a bit disorganized and it disappoints, because you could have used your time constructing better shots to compare.

Profit First!🔥

Wth??!!! 😂😂 I love it!!

So I've used both an actual easy rig. And I own a flow line from pro. Rig, which would be considered one of those knock off brands and honestly. The easy rig is a lot more comfortable. However, the flow line still gets the job done. And it does so for a fourth of the price. And it is built like a tank. The longevity wise you're probably gonna get 2 years out of it. Versus an easy rig, which I know. Some people who have been running the same easy rig for 5 years. So if you're broke right now, but you're using a heavy a** Rig that you need to get some support for right now. But you don't want a stomach, you know? Renting an easy rig for 70 or $80 a day. Every time you have to shoot, it's perfectly reasonable for you to go for something like the flow line. Or something else? However, at the end of the day, if you have to choose between the two and budget is no option, then of course pick the easy rig

Nice clickbait ad....

TLDR - pay someone else to do it.

Are u lookin to invest in a steady cam or is not relevant enough

I thought I would learn something. This is just an advertisement

Friend. Awesome little guys.

I've been using it for about a week and can't get comfortable wearing it. I keep putting way too much strain on my back. I've adjusted every which way, and I just get fatigued after an hour of use. What tips do you recommend? I use a tilta advance rig/ronin 3 Pro with an external monitor.

Here's one: bring vitamin supplements with you when you travel. keep your immune system up while traveling.

This entire video is nothing but a shameless plug.... This teaches us nothing other that go to someone else's business and give them money to do it for you!

Got rid of email but not social Media Apps?

Do you recommend starting off as a sole proprietor with a DBA or starting off with a LLC right away?

Core group shill

I love how simple this video is Thanks!

Love this. Nice work!

As you get older, this is what happens.

Do anybody want to accept Jesus christ as your savior he want to give u love peace and love and love and happiness and calmness and salvation and eternal life if u confess your sins

Bro are you crazy i'm an introvert how i am going spend my time with humans lol😂

had NOTHING to do with YOU, had EVERYTHING to do with THEM!

Sorry this all happened to you Evan. You've helped me a lot on my career and you'll always have my respect as a professional, a mentor, and a colleague. These managers and middle-men have made their fortunes off our creativity, effort, and energy. You've been a target because you're a maverick; and for that, I've got endless respect for you.

P r o m o s m 😌

Thanks for the video. Can you easily pull off the barrel or is it recommended to have a follow focus with an easy rig? Trying to visualise the orientation and whats the least awkward position for the wrist.

Hey Evan, whenever youre in LA, feel free to reach out. Your work speaks for itself. Very best, Rob

Please can we get the directors doc for this tutorial? Thanks for the great work.

Evan, I've been watching and listening since back in 2016 when you had Greig Fraser and Joe Simon on the podcast. Those early videos about pricing and clients have helped me along more than once in my career. It's a vulnerable thing to put your progress on the internet, but I'm glad you did. I hope you keep sharing.

Evan, I have always appreciated your heart for people and filmmaking, and I feel like you work to prioritize those two in that order. I've learned a lot from you over the years and I'm looking forward to what you have planned. Let's connect soon!

Stay strong! Thank you for everything you've shared so far!

What a great guy - Wow what a great guy :)

Great thoughts. Social media is a grind its tough to find people to do influencer type content so my ideas are usually just me solo and I find myself not enjoying it as much as my bigger client based music videos where I get alot of people and coordination going through pre and post production. I've always said the memories on set are also something I provide as value but when I think about its what I enjoy most being on set and problem solving the frames and shots. The collaborative effort is more fulfilling than social media Grinding.

As you get older, it does seem like community is harder to find. Creativity flourishes and grows in community

Community has always been hard to find for me. I came from a generally speaking non creative town where there wasn't much of a community anyway, kind of learned on my own and through CZcams Uni, moved to music city during the pandemic, then made a career shift into the outdoor space, and so some of that is on me and life decisions. I'm still looking for my people. Looking forward to hearing your ideas and seeing what happens man.

I’ve never related more to a video

totally interested in the community you're building man. sign me up ^-^

I can relate to what you're saying. Especially after the lockdown so many people of my contact list are gone. It's crazy. Feels like there is a need for a change but what change and how?? That's the question. Take care.

Haven't seen one from you in a minute. This just popped up in my feed at random. I absolutely get what you're saying though. It's tough trying to get by without likeminded people who take their craft seriously.

I’m sorry people suck. Keep your head up. You are creative and you work hard. I’ve always appreciated your voice in our community. Glad you are sharing again.

The frame looks really cool. Just wanted to chime in because I share a similar sentiment. I've been in the video production business for 12 years, and the past few years have been quite the rollercoaster. Social media landscape keeps changing every 6 months, and the "creative" market is getting more saturated by the day. It's a relentless grind, and as time goes by, the energy levels seem to dip. I'm definitely yearning for something fresh. Your video was spot-on, and it's reassuring to know there are others like us, seeking to embark on new ventures. Thanks for the video.

😊

❤🤍🖤

Evan, so much respect to you for sharing your story and journey and the courage it took to film this. I worked creative and tech for 5 years for churches and it was one of the most toxic and debilitating experiences. Your comment about all the interactions stacking up is truth, in a lot of ways. It's also really hard to balance pursuing a dream and protecting yourself and your family. Keep speaking truth. You don't owe anyone anything - hope this is a turning point for you, man. Love your content, look forward to seeing what you do.

I just want to share that alot of my emotional issues have gotten much more subdued after consuming Omega 3 supplements. After taking them I feel more human, less quick to anger, less anxious, and more emotionally solid. I think modern diets strip us from the amount that we should be consuming. Nordic naturals 2x or Barleens (liquid) flavored are great. I'd explore using it and see if you notice any emotional regulation from it. Do like 4grams a day to start. It's expensive, but so worth it. I believe that it gives you an emotional superpower to handle the world.

Dude I so appreciate your honesty and your integrity. I've been following you for most of my carrier at this point, and you being truthful and giving these warnings about the industry has helped me start out with and keep healthy boundaries, both in the church as well as the wider film industry.

Been here for the whole thing man. Over the years I drew a lot of inspiration from your stuff. Appreciate you!

You've inspired me awhile back with your educational channel about filming. Glad to see your return. Your voice is fine to me soothing and relaxing actually. I've always just stuck to my own projects with the clients I have personally. The industry sounds like a nightmare and financially I've not gotten much figured out but I continue to learn and shape my own processes Keep making more content bro 🙏

Great fodder during my run today .. all smiles while listening.

Welcome back brother! Let’s have it. I am so sorry for all the hurt and disappointment with the church and other people. Love you man and LMK next time your in DFW. Would love to see you in the flesh. ✌🏽
