      I know this is a joke, but honestly you can film bricks and improve your skills. You can practice B rolls and other different shots, on filming the bricks.

    I think this is the single best piece of advice I’ve heard about filmmaking. I’ve been running around trying to do everything because I’m so afraid to get stuck doing one thing but it’s been years and I haven’t made all that much progress. I’ve got it backwards.

    Wow. This couldn’t have been more timely. Just spent the evening looking at film schools and applying for production assistant jobs. Just stressing over what I’m doing/what I should be doing. Thanks for the legitimate insight. So often videos like this are bogus and fraught with cliches.

  • @FixItOnTheWay
    @FixItOnTheWay Před 6 lety

    Great story, you guys have real natural talent. You don't need a school for anything when you have that. My no-film-school story is that I like photography and movies and just self-learned by reading books, magazines, internet, and shooting a lot. I lack natural talent so I have to be aware that my success has limits. But this is normal for all industries. We need ten filmmakers to play the game so we can find one good one. The good thing about filmmaking/photography is that now it's cheap and easy for everyone to try, so that we can find the truly talented people like Colin & Samir. For those with less talent...they can still make films/photos for therapeutic purposes. Because it's a good way to express yourself and gain self-awareness. All of the filmmaking that occurs in a community, whether it's by talented or talentless filmmakers, will create an environment that encourages more people to get involved and increase the odds of finding great filmmakers.

    *What an inspiring message man!*
    Many people, including me, don't really have the answer to life what they should do in life. Studying one thing, but end up doing the other is a unique journey and won't apply to anyone, but that just proves the point that nothing is ever too late!
    Winny out... _for now_ 😉

  • @patrickhubbard3818
    @patrickhubbard3818 Před 6 lety +4

    I do like the brick analogy but I don't think it's the only way. A lot of people start out with a wide variety of topics to film and eventually pick one down the road. Plus filming the same thing everyday might get boring for some people, and possibly cause them to lose their passion for it. Great video nonetheless. Keep up the good work!

    this is a great video. Guidance counselors should play this for high schoolers still deciding on their college majors. One request for a future video - could you take one of your earliest lacrosse narrative videos & critique it knowing what you do now? Would you edit / shoot it differently & tips for those starting out in storytelling?

    I don't know if you've already mentioned this (since I've only just recently found your channel), but how did you grow from filming your "brick" to growing enough to film other sports? Did you post online? Or show it to other people and everyone slowly got wind of your awesome film skills? Or did you just keep a hold of your films and showed them to people when you applied for more film opportunities? Thanks for a great video!
