@@VictorLaforteza yes. I have also worked in TV and some two feature film productions. Right now I am actually specializing on music videos. I still have two projects that I have to finish editing and another one I am producing in december. After that I believe that I have enough to get at least some paid music Videos. Who knows.
This has been my go to tactic for the past 2 years. I only have like 3 consistent clients that are like family at this point. I give them production value, fast delivery, consistency an they give me non stop work.
I agree with you!! I met a Broker, she said she prioritize getting more connections than selling. Her company gives an option whether you want to keep the income+bonus or less income+free overseas travel w/ coverage to meet clients. I was like WHAO travelling coverage?? Imagine doing travel vlog while doing main job. A dream job. I also absolutely agree with doing collaborations! From there you can create a small community(Big community will just get you ignored by the rest). If anyone of them gets a job opportunity and can't accept it, they can pass it to you! When you get your first/second client, let the word of mouth play and slow but surely, your client will get to you. At least that what happened to me!
This is Great Advice! Actually as a Professional Extreme Sports Photographer and Filmmaker for 35 Years Success really has been All about Great Trusting Relationships!!
FINALLY! I'M EARLY! Dude, fr, you've inspired me to do filmmaking again, you've lit up my candle when it was blown away from my recent break up... The intro with your "Kamusta" always brightens time that passes, and i'm glad that i've found your channel... Thank you for existing, and hopefully i can see you soon here in the Philippines when you get back! :)
Early Monday morning upload!! Break ups can be hard but it is another way or sparking another flame and focus on our goals. Glad I was able to inspire. Wish you all the best! Can't wait to visit Philippines again at some point!!
Thank you for this advice dude! I really love this it really helps a lot, I lived here in the Philippines which the talent fee is so low and I realize that working also on abroad like in other countries I can earn a lot of money because the currency of other countries is so strong compare on here
Glad it was helpful! I know the market differs in every country but I do know getting faced by low fees when starting out or trying to breakthrough to bigger clients. It's tough but consistency is key and also meeting the right people.
I’ve been afraid to making the jump to freelance because I fear not having enough clients to sustain my business. I have a very well paying job but I would really love to go back to creative work which I went to school for.
Really like this! I have been a videographer for 3 or 4 years now and I really wish I would have seen this then. Adding a client monitor to our setup is something I wish we had done since the beginning. I really liked your video on grading/coloring the DJI mini 3 pro. I have reacreated it and have been trying to tweak it to my footage. Have you played around with the new sharpening setting that was added? Thanks for the great videos. It seems like most channels are either totally focused on gear, or are tutorials for beginners, with few being actually helpful to full time videographers, like yours.
It’s a great tool for client experience. Even the more affordable versions are good enough because we don’t need to be super accurate or super fast on the client feed! High end clients would probably want those but for everyone else, it’s great. I haven’t yet with the new mini 3 pro. It’s actually on repair right now.. the ESC failed for some reason lol. Trying to accommodate content for everyone but it seems like I’m getting a hang of CZcams! Hoping to get more consistent very soon. So much freelance stuff lately 😭 any questions or suggestions for filmmaking stuff, feel free to ask!!
Great advice! I just discovered your channel and I love your style. I'm starting out from scratch trying to build my portfolio. I've shadowed some weddings, edited music videos, shot some real estate, and PA'd on a short film set to name a few. Currently I'm filming some content for local non-profits which is a great way to meet people and make connections. What are some industries or businesses you'd recommend contacting where there's a lot of video work? Thanks!
Welcome to the channel dude! Sounds like you’re on the right path of trying out everything to see what you like best. I’ve done something similar before and learned lots from different industries. There’s a lot of consistent work in corporate, healthcare, manufacturing, and even finance or government. Lots of repeat work on there 🙌🏽
Me too!!! But unfortunately we have to be an extrovert at times in this industry. Simply just recharge after you go out and network. Don’t have to do it everyday but once a month or once a week could be beneficial!

I would like to know how I can start. It seams whatever I do... nothing seems to work. 😔
@@Leprutz Do you have any experience and have you done some paid work?

No prob dude! Hope everything’s going well with your creative journey so far 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you for the advice ! Quite useful 😊
Great advice man
Everything you've said here I absolutely agree with. It's not about how good you are but who you know. 💯💯
Networking is the most crucial thing in many industries!!!
What you talk and the way you do it is so authentic and good to listen to. Just subscribed, keep up and don't stop (Y)
Thank you so much! I appreciate you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Always great content, my friend! Keep up the great work!
Much appreciated! Thanks for tuning in. Hope the video was of good use to you!

You taught me a lot of things, thanks man! I hope that you reach 20k before 2023.
Glad to hear you’re learning a thing or two from this channel! My goal is 15,000 to be realistic!! But we will see haha

Take it slow brother, I had the same thing before. Work weekends and after work! Clients will come when you network and collaborate 💪🏽

can you review the Brighten Star m35mm F0.95 Night God for videos in APSC sensor?
if they send me a unit, sure!
My clients are my only way to get new clients. I'm always selling videos to them even if them are not looking for one.
That’s the true meaning of business trust!! Hold on to that client 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Whats the transition flare bro?
film burn transition :)
