It’s just a calling at this point, I remember buying my camera in December 2018 hoping to make YouTube vids such a vlogs. Basketball IRL, Reactions, Gaming. Etc etc. one day I was at the park filming the homies hoop and a random guy asked did I shoot music videos. I replied no, but I had the urge to say yes. Fast forward a few months later I found myself in Texas helping a family member out with his hustle shooting videos around his town. Basically his right hand man sleeping in his studio. Now I’m in LA one year later with just a camera and laptop. I wanted to be the one in front, never in a million years I would think I’d be going down this path. Crazy how life just flip your world outside down and make you think outside the box to achieve your dreams.

Man, you were not kidding, I really walked away from this so confident! I just bought a Lumix G9 and was afraid that I was getting in over my head, but you took my fear away and replaced it with excitement!! Thank you so much, man, I'm so glad I found this video ✌🏻

Just dropping by again to say a MASSIVE thanks bro! It’s thanks to you and this video that I was able to learn enough tips, tricks and techniques in order to shoot and edit my first run-and-gun music video for a friend. It’s not perfect, but it’s a start. And without your advice in this video it wouldn’t even look half as good. Thanks for all you do for this community, and keep up the great work!

[mrstdeluca]

I use tripods for studio recordings with multiple cameras to capture lots of b roll. It helps when you need to focus on solos and to cover performers' (or cameraman) mistakes. It makes syncing a breeze. Also grab stills of anything that has the band's logo or unique equipment.

I just acquired a Gh4 and I came here to get some confidence to gas me up to take up on my first gig. I really appreciate you. New sub from Nairobi, Kenya.

[jacobyanke]

Great video, thanks! As a self taught videographer, coming from the world of photography, I definitely had a similar trajectory as yours (shooting free/cheap, and learning hard lessons along the way). Still have so much to learn, and it's thanks to you and other who post such great content, that I can!
