A Realistic Guide to Becoming a Filmmaker in 2024

[@redrosevisuals]

Wow. Sitting on my patio listening to this after building a luxury wedding brand for the last few years is refreshing. Time to grind again full steam ahead 🎉

[@tomgriffiths_net]

congrats on 100k :)

You seem to have a lot of b roll for your videos that shows you. How do you get them? Do you hire someone for bts when you’re on a project? Also, thank you for the things you do for this community

I've been working for a news station as a Marketing Producer for almost 3 years now... Not my dream job by any means.. I haven't really "learned" anything I didn't already know going in... but it allows me to be in rooms with important people in my market who otherwise wouldn't know I existed. For those struggling to find that direction I suggest emailing/calling the head of Production or Marketing/Creative Services at your local news stations.

Can’t tell you how refreshing it is to see a filmmaking video without a sponsored segment 😂 Awesome advice man.

[@PicturesOnMyMind]

Absolutely excellent advice! I've been a pro photographer for 25 years and that's exactly how I started making my own personal projects and photo essays to pitch to magazines before then I started picking up freelance work. I'm now trying to make film so yeah I will endeavour to do the same thing! Thank you very much for making these videos they're very supportive and yeah you're a super dude for making them

[@HumblyNeil]

I spent most of the weekend watching the doc. cinematography course and getting psyched as I move forward. What has been for me most insightful is understanding a timeline that's achievable for myself, working out when I can get things done by whilst earning my daily bread, learning a new language and parenting 2 dogs. The advice in this video is golden but it seems as you stated at the start all the voices competing for our attention, it also instills the sense of urgency and quickness. I understand my goal timeline is far slower than most, and I'm ok with it... but committing to it is the goal. Thanks Luc!

[@ezekial717]

This was honestly maybe one of your best, and most helpful videos for me, thank you! Really helped bring clarity in truly a spinning time:)

[@NEFKANO]

Great simple and to the point advice … working on creating my own spec content and building a network!

[@timfuchs1927]

Ive been spending every opportunity i have this year to travel and meet with people in the genres I want to be in. My next trip is November and im spending 3 days with a Dp/cinematographer that I want to work with or have as a contact. Hes letting me shoot an interview as well. Love the advice!

[@CompositionProductions]

Great advice mate. People often dont see the work it takes to get where they want in the industry. Working out the destination, and outlining the path is super important and helps keep you focused.

[@4sightfilmsLLC]

Incredible advice! For someone that did not get a degree in photo/video you sure have a sound workflow and strategy for learning and success. Talent alone won’t be enough. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dhphotovideo1]

Thanks for the solid advice, rough but true.

[@Marcus_Visbal]

Thank you for the amazing content 🙌

[@andrewcoonsmedia]

Lol I feel like we just talked about this exact thing in my 1:1! Thanks for this video, continues to solidify the great advice you gave me!

[@tysonely]

This video: 1) is great advice 2) inspired me 3) earned a new subscriber

[@mikerosephoto]

[@ambermariemalone]

Great topic and video. Thanks

[@demojoys]

great stuff luc.

[@ericdargan]

This is exactly right

[@robertharker]

Great advice. Easy to say but really hard to do. Thanks!

[@cstephenfoster]

thank you!

[@davidmorefield]

Advice with a ton of utility.

[@helicopter_traffic]

this was so clear

[@jahosaphat]

Great advice.

[@rojaecrosby1554]

Hey great video!!! Can you possibly do a tutorial on how you did the effect @00:18-00:23?

[@TwangThang57]

You should def rock a Groucho 'stache!

[@rickyistrying]

When it comes to spec work as a Director does the body of work you've created still have to be in the field you want to work in or would you need to diversify your voice a bit more?

[@justoneperson]

Vancouver misses you Luc. Just saying.

[@foreignhades6788]

Big fan, love your content, but I'll admit always doing the "Im going to tell you the big secret...BUT before that let me tell you a story and why it's important" and then 5 minutes later you finally get to the point. Your content is good enough, that even if you told me the three points in the first 5 seconds, I'd stick around to find out HOW exactly to implement it. Just feels a bit clickbaity to do the whole building suspense to retain viewers. Just a thought.

I AIN'T DONE! THIS AIN'T THE CHORUS!

interesting tshirt

[@MrPfifeDawg]

I know right? :D

[@EricPöggeler_Creative]

yeah but now you can make a film with AI

[@adamernsterwildlife]

Wrongggg 👎🏻 You can never recreate the human element put into filmmaking. The story, the perspective, the flaws, the triumphs, the free will, the personal touch. No matter how crazy the effects or beautiful the creation is, it’ll never be the same as a humans creation.

[@EricPöggeler_Creative]

@@adamernsterwildlifeWe are already beginging not being able to distinguish AI from reality.

[@Dpercy]

@@EricPöggeler_CreativeYet, not all stories told are worth telling. Even though they may be true.
