People who didnt watch making a film company are missing alot.Literally my best series on youtube so far

[@IndyVisuals]

True, I know there are pretty busy but I wish they could continue the series by at least a video a month

[@jacobnobbe.]

So true very underrated series

[@stevenkralovec]

I agree. One of the best.

[@kevinvrevic188]

True

[@CrazyAboutLife]

Agree 100%

[@alexasuncion7718]

A wild Jordy appears out of nowhere!

[@joshjayfilms]

Love watching these episodes guys. It feels like this should be on Netflix - the quality is so high and the longer form is refreshing for KZbin. I also like how you don't rush your edits. You take time between each segment, it's very relaxing to watch.

[@visualsofnova]

I hadn't watched and for a while and suddenly got this video recommended. I'm about to start a film company myself and was totally lost. Never imagined such an incredible entire freaking series existed. What an amazing guy !!!!!

[@TravelEcstasy]

And HONEST about it too! 😊

[@petterlindblad]

Loving the cameo of Jordy! Great content as usual from VJUS!

[@j11355lhh]

Thank you for showing me and giving me motivation. You have no idea how much I needed to see this today! I am planning on moving to to my GFs country and was trying to figure out ways to sustain myself as a freelance filmmaker. I felt low and hopeless because I thought it will be a impossible challenge, but like the video says .... we all have challenges we just need to know how to manage them. Thanks a lot guys. I have been watching your videos since the start. Love it

[@Andyax]

Thank you and good luck! 💖🎬

Thank you all so much for posting us!

[@Director_S]

I watch your KZbin all the time as I just moved from New York to Dallas to start a production company this really inspires me. Thank you 😊

[@nextdoorpandaofficial]

I’ve been a huge fan of you guys since the start of 2018. And seeing Jordy just brought a huge smile on my face. You guys are my inspiration and I wish to start my own film company someday. Thank you for the content.

[@Andyax]

Thank you for your comment. I wish you a lot of luck!

[@mirkomostaghimi]

I used to watch your videos 10 years ago. They were great then, and I'm glad you can continue to do what you love

[@rickmagnell]

I really love to hear theses stories. As a part-time filmmaker / photographer I've been growing more and more every year in a small city. I still work a full-time job so it's a challenge but one I enjoy pursuing till hopefully I can make a transition to full-time production.

[@abhijaygupta7292]

Thanks for the inspiration and all the great videos. Wish you all the best!

[@thelionofthenorth]

Start of a new month (in some parts of the world) and a new episode drops. Thanks for the budget breakdown and explanation of expenses. Glad to see the company growing.

[@Andyax]

Thanks for being a member of this channel 💖

[@thelionofthenorth]

@@Andyax You are welcome.

[@eyebrowlook]

Thank you so much for sharing all this, guys!! Been following Andyax for years now, it's very cool to see the evolution. Very inspiring for me too. Wish you all the best, keep up the good work!!

[@MegaThor83]

Hail from Reykjavík! Great video and content.

[@fg.salomon]

I really like the approach you have on these videos, very honest and clear. I regret not having visited the studio while I was living in Oslo last year.

[@RPPRods]

This content is a gem. Appreciate the effort put for this! Thank you guys!

[@Big5Audio]

So inspirational to see your journey!

[@emmanueloluyori]

Seeing Jordy was really refreshing.

[@brokenstudiotv]

Thanks for the detailed breakdown, there's a lot to take away from your experiences so we appreciate it a lot! Much Love

[@borealstudios3170]

OMG this video is simply amazing. I have a music production studio and can relate to this so much! Thank you for sharing your workflow! Love from Brasil.

[@chosenideahandle]

I would of been one of those three people that lost their full-time job lol. It's been years since I've watched one of your videos. Cool to be back (had to resubscribe with my new account).

[@mattlau]

Subscribed! Awesome content

[@Tommotreloaded]

Love this series. I'm already looking forward to the next episode!

[@bizdrip-truebusinessknowle9068]

Eskald would be so proud of your guys

[@SolidBlueBlocks]

Yes yes yes a new episode!!!

[@jonasfreitag1344]

Super Interesting and very inspiring. Thanks for sharing guys!

[@fodsonmedia]

Very inspiring guys! I stumbled onto your channel today for the first time and I'm very glad I did. This video in particular resonates very well with me, as I've been acting as a sole proprietor in filmmaking since 2017 but started to do more jobs with a friend of mine a couple of years ago. We are now looking to expand our business, so watching this video almost gave me the chills. Subscribed! Hälsningar från grannarna i öst :) /Fredrik

[@frafilms8292]

Great video guys! Thank you!

[@ahadgroup]

Brilliant insight - well done guys!

[@TimmyLodhi]

The best film series on KZbin!

[@kevinkelly2513]

KZbin or not, wishing you continued success!

[@jameshcox]

This was really interesting thanks for sharing.

[@ShaunNotcutt]

That Jordy cameo!! 😂😂😂

[@AlberGrau]

amazing work! thanks for sharing

[@indiefilmandmusic]

Congratulations to all of you for making it happen and getting shit done!

[@ralfmoss]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I'm in my own thinking about how to start a company like this.

[@DanielTuriman]

Best episode sharing for me

[@Thoracius]

I think in English we call this a "video production company," whereas "film" implies cinema.

[@Stewef]

Thanks very much. really a fantastic series. good development also in the pandemic. ❤️ you're great.

[@benjamin.kelley]

Jordy's cameo...I literally LOL'd

[@acamilop]

Great video, love the transparency. You are lucky your rental is only 10% of your revenue.

[@torbs_media]

Fantastic and honest breakdown of the financial side of running a production company. Personally, I have been working in digital marketing and consulting for the past years, but started getting into freelance film & commercial production this year. For someone starting out, would recommend joining a production company or freelance?

[@qikealarcon]

What a great video! thanks for sharing your experience.

[@jesperlemke]

Your channel is a hidden gem, great video! I want to run a company in the future. I definitely will keep your words in mind :)

[@IndyVisuals]

This is episode is what I needed to watch today

[@Stellar_Motion]

good content and very informative thumbs up you guys

[@gandatubeofficial]

oh my GAWWD JORDI !!!!!

[@smepable]

Thanks for being so open about business Things. I think that is the Most scary Part die creatives. Congrats for doubling your revenue every year. How did you do that? More clients? Higher prices?

[@Moriarty2007]

Goodluck!

[@hollyviewstudios8434]

Right when I was thinking of buying the fx3 . Fuck 😩

[@HuyRebel]

[@JanSur]

Great guys, happy you are succesfull..thank you for making youtube videos even you do not have to :)

[@solosatvik6215]

For Sony fx3 lens can you recommend sir

[@showshow8804]

that cameo from cinecom tho lol

[@alesterleong249]

Thank you for sharing this you guys 💛💛💛

[@leoquesto9183]

Nifty. So you were able to keep your company by firing three people initially... sounds like a regular, all-business-first-at-all-costs model. That's a great gift in a nutshell for the three new people, because now they know... I mean, they're full-time with part-time smiles, but they understand, it's really about the two guys at the top. I wonder what will happen when the next dip happens and it's only you two: who will win then?

[@Andyax]

No one has ever been fired. Don't know where you got that from. We all worked freelance until we were able to hire. We went from 1 to 5 employees in 1 year.

[@eliasjarrouje5165]

JORDYYYY!!!

[@Ade5]

What the frigg were Jordy doing behind the scenes?

[@juan180p]

That's Jordy from Cinecom?

[@elitefamilyparkour]

Revenue or profit?

[@NicMediaDesign]

Did you ever shoot with a Sony FX6, FX7 or FX9 with integrated variable ND-filter? If so, how did you like that particular feature in praxis?

[@Andyax]

We haven't used those cameras yet, unfortunately.

[@imagenatura]

Nice vid...hmmm...ad.

[@Kai-qe3bo]

13:09 Wait, when did he join VJUS :D

[@adamsmith4778]

Highlight of the video was kims nails for sure

[@tpain525]

4:53 whats that rack?

[@RayoBeatz]

$30k a month would have been awsome if i could do that too.

[@leonardomultiverso]

Jordy?? What are you doing here??

[@Jolontokhalilswork]

Hired me insead🙂🙂

[@odanetaylor2660]

Lol jordi

[@darkphotographer]

do people realy pay that much for video , in Greece you tel them 300 euro , for basic video and they tell you budget is 100 ha ha

[@ShotByJaguar]

yo wtf how tf got jordi this lost

[@FLAMENCO961]

Step 1: don't live in latín america

[@JimboSkinner]

It’s scary how KZbin revenue has just evaporated for many creators. It used to be a much better revenue source.

[@SkullyReacts]

It's pretty bad. ESPECIALLY with Adblock and KZbin vanced, lots of potential income has gone down the drain. Hopefully KZbin does something about this eventually...

[@chrisklugh]

Supply and Demand. Everyone and their dog is uploading crap to KZbin that nobody watches. Someones got to pay for that.

[@AlpsLifee]

multiple factors in this, they live in norway, cost of living there is really high, also Adsense doesn't pay well for Norwegians, Americans and British channels pay more and you can definitely live off the revenue.

[@WilliamFaucher]

@@AlpsLifee It's not that Adsense doesn't pay well in Norway. It depends where your views come from. In fact on a per-ad basis Adsense pays more per Norwegian viewer, but there's just not the volume here. I'm in Norway myself, but most of my views come from the US, Canada, and the UK.

[@saviyou]

Not true. Target the right audience and the money is decent.

[@Quicez]

Thanks for being so transparent with us, guys! We really appreciate it! And, this is seriously so inspiring to watch! Thanks for taking time out of your schedule for making these kind of videos!

[@ISRAADVISUALS]

Its horiffing how youtube is slowly dying..Videos are no longer shown to the subscribers.Revenue is pretty Low compare to the views.I miss the times when youtube wasnt saturated and if you a upload a video. It would get thousands of views in minutes and the revenue was fair.I miss the times when the views came from the subscribers

[@Tekgila]

Surprising KZbinr cameo! Hahaha ...

[@ISRAADVISUALS]

Is there a month that ended without you getting a single client? Like complete zero

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

you guys are so likable, humble and down to earth. to make a video like this, without the usual bragging one can see on other filmmakers channels, speaks for you.

[@TeddyLeppard]

Two best friends of the small business owner: A CPA and a lawyer.

[@The-Logician]

GH4ISGOOD…. Do you even still have that GH4? LOL. AS far as celebrities…. Anders is famous… he was signing autographs for fans the day he met Thomas….

[@Andyax]

Yes! Hehe

[@alexnostalgix]

Man.......1:02 hit way tooooooo hard......... Glad to see you doing well.

[@saviyou]

Great video 😊

A wild Jodi appears!

[@AfroLamba]

Such brilliant inspiring content as always! Keep going :) Looking for anyone in Mumbai, India who wants collaborate on something similar. Get in touch!

[@bonsydev]

These episodes are gold! And they are so important as inspiration for others. You have the skills, work ethic, and personality to create something great. And you got the grit and willingness to take on the risk to start a company - which not many people do. And the fact you are sharing this process with others is nothing less than amazing! I hope many new people find this channel, subscribe, and become a Patreon. You deserve it!

[@Andyax]

Wow, thank you so much Kristoffer!

[@petecondoleon5179]

Did you guys hire sales or senior account manager to source work? How did you source work? This is where i am currently at! Im running back and forth putting on several hats. One day it's outreach to potential clients/ companies, the other day i'm taking on meetings, then on set, etc. The idea is to expand and i feel like i am hitting a wall and capping myself! Please help answer my question and give me as much insight as you can!

[@doceamz7972]

coming from poverty in nyc, started a recording studio/ video production and life is good now 4 years later. I liked and subscribed as this is the first video of yours I watched. just filmed a video for young money!

[@JeezCinematography78]

How did you get clients in beginning of your company..i mean the marketing techniques?

[@aristotle_4532]

The question is: Does that earning cover the time of so many people, the risk, and a reasonable return of investment?

[@cinemaipswich4636]

Gone are the days when movie companies had to hire a Panavision camera and those profoundly expensive lenses. Kubrick was the first director who owned has camera and lenses, and shared some of them with his fellows. Now Directors of Photography can choose several cameras and a vast array of lenses. Indi makers have tools that are indistinguishable from Hollywood, and now they own it.

[@kaicameron6401]

In the US all the time spent on KZbin videos can be categorized as Marketing, Promotion and Sales. All are tax deductible expenses which decreases or can protect any Net Profits we would also instead have to pay taxes on.

[@bekturfilms]

ahahah thabks for your youtube videos guys i am filmmaker in Chicago and you helped a lot!

[@divisionoflabor3070]

Since you don't take profit (which is very sustainable) consider saving to the point of you making movies as a production company. :)

[@woozyyt5573]

very lucrative business. but salary is to big an expense. I wonder if there is a way to outsource some work to poor countries like Pakistan or India. editing seems obvious. but the work of a cinematographer can be outsourced too. some smart guys should figure it out.

[@MorningCoffeeDaily]

Man, you are Pinstripe brother split at born :D from The Bold Type
