5 Lessons to Improve Your Life as a Filmmaker in 2024

[@shotmakermedia]

Being in a position in your career to say no to projects is definitely a good place to be. I struggled this year with saying yes to too many things and paid for it through stress and a toll on my physical health. Definitely settings boundaries in 2024 and learning to plan better while saying no to things. Thanks for this man.

Good luck in 2024!

Being a good listener also reflects on our projects, on our team workflow and how we deal our relationships. This is a very good advice Gian! Thanks for sharing so much passion with us. Good luck for this new year, I hope you will have enough time to spend on your passions and with your friends & family!

I feel you bro! Having passion for different avenues of creativity can be hard to manage, but there is something about it all that can make you feel whole at the same time hahaha. For me, I want to focus more on developing my voice as a creative, spend more time on making KZbin videos and developing more of my passion projects.

[@Rasmusleophoenix]

I’ve shot projects this year I should have said no to. My heart wasn’t in them but I did them anyways mostly because I needed content for my reel. Saying no is hard but it’s something I’m getting better at now for sure. Thank you for making this video. It’s exactly what I needed too hear♥️

[@carlostigs]

Glad you enjoyed it

You are dope man. Ive enjoyed watching your journey. One of the most humble and talented DP's ive had the privilege to learn from. Thanks for the gems! Looking forward to what 2024 brings you!

[@carlostigs]

I appreciate that thank you

[@ubunifuarts]

As for me, what I've learnt is sticking to my guns when it comes to executing my creative visions... It's also okay to creatively steal from many sources that resonate with you, and add your twist on it... In addition, obsession on the pursuit of my craft, which is making films, is something that I will be doing more of next year... All the best in your endeavors moving into 2024, and On with the War of Art... Cheers🎉

[@carlostigs]

Best of luck to you too

[@willywill48]

Great job young man!!....

[@WhySteve]

Man I can relate to ALL of this! Especially the people pleaser thing. It's comforting to see we're not alone! 2024 is the year of the "No, Man" 😅 Not sure if it's a good or bad idea just yet, but I've been working on being more legitimate in my videos, and my "appearance". Why put up a front to get clients you don't want to work with, if I can be my true self and collaborate with people that share the same views as myself. At least, that's the plan haha. Great video like always man and keep up the amazing work!

[@africanwildlifeonline]

Thank you for your thoughts and guidance. My 5 cents worth... In "conflict" situations, sometimes stepping away for a bit before reacting /answering prevents a person from overreacting or making hasty judgment calls that ultimately force a terrible escalation in said conflict... Be safe and see you in 2024🙏
