How to Make FILMMAKING Your CAREER

[@whoschrischu]

Bro that intro didn’t have to be that hard, bro. Knocked the breakfast whiskey right outta my hand

[@EricFloberg]

lol love u

[@TinaMartinez97]

I think what’s hard about getting started is seeing so many talented people (like yourself) be sooo good and being scared to fail.

[@EricFloberg]

Totally hear that. But, there will always be someone way more talented than you, so allowing that to cripple your start will ensure there never is a success story. One step at a time.

[@TinaMartinez97]

@@EricFloberg thanks for your kind reply ✨

[@Bandsatwork]

The good Thing is when you start, Nobody will see it. But you have to start to become better and improve. So just do it. People might say it's bad, people might say it's good. Eventually you just need to improve to the level you want things to be. And when that resonates with others you will attract more and more people.

[@awesomefire7117]

Failing is what makes people great, and the fear of failure is the one thing that will keep you from being great. Failing is all gain.

[@TheTrivingMf]

THE MONEY😭😭😭

[@davidson.mp4]

the "my dad never hugged me" made me burst my biggest laugh at the office

[@EricFloberg]

lolololol

[@CNoel]

Wow. Just wow. The entire video from start to finish was absolute perfection. Thank you for truly being the KZbin dad of filmmaking.❤

[@francescoininghilterra]

I wanted to write a comment, but I will just 100% agree with what you just said :)

[@bananagooz5940]

Bro... i have been on youtube since i was a kid, never have i been so pulled into a video like this. THIS --- WAS --- GREAT

[@drgenuine3357]

I’m just starting my filmmaking career. Just a few days ago I registered for my local college so that I can get the information and skills I need to efficiently do what I want to do, that is shooting movies. You popped up randomly on the top of my recommended, not an OUNCE of coincidence. When I make it, when I get there, when I finally have the delight and privilege to call myself a professional filmmaker; I will come back and let you know that you helped me to grow out of the norm and to be myself, explore myself, and to show others MY creativity. Much thankfulness -David

[@jerrywaynecalloway]

This video is the true definition of perfection. You covered a lot in a moderately short video

[@gamingmoon4265]

I originally clicked on this video for a career project, but wow. I don't think I've ever learned this much in a single video ever before, this has been a wonderful experience

[@carterkapow]

There are lots of youtubers that spend a lot of time not really saying much... this video is not an example of that. The whole duration is packed with amazing advice paired with striking visuals and audio. You have a gift, thank you for sharing it with us all.

[@Murk.mp4]

15:50 this sequence was breathtaking. Amazing video!

[@zoomblaster8657]

I subscribed myself just for the intro

[@Qwixo]

the outro is perfect. says everything without saying anything, just like you mentioned in the previous tip. wow

[@EbrahimTries]

That ending felt so real. I cried this is truly filmmaking thanks for this beautiful video

[@Astral-s6o]

I wanna be a filmmaker. But something that i always like to think about is the art of the equation of our work. I see filmmaking as a complete art, much like music, painting and etc. But our market is completely different. I don't wanna be the guy who edit for others, and lose 100% of the protagonism of the project. It feels like is the only way, but i know that it isn't. Guys, let's fight for this, let's be the protagonists of our art, we have youtube to pay us for our videos, Instagram, and other tools. (There's nothing wrong with working for others, it's just how I feel. Like, i wanna be big, bro. Not just a guy who film stuff.)

[@YannickFilms]

Omg same, I also turned every school presentation into a film project. They asked why I was willing to do the "extra work" but besides the fun I had doing it I'd rather cut out every time I would say something wrong then doing it "live"💯😂

[@StevenSchultz]

Unbelievable, homie. So proud of the effort you put into this & the vision you had for it from the start. One of your all-time best pieces ❤

[@EricFloberg]

Love you, homie. Thanks for your help and always hearing me out when I have a psycho plan.

[@gabrielikeda4058]

Wow! I got literally tears in my eyes in the ending of this vídeo... Deeply inspiring content! Thanks to putting that into the world! I'm starting my career as a filmmaker in Brazil! :)

[@EricFloberg]

Amazing!! So happy it impacted you in that way!

[@ChristopherChaconYT]

That ending was just.. next level. Well done man! As always, absolutely love your content!!! 🔥

[@EricFloberg]

Thanks so much, Chris!

[@andrewstonephotography]

DUDE! This was MONEY! So clear & to the point! I was engaged the whole time! I love the variety of angles & focal lengths with your talking head shot! Also, the ending was BRILLIANT!! Filmmaking can be your CAREER, but should never be YOUR LIFE! Dang man, well-done! :)

[@tyreeseingram9151]

I just love how you tell us you loving running then and telling us to embrace our style the proceed to do a scene running; truly beautiful

[@badtelevisionworldwide.]

that zoom out at 5:20 had me.......like WHAT?????!!!! this is fire especially since i think my mind had familirised itself with abit of a more filled up space shoutout to the composition sheeeesh from a South African

[@Arnout_Slooff]

The 1:18 "One Way" shot 🎥 Love it!

[@ddames]

That ending was amazing bro. Been watching your videos for a while and your tips have definitely improved my film making. Big ups to you man 📌

[@patresinger]

The selflessness of your commitment to making the world a better place, has no boundaries. Love you man.

[@bilalMalic0001]

My mind just blown away by the quality of this masterpiece

[@VisionaryGrant]

This was the absolute best , most grounded inspirational, and Informative film that I’ve seen on KZbin. Thank you for making this. I needed to see it.

[@EYMCRICKETSQUAD]

What I have just seen is ............,............... Speechless 🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐 ... U top my list of fav creators ... PS I have seen ur channel first time randomly

[@Jon_bodhi]

Dude! Not expecting that when I clicked. Eric always comes with that emotional finesse.... This is what we call STYLE baby.

[@lock6725]

bro the outro is just pure goosebumps u inspired me man

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

This is incredible. Well done. Sorry for being late, I wanted to watch this on the biggest screen I have. It was broken though. So I rented a full size theatre and watched it alone in there. Worth the expense. The concessions person came in and also said it was wonderful.

[@Epicframesmedia]

Man, this was one of the most inspirational videos I have watched in a long time! That last scene, Jesus was so good!!

[@robertoguerrra6079]

Finally a guy from Chicago which is good hoped he has classes 🙌 to teach people.

[@itsdavidarries]

I really only like filmmaking to add the art of cinema into my vlogs but DUDE, even if I'm not a working professional one, this really nails what I need!

[@Sara-tp6zd]

you are one of my favorite artists on youtube who share real things not just lies

[@danieldorward]

Always inspiring, mate. Cheers from the other side of the pond!

[@EricFloberg]

Cheers, brother! Thanks for the support!!

[@jg_jgjg]

I have lived in Milwaukee, WI. now for almost 10 years. I grew up by Foster and Ravenswood. Thanks for the nostalgia of my old neighborhood.

[@stanleydukor]

Literally ended the video with a short movie scene. Super inspired by this!

[@clairedorise2525]

My heart at the end WHAT A WHIRLWIND. Brilliant.

[@EricFloberg]

Really appreciate these words, Jesse. Thanks so much.

[@Genobic]

That was breathtaking, informative and beautiful all in one…speechless

[@carlitosbertelsen7522]

This was so incredible to watch, I was engaged the entire time with the way you presented the information and the overall story and feel that you portrayed. I am currently trying to get into film making and photography and this has opened my mind to different ways to approach this journey. I am so excited to see more of the things you create!

[@moazali37]

WoW ❗ the way this video started was so peaceful. In the end I was nervous. What an idea really I am impressed 🤯

[@Christopher_Ray]

Holy INTRO, good LORD. This was fantastic!

[@timovehkaoja]

Loved that ”One way” sign and you going wrong way! That’s what it really is!

[@theyosmusic]

Just wanna say that this is the best advice I've ever heard on KZbin KEEP IT UP MAN!!

[@RyanKao]

AHHH so good. Immaculate frames

[@rominapalaciosmedia]

you’re genuinely an inspiration, eric

[@PrincessAgustin16]

You deserve a million my guy! The quality is thousand percent! Damnnn! Great workkkk!!❤️‍🔥

[@simonalodolo]

Absolutely love this video. So full of practical suggestions. Got lot of work to do! Thanks a lot

[@iamrjdennis]

"So you want to be a filmmaker, huh? You sweet summer child" 😂

[@TheFreedomToBe]

This may be the only video I have ever immediately rewatched. Brilliant! Thank you!

[@liamtompkins3365]

This video answered a lot of the issues I’ve been having with film making process. Thank you. I’m new to the space and you really resonate

[@edwardcrockett]

less than a minute in and I'm very impressed! Bravo on this one Eric!

[@EricFloberg]

Thanks so much, my guy! :)

[@edwardcrockett]

@Eric Floberg Also... Papa Mckinnon 😂

[@sheepsforjesus]

All I want to say is thank you. And genuinely appreciate your films and just encouragement

[@weshouldtlk]

You are so cool. I’m squirming as i watch this. The aesthetics are SO GOOD. Lighting, editing, & inspiring message! Thank you

[@dasilveiraphotography]

Wow what the hell.. This is the first "tutorial" ever to evoke a deep feeling inside. Absolute shocker at the end. Great work man 👊

[@BobbyClements]

watching with enthusiasm and excitement as this video feels meant to be

[@Zyrk01]

This hit deep. I guess the hardest part for me is that my work is not good enough, so I never put it out there. New sub

[@aaronzgarba7880]

This video was just amazing! I have found that on YT, most videos, if not all, that are about how to get a career in filmmaking are almost always the same, at least for me, and seem to always have some complex way to become a filmmaker and don't take into account not all filmmakers are going to go on the same career path as others. This video just hit differently for me than most others. Thank you for making this!

[@conwip_train]

The best video on YT, I've ever watched. And they've got Kung Fu Panda 2 in here!

[@thomasfatinstudio]

So much inspiring from the intro to the end. Thank you for being you and sharing the best of this passion that is film making. ❤

[@BlakeDavis42]

Dude this video was so good, intro was on point.

[@DieselStudios2023]

Thank you for this video! I never had a crew, and most my videos and produced solely by myself. I've been told to just keep making content. So even though I don't have many viewers or subscribers I will continue to create because YOU inspired me! THANK YOU!

[@Brii_Lynn]

Omggggg thank you so much for this video!!! I’m about to start college and I’m going for my bachelor’s in digital filmmaking!!! I just subscribed ❤️

[@rebeccaehret]

I’ve got my first wedding in a little over a week… same here with the $300. I just hope to make a beautiful film for the couple and am grateful for the opportunity. You just need one. Amazing video, Eric. Your creative guidance and authenticity is deeply appreciated.

[@hanspeterboakye]

This is truly a gem of information Eric

[@charles_macmillan]

That ending gave me CHILLS!

[@LifeSurfingDude]

such a beautiful fairy tale about 'career' in filmmaking :)

[@ljtech20]

I’ve picked up filmmaking recently and this video has really inspired me to keep going. Thank you, Eric!

[@jordanadudek]

Love how you casually made this masterclass of a video, albeit five years too late for me. Oh well, failure is a great teacher too 😅. I agreed with every point you made. Needed to hear the part about continuing to create content, as well as always refining your craft.

[@EricFloberg]

Such good feedback. Thanks so much, Jordan! Hope all is well!!

[@tristfularcadia]

That intro has a very apple like feeling, super well done

[@jamessarandis]

At a loss for words. You keep getting better

[@marcomeeuwsen]

Love it. Cheers from The Netherlands!

[@peteradami7544]

Chills... This is a video that made me feel motivated again in making what i love the most. Thank you for this masterpiece!

[@michaeljibrin-roadtothecity]

Wow Eric!! You landed your point masterfully 🙌🏿👏🏾🙌🏿👏🏾 I love it!!

[@bashaphotography4565]

Man you are an inspiration, anytime I feel down on this journey you remind me that I am doing great, I just need to push to another level. Seriously man, I love your work.

[@antoinemurenga]

How have I never seen this video, it’s incredible

[@Phillink]

I literally teared up on that outro. Wow

[@CedricAtor]

As a new father that ending made me tear up man. Just wow, I will forever be a fan of your work 🙌🏼

[@fotografamos4083]

I'm not a film maker (or ever intend to be), but your videos. Dang it. So, so good. I wish my photography was as inspiring as your videos are.

[@davidchambless7556]

Dude. Love your style. Thanks.

[@arthurpujol4431]

Loved the intro, the video itself, until... WOW! The outro was so emotionally powerful. +1 subscriber!

[@mariaulvw]

Wow, what an incredible video! it hit hard - need to step up my game!

[@thuheinnyi]

The last short is pretty good but you make a short scences for not a day version and night scences is good for this BTW thx u for sharing.❤

[@blackleafweddings2442]

that intro was so fly dude !!!!

[@YannickFilms]

My dad never hugged me😂

[@jezersek_production]

I really like how you make some educational yt video short film, starting as a normal work day but ending tragically. I don't know what happened with your son. My condolences!

[@EricFloberg]

All is good! Just a creative exercise, trying to prove the points I was making. Thanks for watching!!

[@FocalMatter]

You are so inspiring… honestly just wow … I really need to create more

[@kevinunger]

More on the photo end but I love & use Sprout Studio as my CRM. It's great!

[@EricFloberg]

I've heard great things about that one too!

[@CAMAS_7]

thank you Eric. this is the most straightforward advice piece I think I've seen on this platform. brilliant ending.

[@mohammed-Ihsan]

Amazing!!

[@charlierobertson1004]

Wow, just wow. Thanks for lighting my spark for filmmaking ! I’m always fascinated but too afraid to attempt anything but I kept that passion and that dream for this long. So glad I stumbled on this video. I currently shoot recap videos for a summer camp in Wisconsin

[@EricFloberg]

Loving these types of videos. Inspiring, fun, and most importantly based on real experience. Keep up the good work Eric.

[@EricFloberg]

[@GeorgeSif]

You son of a ... ! Dude. So good. Goosebumps. KZbin reaching the next level. Storytelling reaching a new level.

[@EricFloberg]

Thank you so much, George!

[@TedPatrickBaird]

Thanks for the tips! Just landed my first wedding for $500. Still in disbelief that I can actually get paid for my creativity. You've been the biggest influence in formulating my style. Keep going!

[@EricFloberg]

Let's go!! So exciting! Keep getting after it!!

[@patooberuc6382]

man, this is such valuable and useful information even though I have been running my business for the past 3 years. Incredible work

[@EricFloberg]

Thanks so much & thanks for watching!!

[@xuhuiyuanxu]
