As a filmmaker, there are a seemingly countless creative avenues to explore. With so many different styles and different worlds of filmmaking, it’s impossible to be able to master them all.
But as most of us start out our videography journey, due to practicality reasons we immediately fall into a one-man band type production, you know, we are the director, the topside videographer, the drone pilot, the gimbal operator, the sound recordist, the underwater videographer, the fpv pilot, the editor, the photographer, and the colourist. With so many hats to wear videographers starting out inevitably spread themselves so thin, that they fall into the jack of all trades, master of none category.
The 'Jack of All Trades approach is a common place for beginner videographers to find themselves in. As videographers starting out are usually producing content with restricted budgets, and for smaller clients its often impossible to build out a large team of specialised professionals to complete a film job. With these reduced resources it becomes increasingly important for the ideal creator to be able to provide all of the services themselves, as a one man band.
This is by no means a bad thing, and it does provide a really good understanding of how the entire process works, and I’d argue that starting here is actually beneficial in the long run, but should you wish to move onto bigger and better productions this is something that almost all of us have had to deal with at one point or another.
