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.

[@nice_guy_o_o]

THE MONEY😭😭😭

[@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 :)

[@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

[@davidson.mp4]

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

[@EricFloberg]

lolololol

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@EbrahimTries]

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

[@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"💯😂

[@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.

[@Qwixo]

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

[@Arnout_Slooff]

The 1:18 "One Way" shot 🎥 Love it!

[@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! :)

[@Jon_bodhi]

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

[@ChristopherChaconYT]

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

[@EricFloberg]

Thanks so much, Chris!

[@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.

[@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

[@ChaseMarcello]

Why has nobody talked about the ending of this video. What have I just witnessed. This is complete random beauty

[@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!

[@lock6725]

bro the outro is just pure goosebumps u inspired me man

[@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 📌

[@bilalMalic0001]

My mind just blown away by the quality of this masterpiece

[@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

[@PrincessAgustin16]

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

[@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.

[@danieldorward]

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

[@EricFloberg]

Cheers, brother! Thanks for the support!!

[@zoomblaster8657]

I subscribed myself just for the intro

[@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!

[@patresinger]

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

[@Epicframesmedia]

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

[@timovehkaoja]

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

[@EYMCRICKETSQUAD]

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

[@Sara-tp6zd]

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

[@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 👊

[@theyosmusic]

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

[@clairedorise2525]

My heart at the end WHAT A WHIRLWIND. Brilliant.

[@EricFloberg]

Really appreciate these words, Jesse. Thanks so much.

[@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!

[@Christopher_Ray]

Holy INTRO, good LORD. This was fantastic!

[@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 😂

[@moazali37]

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

[@Genobic]

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

[@TheFreedomToBe]

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

[@RyanKao]

AHHH so good. Immaculate frames

[@weshouldtlk]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@DouglassVisions]

9:51 this part really resonated. I'm on a filmmaker journey too, its a bit... tricky sometimes with self doubt and procrastination, but you are totally right. I'm glad there's people like you making videos. thank you.

[@sheepsforjesus]

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

[@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" 😂

[@stanleydukor]

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

[@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.

[@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 ❤️

[@ColinandSamir]

Dope

[@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.)

[@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. ❤

[@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.

[@peteradami7544]

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

[@robertoguerrra6079]

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

[@charles_macmillan]

That ending gave me CHILLS!

[@hanspeterboakye]

This is truly a gem of information 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!!

[@ljtech20]

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

[@rominapalaciosmedia]

you’re genuinely an inspiration, eric

[@jamessarandis]

At a loss for words. You keep getting better

[@tristfularcadia]

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

[@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

[@YannickFilms]

My dad never hugged me😂

[@behystudio]

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

[@EricFloberg]

Thanks so much!!

[@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!!

[@BobbyClements]

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

[@BlakeDavis42]

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

[@Phillink]

I literally teared up on that outro. Wow

[@haruukishi]

I’m a 16 year old that wants to be a director/author so bad. I watched this video for some tips and inspiration, and I’m glad to say that I was inspired. If i’m being honest, I’ve heard most of these tips before- but somehow this video really helped them stick to me. I guess that’s the job of a filmmaker after all. Leaving a message and helping it stick to the watcher! I don’t have the best camera or equipment, but I have it better than other people. I have a canon rebel t7.. I think that’s what it’s called. But I’m having such a hard time getting it right. I don’t have any sound equipment and the only editing software I’m really good at is alight motion. So, if anyone’s reading the comments trying to find someone to relate to and you happen to relate to my comment- hi! I know we’ll make it. I’m really excited to explore this journey.

[@LiminalityFrame]

Hey! I’m trying to become a director as well! I’m 17, so maybe we’ll make a movie together one day!

[@niklashampinen]

Beautiful, inspiring work as always Erik. I've been doing photography professionally for few years now and wanted to start doing some films too for the past year or so. Just put out my first video up on KZbin couple days ago and absolutely stoked to get more coming in. Thank you for the constant inspiration and beautiful work.

[@HugoStevenette]

Same story here!

[@KarimAmerStudio]

Why are you doing this to us man ?! The ending was phenomenal, My god thank you for everything, appreciated brother. ❣

[@arthurpujol4431]

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

[@LifeSurfingDude]

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

[@CAMAS_7]

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

[@antoinemurenga]

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

[@costella-design]

Ok, of all the creators I follow, you are the MOST inspiring to me. Yep, there I said it, and it's totally true. What an ending - I still have goosebumps.

[@michaeljibrin-roadtothecity]

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

[@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!!

[@CedricAtor]

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

[@filmbenjamin]

this video left me infomed, inspired, encouraged, and literally "wow"ed at the end of it. very well done eric. keep it up dude!

[@EricFloberg]

aw man. Thank you so much, ben!! Means a lot

[@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

[@conwip_train]

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

[@marcomeeuwsen]

Love it. Cheers from The Netherlands!

[@alexwedits]

I've never seen any of Eric's other videos, first time viewer, and this is absolutely amazing! Such great advice and the production quality is mind blowing!

[@luis.hermosillo]

Dang it! I was just trying to enjoy my coffee and start my day editing and that ending was so powerful. Eric always screwing with my feelings. Great work man, always feel challenged and inspired by you. Thank you keep it up

[@MarcVilardell]

That ending was fantastic. First time viewing your videos, very inspirational. Keep up!

[@blackleafweddings2442]

that intro was so fly dude !!!!

[@BluffCoast]

Chapter Eight: watch incredible, creative, free content like this to draw inspiration and learn new things. Incredible as always Eric!

[@chadmeeks1]

Homie you knocked it out of the park with this video! So much beneficial information! That ending is crazy 👀

[@EricFloberg]

Appreciate you, dude. Thanks for listening to me ramble over and over during the whole process of making this dang thing. :)
