One of my teachers/mentors taught me a valuable leasson of the realistic side of finding work in any industry and as I've experienced so far it almost always is true. "Sometimes it isn't about what you know, but who you know." Connections people, make them even if you hate it. It gets your foot in the door anywhere, go get what you want.

[@Hazball]

kill your editing career, sure, but these rules really apply to any entrepreneurial ventures. Even philisophically they're a few good rules to follow in well, any, thing your learning really... it feels like this video is using an editing career as an example of classic networking and business mistakes. Banger video as always 🔥

[@michellinstars]

This was so great and also applicable to life in itself! Thank you!

[@felixsmittick9128]

Always a great guidance from your content. Thank you

[@brunobilandzija1823]

Brilliant video! I resonate so much with following your intuition and not accepting something just to pay the bills.

[@monsterlovesstorytelling3095]

Those are great networking and business lessons. Thank you for making this.

[@ShelterDogs]

Quite a video - so good. It starkly contrasts with the fan trailer video that was just two videos before this one. There was a part of me that felt if I learned movie trailer editing, it would be a good stepping stone. But now I'm rethinking things.

[@PogieJoe]

Genuinely very helpful tips!

[@SICRoosterKido]

Thank you!! Great video 🙏🙏

[@franmndz7]

Awesome video. Thank you!

[@laModeTVGC]

Inspired, I watched it twice and may watch it again. I am working full time as a video for a production company, and feel that is only a stepping stone tot were I want to go. I need to learn Avid

[@Rahul-gy3jk]

loved this video just like your other videos I am a senior at a film school in india and I have been watching your content through these past 3 years and the mount of growth i have seen in me as an editor and also as a person is immense and I really really thank you for such viable advice and tips everytime in every video thank you for everything!

[@DavidHarrisGRI]

This is so inspiring! And can be applied to most any industry. Thank you so much! 🤍

[@kaemootu7585]

This was good advice. Thank you

[@surajbansode7582]

Thank u

One of these points was understood by the great character actor Emmett Walsh. He said, “when I walk into an audition, the director has 12 problems. If he can cast me for one empty role, he only has 11 problems. That’s what I provide him.” Mentioned in his NYT obit. In another interview, he mentioned that before he became an actor, he had a college degree in accounting, and his whole life that helped him manage money wisely with the highs and lows of an acting career.

[@brucequinn]

Excellent

[@gossy_new_wave]

Awesome video as always!! Editing is the most important aspect of filmmaking in my opinion, along with story, and as we continue to publish short films on our channel we only hope to improve in this field. We really tried to purposefully edit with our latest Concert documentary that we just posted (if anyone checked it out it would be greatly appreciated! 😁), so thank you so much for all your helpful advice!! 😊

[@FilmRunnerMedia]

There's so much great advice in here, but also all the movie clips you curated were so entertaining, I was thinking "I need to watch this again" right before you said "Watch this video over and over again" 🤣

[@wbbartlett]

Hmm, I make these "mistakes" regularly & have edited on major movies - just see Taken 3 as an example. Some of my best work.

[@Dayvit78]

I follow a blogger known as "Ask a Headhunter" and he gives pretty much the same advice here - especially #2. It applies to business, as well as creative jobs.

[@TitanKnockout]

I’m listening to this in the background of my cooperate job. Damn. Now I’m just sad 😔

[@ChocolateEarthquake]

going to be playing this video on repeat until I've booked my first feature film

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

I like the upbeat tempo he gives with his advice. There is excitement in his strategy and not just a step by step idea. tHanks for the video.

[@markneely5786]

Your lesson from knowing the great Dody Dorn is what this life is all about. Asking for help then helping the next person the same way when its your turn

[@matteoranzato1602]

Great video! It charged me♻️ Could you please talk about where editors can find REAL references (books, blogs, other KZbinrs, movies, you name it…) I thinks there’s a lot to talk about but I don’t know it yet😂

[@Danimally]

I studied for 10 years. Worked for many minor companies. I have never had any opportunity. Now i work in retail. My dream of being a great editor is in shambles.

[@InvisiblerApple]

I'm about to head off to my second day in my first art exhibition. 44 other artists and plenty of curators & collectors. I'll be going around chatting all day :)

[@Diamond-qh5zi]

Half of my problems has been solved by this single video

[@BrownlandPictures]

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@joserangelve]

Wow...I still make some of these mistakes...especially working full time in a place where I can't develop my ideas and solutions...because the productions are very basic, very frequent and under the supervision of people who don't know the issue...and you feel frustrated...it's something to think about...

[@MSeanMcManus]

Yep. I've literally made all those mistakes. Should I just quit now and do something else?

[@SyterPK]

I misstep all of them

[@LeonBosset]

This would have been good info for me 40 years ago 😢.

[@EvandersonReviews]

Strange edit at 7:34

[@feelfreefpv]

This is crap that may seem very sincere. It's just like all those "advice" you get from financial advisors and what not. They wouldn't bother to make such videos if they really had THE ANSWER on what to do, or they would be occupied doing that themselves :)

[@ericrosko]

You are right as a lot of advice can feel trite or pithy. But, no one call tell you "the answer" on what to do to be happy or successful. Even if they try, it would only apply to themselves. People join cults because that person says they have the answer, and it turns out badly. These tips are not "do this thing", but suggestions on approaches to consider. IMO, no matter what, you must try for yourself and figure out what works for you, ask yourself what you really find "cool", and there is a lot of luck in finding a happy and successful career and there is no guarantee. It's important to note that advice from people's lives have a lot of confirmation bias. One person's dream is the stable corporate job, while another one is to be on the road and always hustle for the next contract. The important thing is to figure out what you want for yourself. Luck also plays a huge role in life, and there is no guarantee for reaching your goals even if you do everything right and no one can help you. Good luck though, take that frustration and you can achieve greatness!
