Yo Justin, 

You can post the link to the requested intro song for Jillian wedding here bro. Whenever you can. Thank you for the valuable group call yesterday. Walked out a completely mindset shift on delivering value.

I have never felt this bad in my life! I can still barely talk, however, I finally feel like I am on the mend. Therefore, I have moved both workshops to next week. The group mentor session will be held Tuesday at 3pm CST and 'Creating Your Shot List' will be held on Thursday at 7pm CST. Hope you all can make it for these days and times. Can't wait for our mentor session Tuesday. See you then!

Hey all! Unfortunately my throat is so sore, I can barely talk. We went ahead and pushed all workshops back a week BUT I will be holding a group mentor session in place of this week's workshop on Friday at 3pm CST. My apologies for the changes and I will see y'all then!

Hey mate. Just watched the latest live.

I dunno how many I'll make due to the tjme diffence and as to answer you latest question of "how busy are you guys"

... busy man. Its great. I feel blessed. But I feel like I'm drowning as I'm not full time yet. The sorting, culling and edits are overwhelming. And I'm not even applying everything you're teaching yet. I'm struggling, to be honest. 

I do have a question, if I can't make the next live... would you be able to answer it on it? As it maybe helpful to us all. 

1) I have 6 microphones. I try to utilise them all. But although I don't have too much push back when I'm putting them on, I can usually talk them into it... throughout the day, as I sit back and edit all I'm getting is... "I'm microphoned BTW", "Careful what you say, Im microphoned", "oh S*** they got that on tape", "when can I take this microphone off".

I back myself that I can work the room enough that I can charm them in person. It's the candid moments I'm trying to capture that they JUST DONT SEEM TO LET GO. Forget. Be natural. It's frustrating.

I recently pulled the trigger on a 3 pack of deity TC-1 timecode units. While doing some research as to what microphone system to pair them with, I came across the deity PR-2 that is expected to launch in September. The only thing you need to know about these units is that they will record 32bit, sync timecode wirelessly and have 30 hours of continuous battery life. All of this in a much smaller footprint than the BP-TRX.

I don’t know the pricing yet, but I intend to get a fleet of these as soon as they’re on market. I’m interested to hear everyone’s thoughts on this, especially in comparison to the BP-TRX.

We found a video that was hiding! If you didn't already find it through the search bar, then here's a new one for you in a new category, 'Camera Techniques'. Also, we will start a poll soon to see what live workshops y'all would like to see next! Stay tuned.

Just a heads up, Diety has a sale this week and the TC-1 (3-pack) is a little over $50 off. I think they only took off $20 for the 1-pack. I was really hoping for a better deal on these. 😂
