Edit: I had a realtor friend message me and said to put together a promotional video that she could send to her realtors and post in a realtor group. The only problem is I haven’t done any home tours to make a promotional video lol what should I do?
Hey yall, I’m looking for ideas for services I can provide to raise funds for better equipment. My main focus is obviously weddings, but what are some small things I could do to make quick cash for equipment upgrades? I posted in a bunch of groups earlier offering to do home walk through videos for realtors but haven’t received any response. Any advice helps!
What’s Your Favorite Focal Length to Film With and Why?
Bonus Points if you guess Justin’s!
Hey all! Just joined up. 🤗 Hope you're all doing well.
Question - The recent video from Justin Porter said he was putting something up on connecting Zapier and Chat and email - is that up and if so, where? I couldn't seem to find it.
Thanks!
Yall… the smile on my face when I got asked for my media badge. 😁😁
YES SIR, RIGHT HERE SIR! 🫡🤣
Just joined, and wanted to post over in here that I don't even have a wedding on my books until May. I want to really learn this style of editing as prep work, and so I'm willing to edit one or two videos for people completely free, if you're willing to take a chance. If you like what I can deliver, I'm open to a more long term relationship.
I'm also really looking to travel more, so I'd love to come second shoot with some people all around the country, and the only compensation I'd ask is that you cover travel. I just switched over to an R5C rig, and it needs to be run through its paces.
Getting really tired of using Google Drive (it sucks). Are there better options? I already use VidFlow for deliverables to clients, but I still need an option like Google Drive.


Pr-2’s came in! Outside of my camera, I have never spent much money on equipment. I vowed to take my business more serious this year and this is the first step. I’m excited to see what God does and how far I’ve progressed by the end of the year!
I can’t believe Justin Porter hasn’t posted anything about the Z-mount RED cam 😀
I’m so tempted to get a RED camera just so I can use my E-mount lenses with an adapter!
