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!

Wassup y’all! I just joined and I’m excited to network and potentially work with everyone should it be in God’s will 🙏🏿
I’m a videographer based out of San Antonio and I’ve been doing video for about 3 years but I’ve been shooting weddings for only a couple of months now. It’s been hard for me to find a community out here in San Antonio, so if anyone wants to grab a cup of coffee or lunch sometime, I’d love to connect!

Question.
So... I'm about to start an edit. First time I've ever had a rehearsal dinner... Some great speeches. I typically edit chronologically.
I cant actually see my using a lot of the 1st day. Not much happened. Would it be odd to use the speeches from the rehearsal dinner throughout the chronological wedding day film? Or will it be distracting that it's not in wedding attire, quite obviously not at the venue...

Not wedding related but has anyone ever shot anything for a police department? I’m being asked to shoot a recruitment video for them, but I’ve never done anything like this. If you’ve done anything like this, what have you offered them as far as approach, deliverables, etc.?

Yo it’s been a while since I’ve posted but just want to share some gratitude. I’m so lucky to have found this academy so early on in my video career. I feel like I skipped a lot of filler video styles and went straight to the butter . Weddings are slowly picking up but I’ve been implementing this style in everything I shoot and I just finished a project for a local live theater that really stood out to me. They have been in the industry and do really amazing shows but have been struggling to get their name out there . They’ve hired multiple videographers and didn’t quite achieve their goal . I pulled up timecode in hand , passing out lavs like candy and interviewing everyone to really build a story. They were shocked with the results and were incredibly thankful and for the first time ever I feel like I “saved” a business with my storytelling . Thanks to you guys , this community of people who choose to go the extra mile to do what a storyteller is supposed to do. Here is the video , critique is welcome but I’m on a high right now so let’s try to stick to praise and fire emojis 😄
