Hey everyone,

I'm a filmmaker that works in college athletics, but looking to go full-time freelance this summer. I'm excited, but a bit nervous of the unexpected! What do you all think is the best way to find clients that fit your niche, as well as, how far out in advance should I be booking clients in order to stay consistently busy?

I've attached a link to a special day & story that I worked on this summer, feel free to rip it apart! Any kind of advice is of help, thank you all -- happy to have found this space, & looking forward to being part of this community.

Hey everyone!

I’m considering investing in 8 VB99 V-Mount batteries. I’ll use 4 to power my cameras and 4 for my lights. I’ve been testing and calculating runtimes, and everything seems to check out. My goal is to simplify my power workflow.

For those of you with experience using VB99s or a similar setup, do you think this plan makes sense? Any potential issues I might be overlooking? I’d love to hear your thoughts or advice before making the purchase!

Thanks in advance!

I wanted to share a wedding interview sample clip I recently worked on, and I think this group would appreciate the content. I love talking shop, so if you have any questions or want to chat about workflow, gear, or your own process, feel free to reach out. I’m always excited to hear what’s working for others too.

Just wanted to share another interview snippet here. Same setup as the previous one. Anyone else willing to share their work/clips? I love seeing different setups and learning what works for others too.

This is one of my favorite looks and it’s a LUT included/pre-installed with DaVinci Resolve (Kodak 2383 D55).

I’ve been posting very short clips like these on my Instagram, so here’s my shameless plug 😁: @heydannysong

Where Do You All Find Good Editors?

This year is the year where I actually start to build a business out of my filmmaking and the first thing I want to start outsourcing is editing. Does anyone have any experience finding a solid editor who can execute a documentary/Reality TV style vision?

I’m so nervous. I’m about as much of a beginner wedding filmmaker as you can be lol. I vowed to myself this year I would start scheduling weddings again. I have 3 on the books which is awesome for me! At the same time I’m terrified because I don’t have the gear I need, I don’t know what all I need and I just can’t grasp the audio portion of it all 😣. I’m trying to accomplish this documentary style so that that’s what I’m marketed as but I feel overwhelmed.
