May I vent here? 😤

This year, I knew it was year to step my game up! I ordered two brand new Deity PR2s along with a lens. Both items were scheduled for delivery yesterday and required a signature.

I got the email saying they were delivered, and guess what? No package in sight! To make things worse, someone else signed for my package!

Has anyone else had to deal with something like this?

Which follow modes do you all use?

I've only ever used Pan follow (PF). But just out of curiosity, does anyone have any creative shots outside of PF they'd be willing to share some insight on?

Just a quick reminder that our mentor calls happen every third Wednesday of the month at 11am Central Time. I’ll be scheduling these for the entire year today, so stay on top of it! Keep an eye on the director huddles community tab for the link each month. Available for paid members. Let’s keep pushing each other to grow and thrive!

I’m bringing the stuff I get asked in my DMs here. I posted Alex Gerred film on my story and got about a 50/50 split. So many people are still under the impression it can only be done with a team of 20.
Who films solo here primarily?

Blessings, everyone!
A huge shoutout to Justin for creating a positive space for all creators. I’m excited to continue being a student and learning from everyone.

My name is Bruce, and I’m a videographer based in the Washington, DC area. I have a quick question: I’m one click away from purchasing the Deity PR2, but I wanted to ask for some advice first. Would replacing my DJI Mic 2 be an upgrade? Also, can the PR2 connect to a soundboard?

Thank you in advance for all your feedback and answers!

I’m loving the growth so far! Be sure to download the app if you’re a iOS user.

Side note… Who’s still against using timecode? 👀

Hey there! Currently in the White Mountains of NH trying to build up my clientele. I just moved from Rhode Island. Any tips on networking in a new location?! I love outdoor, adventerous, and woodsy weddings but also don’t mind the fancy ones here and there. I’ve been taking a more documentative approach and my goal is to integrate more interviews in my videos for 2025. Great to be a part of this!🙂
