The REAL Reason Working For Free Hurts You
มุมมอง 7114 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
If you're working for free, we assume two things. The first is that you don't have much experience in production. When we're hiring, we're looking for help with the tasks that are overwhelming our team. We're not looking to spend time training people. More importantly, when we're on shoots (particularly fashion walks and events) and there are folks on the production who are working for free, th...
Why Your Show Reel Isn"t Working
มุมมอง 3321 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
If your portfolio or show reel isn't getting the response you're hoping for, It could be because you aren't understanding what producers are actually looking for when they watch your reel. The conventional wisdom is that a show reel or portfolio should be a collection of your biggest, best, baddest and boldest work. But, when we're hiring, we aren't watching show reels to be entertained or to b...
The Questions Freelancers Forget To Ask
มุมมอง 15314 วันที่ผ่านมา
If you’re a filmmaker at the start of your career, there’s a huge question you might have forgotten to ask yourself: What is the difference between your career and your business? Simply put, your career is always in the room with you. If you run your business correctly, though, it can not only function without you being in the room but grow. Furthermore, if you can organize your career and your...

    I see soo much reviews with overheating problem. Do you have any issues?

    • @JJKoester
      @JJKoester 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I have not had overheating issues but I tend to work in cooler environments. That said, the fan is something formidable on the Duet. It doesn't bother me too much when using it but I would totally understand if someone heard it and said it had to come out of their pipeline.

    This is manually copying the colouring of one clip on other clips, isn't there anyway to group them so when you apply one colouring it auto applies to the rest? edit: found it, select clips in colour page, right click, add into a new group, then go up and select "group pre clip"

    I don't get ist - I usually don't show any gear at all in my reel. II mean yes - if there is a DJI mic-brick slam dunk in the shot, but anything else? Are you taking about a BTS reel?

    • @JJKoester
      @JJKoester 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you for the question. Reels frequently come in with a resume or CV that fills in some of those technical gaps. Also, a lot of the reels we watch are from DPs and that information is often included in a lower third along with project title and director. Finally, there is some intuition involved. If you watch enough reels, you get a sense for scale of production pretty reliably. As you get more sensitive to production scales, you realize that the equipment follows the scale pretty consistently. And, if we aren't sure, we inquire.

    It was so easy to get freelance clients back in the day, I literally spent the first 15 years of my career basically ignoring marketing and business. Then several more at an in-house gig. I was just coasting along honing my craft. Now I'm skilled, but old, and trying to break away from the in-hosue stuff. Find myself being passed up by younger designers that focused on marketing maybe even more than their design skills. lol. What a life

    • @JJKoester
      @JJKoester 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks for the comment. The reality is that I'm aging out of a lot of gigs and that's part of the TH-cam channel activity. I'm trying to position myself more publicly as a producer than as a shooter/editor and this seems like a rational direction to try to go. First, writing the essays helps me to put words to a lot of shapeless thoughts that have been floating around in my head. Second, doing it on a public platform seems like a good way to grow my presence as a producer. The marketing side of things never spoke to me and I haven't enjoyed the change in trends where ones ability to run a social media campaign supersedes their ability to do the job. So, I'm right there with you thinking, "I spend the last two decades getting really good at my job and now I'm supposed to post 3 video stories a week and 5 reels if I want to keep my job?" Thank you for commenting. I really appreciate it.

    Davinci Resolve is like a hitting a brick wall; it's a seemingly impassable obstacle, but eventually, it all comes tumbling down. I usually can figure things out, but for whatever reason, Resolve stumped me for the longest time... but once it clicks, it clicks, and I'm left wondering why I was ever confused in the first place...

    Wow, very nice! This seems to work better than Plasti-Dip! I see you did the tops, but not in the verticals. I'm thinking from my experience with Plasti-Dip of maybe doing all inner vertical edges with Plasti-Dip and then the tops and bottoms and outer edges with Flex Seal like you did. I did all the things I should do to show appreciation for the vid. 😁 Thanks for that, lol - gave us a chuckle, as we watch FB pull posts that look like they're suggesting people "do the things..." - great way of putting it.

I’ve been stuck with no success, restarting etc. I formatted the SD card that worked with the L12 to start fresh. Any suggestions? Second problem is I’m not hearing any effects on my vocal mic.

    @charlotteice5704 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'm so happy to have found out about this thing. I'm a technician at a theatre with very minor switching needs, such as switching one screen from a presentation to a camera and back. So far, we've been abusing our Aja Kumo 3232 matrix for this, the result of which is not satisfying to say the least. I was looking at the Atem Mini, but this seems like a much better option for our use as I was worried about how having to choose between SDI and HDMI would affect things. An output from a playback PC is HDMI while the cameras are SDI (or maybe NDI in the future) so the duet functionality is a big deal. We do have a small collection of BM micro converters, but if I can avoid a potential source of errors and latency in my signal path, I do. I also like the more traditional layout. I feel like the T-Bar is the safer option for all those times there just isn't enough rehearsal time to get everything happening on stage to perfection. We also train apprentices and although the Atem Mini is by no means an uncommon device, I still think they can get more benefit from working with something that's laid out just like the big ones. My only worry is the ecosystem, but to be real, the only BM stuff we currently have is the microconverters so it'll be absolutely fine.

    • @JJKoester
      @JJKoester หลายเดือนก่อน

      I wish Blackmagic could see this comment. Their product vertical is fantastic except for that huge HDMI-to-SDI gap in their product line. If you were shooting on Blackmagic cameras, cutting on an ATEM ISO and finishing in Resolve, I'd be more concerned about leaving the ecosystem. The ATEM ties a glass-to-glass pipeline like that together really well but I wouldn't stress too much about swapping an ATEM for a Go-Stream in other workflows.

  • @PartyExpress-

    This device is for live streaming, or live shows. The ATEM Mini is for recording a show, editing it, and fixing it to be perfect to then post somewhere. Totally different uses here.

      I would say that the ATEM ISO (Mini or Extreme) cuts that distinction but the ATEM Mini is pretty similar to the GoStream.
