Should you do it? Owning Operating A Media Business | Sony Alpha Event | FCPX Masking Hack | Vlog 3

Should you do it? Owning & Operating a media business is not for the faint of heart. I knew from an early age that I had what it took (Or so I thought?) to run a business. 6 years in, and I give you my honest opinion on why it was the best decision I ever made!
Plus I visit the ‪@vistek‬ ‪@SonyAlphaUniverse‬ event in #toronto #canada at ‪@torontomet‬ . Talking candidly about owning / operating a media business, and showing how to mask an object in FCPX in 3 seconds I wish I knew this sooner)!
