Just subscribed. Thanks for sharing all these gems! I’m just getting into videography so I’ve got a long journey ahead. So happy to learn from experienced people like yourself 🙏
Awesome advice. I agree! Sometimes I put off jobs because I think I have more time than I actually do. Or I wrongfully prioritize my personal filmmaking work over actual jobs. You earned a subscribe!
I just burned myself promising deliverables, and realistically, even with many late night to early morning hours spent working, I couldn't get it done. The client was upset, I apologized, and life goes on. Since even before then, I will outsource some of the editing, depending on my workload, to get things done. That was the only and the last time that'll happen.
Any client that expects to have you filming the next day, is clearly not concerned with the quality of the project, that just want a fast result. Are they even asking for a quote beforehand. I’ve been doing video production for 18 years, you need to take control, and train your clients to expect a reasonable turnaround time. When you take the project, give them dates that they can expect delivery and clearly defined terms and conditions. I refuse any project that arrives with unreasonable turnaround.
My turn around has always been max 30days. It helped to set that out the gate when I started. I never had any complaints,plus they were happy because I always delivered before then.
Great advice my brother! Back in the day when I was a professional photographer and a professional filmmaker, this was a valuable lesson that I learned during that time.
Great advice. At any point in the videography or photography business, this is extremely valuable to stay sane and have a healthy life. Thanks for sharing what we all think about all the time but struggle to action at times.
If you can't outsource, schedule time to edit and stick to it. If a client calls, say I'm booked Tuesday but I can do Wednesday. Many clients are usually flexible to schedule filming. Or if you have to lose a little sleep at the beginning that's entrepreneur life. Crush it until you can afford outsourcing.
I needed to hear this. Ive been doing same day turnaround for the last 2 years. In the last 4 months its really been killing me because ive grown my business. A few days ago i told a long time client i wasnt going to be able to get them their video in 3 hours and they were mad lol
@@TheRealJonathanArdila when I didn’t have a busy schedule I didn’t need to set boundaries. It you’ll slowly get busier and that’s when you’ll wanna make sure you speak up.
Great vid. I found myself flipping something next day after event, but only something minimal. Like a quick clip for only client to stay relevant in a certain function they are in. Hopefully this doesn’t bite me.
@@Semesem_ oh no!!... Weddings are also different! Weddings is 2-3months depending on how many weddings I have within that month. 2 weeks is basic run and gun filming and editing

@@TonyJSchiavone wrongfully prioritize is a big one for me sometimes too. Welcome to the fam 🙏🏽

Only by experience do we realize what we would've done different. Great job on the perspective shift

@@YcMdattGUY it’s almost like they don’t care about our well being sometimes and or expect us to be editing on the drive home
I'm new to this channel, but you just earned a subscriber!! Good insight as I'm in the process to go full-time!!!! Thanks

@@MrLucrativethought even if it does you can learn and move on. Do whatever you feel is best at the moment
@@Semesem_ Thanks.
Great video
@@ZaoStrength I appreciate it
2 week Minimum ! Any sooner you have to pay for Rush Delivery. Unless it’s real estate .. that’s 2days .
@@quayvision yeah for weddings that definitely is still pretty fast . But it is different for real estate for sure
@@Semesem_ oh no!!... Weddings are also different! Weddings is 2-3months depending on how many weddings I have within that month. 2 weeks is basic run and gun filming and editing
@@quayvision that’s what I was saying. Two weeks is fast for a wedding
@@quayvision but I know you could speak to
This subject for weddings
Hire a editor
Editors are garbage. It’s not that simple.
or you find work with trusted editors and pay then a fee just to edit the content ?
@@seedproductions8789 not every job requires me to hire an editor . It’s always about time and workload
Appreciate the advice bruh, thank you for this 💯🫡
