I needed this. I want to be a videographer and currently saving money for a camera. I started shooting videos with my phone to practice until I have a camera.
It's me now shooting on my phone editing on capcut and posting on whatsapp and Tiktok ❤
My first ever gig I shot with my drone and a friend's iPhone 13 when it came out years ago. Now I own a couple of cameras and variety of lights and mics. The first thing to test drive is your confidence, prove to yourself you can do it and investing will be easier afterwards
Congratulations. I'm still shooting with my phone but will buy my camera soon
I'm still shooting with my phone but will buy the camera before December
You can do a lot of good shots with your phone if you use it properly. The big advantage of a camera is the aperture and shutter speed control. When you can really get a good depth of field, that’s when you get excellent shots with a camera.
Everybody needs a friend like Jason.
We're launching into our full time free lance career this month and we're super nervous but SO so excited!! I was feeling especially anxious about it all today, but then stumbled across this video and you gave me the inspiration i needed! Thank you!
You're welcome! All the best with your journey :)
Full-time lawyer 🙋🏾♂️. Part time photographer 🙋🏾♂️. Getting into videography 🙋🏾♂️.. that's me
“Assume the identity” I felt this. Glad you broke away and started doing what you love
This story is amazing !! The first step is the most important, without him there is no journey !
This video made me really really really smile I even feel teary eyed in a very good way. Congratulations Jono & Jason that was lovely!
Your guys content inspires me. I wouldn’t be where I am without you all.
You inspire us Mr Lago!
I’d like to see more about business - thumbs up for being the only TH-camr to make the note that the TH-cam ad revenue is taxed
Wow, thanks for sharing your journey! I've already taken a big leap by transitioning my career to become a post-production video editor. But I can't shake the feeling that something's missing because I haven't fully dived into learning videography yet. I'm excited about what the future holds, but I know I need to get that videography knowledge under my belt to feel complete. 🙏
Awesome story. I really love how well you showcased all the clips, from the wedding to finally exploring the world.
I love this video because I am currently on a part where I just want to do just that. Thanks for this!
Wow that was lot to me . i am software engineer, photography is my passion
exactly what i need thank you so much as an asian i can relate so much! Keep Growing
So inspiring! Loved hearing about your story. Can't wait to see more from y'all 🔥
Thanks!
That's so awesome, and it's great you've got a partner in the business. Remain united and continue growing. Very inspirational.
I appreciate that you identified the sacrifice your parents made. It says a lot about you. New subscrber here👍
I was scared at first, but now I shoot and do whatever I like. It changed nothing in my work life. I think I need to be more market oriented rather than do what I like
Thanks for this video mate. I just started my journey aswell and I wish I had a friend who was enthusiastic about cinematography and video editing as me. But that won't stop me and i'll get there to the point that i can sau goodbye to my old job and become a fulltime filmmaker. Subscribed because I like your story
you won my heart with this video and my subscription and I am sure we will grow on this platform together. you have inspired me to work more on my videography. keep creating I am here to watch.
Thank you for the support :)
Wow... Thank you so much. This absolutely Beautiful. Greetings from south Africa.
Strong motivation
Absolutely inspiring! I want to be a photographer and videographer. I learned some basics when I studied at university because my major was communication and media. But I was afraid to do this real, and I don't have professional devices. I'm still afraid, but I realized something, too: I have to create with what I have now. And the real situation will be different when I just practice alone. Those will not be perfect and first not that professional maybe. But with practicing and creating with others my skills will sharpen as well.
You wouldn't happen to be Sydney based would you?
@@cyberintervention No, I'm not even from Australia either 😅
Love this! 'Just focus on your own journey'. I would add, ensure you have people around to help you as you focus on that journey. Inspiring! Great work!! Huge Congrats!
Thanks!
This video was incredibly inspiring, Jonah! Your journey from a corporate job to becoming a full-time filmmaker in just three months is truly motivating. As someone on the path of content creation, your story has given me the push I needed to step out of my comfort zone and fully commit to my passion. Thank you for sharing your experience and insights-it's exactly what I needed to hear. Can't wait to see more from you and maybe even join the six-figure filmmaker program! 🙌 #Inspired #ContentCreationJourney
I hope it gave you value to start your own journey!
i love your story so much, thank you for sharing! i feel inspired ☺️
I feel like I'm never gonna be ready, but I will start today.
Thanks for this great video giving a boost of confidence.
subbed!
You're welcome :)
Excellent storytelling bro. Love this video! And congratulations you’re doing great.
bro you're an inspiration.
Wow! I’m inspired by the comments and also loved the video… I am not a lawyer or doctor. I am in sales and dream to make a career I love in film
Making and creating content field
subbed as im on a similar journey
You wouldn't happen to be Sydney based, would you?
OKAY , ILL DO IT !!!!
Awesome video
Funny thing is. I have two relatively nice cameras for photo and video. I have a gimbal. I just don’t have that much time to really do it. But I’m going to this summer.
Only thing I don’t have is a powerful laptop, my MacBook sounds like a jet engine when editing 4K clips.
Fabulous story, i am inspired
Everything you want in life is on the other side of your comfort zone.
STRONG 💪🏾
Loved this video! Thanks guys
Awesome story !
Welcome to the Sony Club :)
Can you guys make a video about photography, please? 😇
So inspiring man !
Lovely story
Wow !! Thank you !! Inspiring 100% congratulations
Very inspiring!! Loved the video :-))
Brilliant.
Hey guys, so you never ran ads?
What I'm really curious is where do you want to take this in the future?
It's one thing to build a local production business (relatively easy), but another to be recognized worldwide. I know this is a video about making the first step, but after that, you don't mention your direction for the future, be that it's one month or one year down the line. Why did you start a cooking channel? How did it come about? These are important details that give your viewers a good example on how to apply the same or similar cases to themselves. Is it something you like? Is it something you're good at? Is it both, or is it something different?
Even if someone takes the first step because you inspired them, it doesn't mean they'll eventually get where you're at. Every impulsive action needs goals to guide the energy behind it. It doesn't have to make sense, but you need something to strive for.
At least that's what worked for me. I don't consider myself to be special, quite the contrary, but every person is different and these are things that I feel like you should have mentioned. And for what it's worth I really enjoyed this your video. It could have been much longer and I still would have watched completely through, but I don't do YT, so I don't really know about algorithms and what not.
How did you find a mentor ?
Amazing video! I leave a subscribe. I want to swap from my sony a6400 to something better with stabilization and start recording more edits with cars, vlogs, commercial videos etc. It's so hard to choose something because there is a lot of cameras in the market
would love to know how you form packages and pricing for different kinds of clients
Awesome👏😊👍
Great video! Subbed
Thanks!
Your editing is 🔥. What transition are you using for your pictures of your family
I have responsibilities now… I'm too afraid to take the first step..😢
Was your shoot in Trinidad and Tobago ? Great story btw
Hi mate, I'm from Sydney, Australia as well. Would you like to catchup sometime?
😮
Good thing you don’t have a family kiddo, this then would have taken you much longer. And you had the finances to fund your business which is where most are lacking. Love your Zeal though keep following your passion!🤙🏻
cool....new wedding shooter here...starting from scratch....thx for the inspiration....
@cakeandpaper
i just started, but.... Color correction and vignette at 2:20!! Ha! Nice Video man!
Amazing to see you excel and that you have followed your heart! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Mesutinho! Excited for our collab.
You guys are a massive inspiration. Big thank You!!!🚀
Thanks for keeping it basic but impactful. I was relieved to see a sub 10 minute video on the subject.
Thanks!
Hey all, hope everyone is doing alright today! Just wanted to let you all know that God loves you all very much and He proved it by sending His only Son Jesus, to die and rise for us, Why? Because the Bible teaches us that we're all sinners in need of a Saviour, who have broken the Laws of God (the Ten Commandments) and deserve hell as eternal punishment. We can't save ourselves, no good deeds can make us acceptable in God's eyes, BUT if we repent of our sins and trust fully in Jesus death and resurrection, we WILL be saved and be FOREVER forgiven!
Subbed. incredible story. I started a little over a year ago and mostly do short form videos on tiktok and various other platforms. I currently work construction, and I've been working at my skills for a while now. I don't know if I'm ready. But I think it's time to take the leap. Thank you for this video.
I AGREE! there is nothing better then doing the job! I can see myself, scare to step out of the comfort zone and ask/shot videos for others. But I shot already some baptisms and 1st communions and I have to say that it was amazing experience! I done a lot of mistakes and when I was editing the videos I seen them and I can point them now, but without going and doing it myself I would never see them, I would never improve on them!
Its crazy how much you can learn from 1 simple job like this. That will cover hours if not months spend watching youtube videos. They are important for knowledge but the experience from actually doing the jobs is far more important.
Very well said :) couldn’t agree more. Sounds like you had a great first shoot
The kindness in these comments is overwhelming. Thank you all!
Much love man from SA 🇿🇦
Congratulations bro 🎉
Thank God I took the first step already
Being raised in an asian household, I feel so related to your story. Thank you for inspiration
Thank you for this... this video found me at the brink of giving up. its the motivation i needed to take the leap. thank you for this
Thanks for sharing! Great story and message
You're welcome :)
🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow Full-time lawyer to videographer, thank you for telling your story
from ireland, past 4 year been tough.
i tell you this now, in 3 months i will work work work and flip the things upside down. thanks to you.
Remember guys, he said he took his first step and then he learnt how to use the camera 😊 and now he's a videographer.
You earned a subscriber dude, such an inspiration❤
Very helpful and inspiring video!
It was lovely meeting you, Jono! This is such a well-made video and I will look forward to seeing more content 😊
4:11 really got caught in 4k with this one
Doesn't require any talent?
This video helps thanks !
This is inspiring, the first step has scared me for a few years
This has made me think of all the things I have done and people told me how I couldn't do it and they misnamed me from being ambitious to saying am proud but the fact is I had faith that everything is possible once you push it. Thank for sharing am happy I now create videos on TH-cam and people love them.
That's great to hear!
Inspirational story guys!
The best!
That's a great video man
Thanks for the inspiration...
Wow mad respect.
Excellent!
4:13 to close to home but true
I loved your sincerity thank you for your tips really helped someone who’s new in the field 🤍
