I will add on the point of the emergency fund is that its also useful to have a separate opportunity fund. its there in an emergency but its primary purpose is to enable you to get that one specific piece of kit or that flight or whatever to allow you to take advantage of a new job/client/opportunity
Love that idea!
I've never caught something this early from you. Awesome!
Same here
First in!
Hi Luc, like your sharing experiences and kinda demystifying the process for many less experienced.
As to the comparing part... I found that what worked for me was not comparing, but borrowing some ideas. Look at it as, and this is what I tell in my circles, we have this unique opportunity of sitting in this largest library ever created on this planet, and it is also a video library. We can see what others have done, and consider if we could use any of their ideas to improve our own ideas of storytelling. I rarely find anything I would like to copy exactly. but often I find something that I could use in a particular situation, in a particular scene. It also helps me to have another look, a different angle on my own visions. Looking from this perspective is not to take away your own creativity, but rather allow yourself to take step back and take a look at larger picture. I found it useful and saving a lot of time in clarifying what I want to show, and how to tell this particular part of the story I am at at the moment. So watching others - yes, but not really comparing, rather finding if I like their ideas, and how I would change them to say my own story. I think it is healthier to our minds than going on a dark side of the force LOL. This way we are not looking at the web as a ground for competition, but rather as an exchange platform, a positive field on which we learn and share. I think you agree with this point of view... Thumbs up for your channel!
Nice timing! I've been binge watching your channel for the last three days since I discovered it. I'm shooting my first documentary project and the information you provide has been vital for all the progress I'm making.
Needless to say I've subscribed.
Thanks Luc, all the best to you.
Best Regards,
Alex
Thanks Alex, glad to have you! Happy shooting!
Luc, I found your channel a couple weeks ago, and it's quickly become one of my favourites. Really appreciate your insights and looking forward to whatever you've got coming up. Thanks!
Thanks man, glad to have you!
Luc, the section with life experiences and comparing oneself really hit deep! Thank you ☀️
Very happy to hear it!
informative video Luc, the filmmaking is more than a job and filmmaking is a team sport sections particularly useful keep 6K and 8K trends at the moment, investigating vlog content as a more regular output. informative content.
Thanks john!
Spot on. Bravo! Thanks for sharing your insights, Luc. With love from Atlanta.
Thanks! Love from Toronto!
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience ! I never realized that my point of view is so common :) spend all the money on gear, constantly comparing myself and thinking that I’ll do all by myself 😅
Echoing the comments from others, I found your channel recently and I'm loving this stuff. Not much of a documentary maker myself but the general filmmaking and gear stuff is super helpful - thank you!
That’s great to hear, thanks for saying so!
You quoted Bob Sieger's Against the wind :-) Thank you for the videos.
Is that the original? That’s better than Rod I think…
@@LucForsyth i think so.
It sounds like you learned what I did also during my 25 years
in the film making business. Enjoying your stories of this crazy
business . Ken Creed
Thank you. Some great thoughts.
Awesome, very good words. Thank you
This one is a great video, great advice. Awesome. Thank you.
10/10 video man. Thank you!
That was solid advice👍
I’ve just subscribed, really agree with all the points you made and I needed to hear them again 🙏
Thanks man, great to have you!
Terrific advice!
Thanks for the ideas
This was great, thank you.
You’re very welcome!
very helpful thank you Sir.
Best advice ever.
Thanks boss 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Any time!
The last lesson is THE most important. Financial stability doesnt sound as cool as camera gear. But it is the difference between those who can stay in the industry for decades and those who enter the industry and bail out and go to a typical job after 4 years when the coolness wears off or times get tough.
Financial stability doesn't always have to be a big savings account either, I get a lot of my financial stability as an 'on staff' cinematographer for a large organisation. All the good staff benefits and regular pay with the agreement that I can take time off whenever to peruse interesting freelance projects and come back the week after back to the staff role.
Well said and very thoughtful...I enjoy your work Luc!
😅You're talking about the emergency fund and ironically I've been contemplating buying an upgrade kit for my pc. And I'm currently going through a dry spell, haha!
Right on, Luc...thanks for reminding me to keep it real. Cheers...
Nice one, glad it was helpful!
What you say is very touching and true, thanks for this video, it helped me to understand more about the world of film, you never win the important is create.
Glad to hear it my friend!
Great advice here 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
👊🏻
@@LucForsyth 👊🏾
Awesome video ❤️🔥
thanks!
Great stuff
👊🏻
Thanks, I agree, super intelligent dude! from Henry Acosta, take care
Thanks Henry!
Emergency fund = life expenses
Urgency fund (separate) = new camera
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS REMINDER
You’re very welcome!
Man I’m just starting out as a videographer and it’s hard not having client work to show people. I’m originally a graphic designer with years of experience there. It’s creative, but not the same. I’m even in a great area for video work (LA), so it must be the way I present myself to potential clients. Any help on this?
Spec projects are the way through that. You have to go out and shoot the work you want so you can prove you can do it. Not easy by any means, but this is the way.
Emergency fund probably the no. 1 thing to keep working long term consistently...

I’m the 700th like…what I win? 🎉
