It's pretty bad. ESPECIALLY with Adblock and RUclips vanced, lots of potential income has gone down the drain. Hopefully RUclips does something about this eventually...
multiple factors in this, they live in norway, cost of living there is really high, also Adsense doesn't pay well for Norwegians, Americans and British channels pay more and you can definitely live off the revenue.
@@AlpsLifee It's not that Adsense doesn't pay well in Norway. It depends where your views come from. In fact on a per-ad basis Adsense pays more per Norwegian viewer, but there's just not the volume here. I'm in Norway myself, but most of my views come from the US, Canada, and the UK.
Love watching these episodes guys. It feels like this should be on Netflix - the quality is so high and the longer form is refreshing for RUclips. I also like how you don't rush your edits. You take time between each segment, it's very relaxing to watch.
Its horiffing how youtube is slowly dying..Videos are no longer shown to the subscribers.Revenue is pretty Low compare to the views.I miss the times when youtube wasnt saturated and if you a upload a video. It would get thousands of views in minutes and the revenue was fair.I miss the times when the views came from the subscribers
you guys are so likable, humble and down to earth. to make a video like this, without the usual bragging one can see on other filmmakers channels, speaks for you.
Thanks for being so transparent with us, guys! We really appreciate it! And, this is seriously so inspiring to watch! Thanks for taking time out of your schedule for making these kind of videos!
I hadn't watched and for a while and suddenly got this video recommended. I'm about to start a film company myself and was totally lost. Never imagined such an incredible entire freaking series existed. What an amazing guy !!!!!
Thank you for showing me and giving me motivation. You have no idea how much I needed to see this today! I am planning on moving to to my GFs country and was trying to figure out ways to sustain myself as a freelance filmmaker. I felt low and hopeless because I thought it will be a impossible challenge, but like the video says .... we all have challenges we just need to know how to manage them. Thanks a lot guys. I have been watching your videos since the start. Love it
Such brilliant inspiring content as always! Keep going :) Looking for anyone in Mumbai, India who wants collaborate on something similar. Get in touch!
These episodes are gold! And they are so important as inspiration for others. You have the skills, work ethic, and personality to create something great. And you got the grit and willingness to take on the risk to start a company - which not many people do. And the fact you are sharing this process with others is nothing less than amazing! I hope many new people find this channel, subscribe, and become a Patreon. You deserve it!
I would of been one of those three people that lost their full-time job lol. It's been years since I've watched one of your videos. Cool to be back (had to resubscribe with my new account).
I had tears in my eyes watching this as our production company is in the same position at moment. We are a team of four "Thiqa Media. " We are Film Production Agency that is also looking to expand into the digital marketing space. The reason is that our social media management arm of the business saved us whilst going through covid in Australia. Watching you all grow not just through your successes but also through all the challenges is extremely inspiring and unbelievably relatable. Thank you!
coming from poverty in nyc, started a recording studio/ video production and life is good now 4 years later. I liked and subscribed as this is the first video of yours I watched. just filmed a video for young money!
Did you guys hire sales or senior account manager to source work? How did you source work? This is where i am currently at! Im running back and forth putting on several hats. One day it's outreach to potential clients/ companies, the other day i'm taking on meetings, then on set, etc. The idea is to expand and i feel like i am hitting a wall and capping myself! Please help answer my question and give me as much insight as you can!
I’ve been a huge fan of you guys since the start of 2018. And seeing Jordy just brought a huge smile on my face. You guys are my inspiration and I wish to start my own film company someday. Thank you for the content.
In the US all the time spent on RUclips videos can be categorized as Marketing, Promotion and Sales. All are tax deductible expenses which decreases or can protect any Net Profits we would also instead have to pay taxes on.
Gone are the days when movie companies had to hire a Panavision camera and those profoundly expensive lenses. Kubrick was the first director who owned has camera and lenses, and shared some of them with his fellows. Now Directors of Photography can choose several cameras and a vast array of lenses. Indi makers have tools that are indistinguishable from Hollywood, and now they own it.
very lucrative business. but salary is to big an expense. I wonder if there is a way to outsource some work to poor countries like Pakistan or India. editing seems obvious. but the work of a cinematographer can be outsourced too. some smart guys should figure it out.
Thank you very much for your dedication to RUclips videos! I Love hearing perspectives from your journeys, and getting insights into the reality of film making
You need to charge like double what you currently charge! 50% of income to salaries divided by five people is less than 40k a year. With your talent, skills and teamwork you're services are worth way more than that.
Since we earn more then $30k (the title means that this number is the absolut lowest or else we loose money), we also invest in other stuff. So salary is not 50% of 30k.
Nifty. So you were able to keep your company by firing three people initially... sounds like a regular, all-business-first-at-all-costs model. That's a great gift in a nutshell for the three new people, because now they know... I mean, they're full-time with part-time smiles, but they understand, it's really about the two guys at the top. I wonder what will happen when the next dip happens and it's only you two: who will win then?
No one has ever been fired. Don't know where you got that from. We all worked freelance until we were able to hire. We went from 1 to 5 employees in 1 year.
Sykt bra video Anders, blir inspirert av dette. Er det mulig i fremtiden å hjelpe til hvis dere trenger folk deltid eller fulltid? Likte den delen med Jordy 😅 Kjekt å høre at dere gjør det så bra!🙂
Hi dear fellow creators I was working in a production company here in Dubai as a business development manager/DOP I just started as a freelancer as my first step to make my own media house. And it was very inspiring and useful thanks for making this and God bless you for future endeavors 🙂
Very inspiring guys! I stumbled onto your channel today for the first time and I'm very glad I did. This video in particular resonates very well with me, as I've been acting as a sole proprietor in filmmaking since 2017 but started to do more jobs with a friend of mine a couple of years ago. We are now looking to expand our business, so watching this video almost gave me the chills. Subscribed! Hälsningar från grannarna i öst :) /Fredrik
Really glad for you guys, Watch all of Morton's fantastic time lapses and all your fantastic videos Andyax, a BIG hats off to all staff for great efforts...AWESOME videos...PERIOD....
I really like the approach you have on these videos, very honest and clear. I regret not having visited the studio while I was living in Oslo last year.
Fantastic and honest breakdown of the financial side of running a production company. Personally, I have been working in digital marketing and consulting for the past years, but started getting into freelance film & commercial production this year. For someone starting out, would recommend joining a production company or freelance?
Thanks for being so open about business Things. I think that is the Most scary Part die creatives. Congrats for doubling your revenue every year. How did you do that? More clients? Higher prices?
OMG this video is simply amazing. I have a music production studio and can relate to this so much! Thank you for sharing your workflow! Love from Brasil.
Thank you so much for sharing all this, guys!! Been following Andyax for years now, it's very cool to see the evolution. Very inspiring for me too. Wish you all the best, keep up the good work!!
I really love to hear theses stories. As a part-time filmmaker / photographer I've been growing more and more every year in a small city. I still work a full-time job so it's a challenge but one I enjoy pursuing till hopefully I can make a transition to full-time production.

A wild Jordy appears out of nowhere!
People who didnt watch making a film company are missing alot.Literally my best series on youtube so far
True, I know there are pretty busy but I wish they could continue the series by at least a video a month
So true very underrated series
I agree. One of the best.
True
Agree 100%
Loving the cameo of Jordy! Great content as usual from VJUS!
It’s scary how RUclips revenue has just evaporated for many creators. It used to be a much better revenue source.
It's pretty bad. ESPECIALLY with Adblock and RUclips vanced, lots of potential income has gone down the drain. Hopefully RUclips does something about this eventually...
Supply and Demand. Everyone and their dog is uploading crap to RUclips that nobody watches. Someones got to pay for that.
multiple factors in this, they live in norway, cost of living there is really high, also Adsense doesn't pay well for Norwegians, Americans and British channels pay more and you can definitely live off the revenue.
@@AlpsLifee It's not that Adsense doesn't pay well in Norway. It depends where your views come from. In fact on a per-ad basis Adsense pays more per Norwegian viewer, but there's just not the volume here. I'm in Norway myself, but most of my views come from the US, Canada, and the UK.
Not true. Target the right audience and the money is decent.
Love watching these episodes guys. It feels like this should be on Netflix - the quality is so high and the longer form is refreshing for RUclips. I also like how you don't rush your edits. You take time between each segment, it's very relaxing to watch.

Surprising RUclipsr cameo! Hahaha ...
Thanks for being so transparent with us, guys! We really appreciate it! And, this is seriously so inspiring to watch! Thanks for taking time out of your schedule for making these kind of videos!
Is there a month that ended without you getting a single client? Like complete zero
Two best friends of the small business owner: A CPA and a lawyer.
I hadn't watched and for a while and suddenly got this video recommended. I'm about to start a film company myself and was totally lost. Never imagined such an incredible entire freaking series existed. What an amazing guy !!!!!
And HONEST about it too! 😊
GH4ISGOOD…. Do you even still have that GH4? LOL. AS far as celebrities…. Anders is famous… he was signing autographs for fans the day he met Thomas….
Yes! Hehe

Wow, thank you so much Kristoffer!
I think in English we call this a "video production company," whereas "film" implies cinema.

How did you get clients in beginning of your company..i mean the marketing techniques?

Since you don't take profit (which is very sustainable) consider saving to the point of you making movies as a production company. :)
17:28 We wouldn't make an advertisement for Al Qaeda - Morten, 2021

Thanks for the detailed breakdown, there's a lot to take away from your experiences so we appreciate it a lot!
Much Love
The question is: Does that earning cover the time of so many people, the risk, and a reasonable return of investment?
Man, you are Pinstripe brother split at born :D from The Bold Type
Great video guys. And as usual thank you so much for your efforts and for continuing to inspire your fellow filmmaking community.
very lucrative business. but salary is to big an expense. I wonder if there is a way to outsource some work to poor countries like Pakistan or India. editing seems obvious. but the work of a cinematographer can be outsourced too. some smart guys should figure it out.
I've watched this channel for years, absolutly first rate, love it!
Thanks for the inspiration and all the great videos. Wish you all the best!
When they say 10K+ projects, are they refering to the production budget or their fee?
do people realy pay that much for video , in Greece you tel them 300 euro , for basic video and they tell you budget is 100 ha ha
Jody lol I’ve always want to see a video with these guys they should do a Calab

Great video 😊
13:07 pretty sure this scene is worth 10x times more after the latest Cinecom departure 😢
that jordy cameo was amazing! & all the best for future!
can you explain how is it possible to earn money out of timelapse videos?:)
Hail from Reykjavík! Great video and content.
Ребята, вы молодцы! Николаю привет)
So inspirational to see your journey!
Love the inspiration I get when I watch your Videos
Right when I was thinking of buying the fx3 . Fuck 😩
watching Jordi here is a better crossover than Marvel!
Anyone else here cringe so hard at the Google fy adds?
You need to charge like double what you currently charge! 50% of income to salaries divided by five people is less than 40k a year. With your talent, skills and teamwork you're services are worth way more than that.
It really does seem low, especially for Norway and Oslo. But maybe they can't raise their prices because of the competition.
Since we earn more then $30k (the title means that this number is the absolut lowest or else we loose money), we also invest in other stuff. So salary is not 50% of 30k.
Hey! I think I got really confused, so, do each of you make 30k a month, or does the production company make 30k a month?
Sorry, the company. We have to earn at least $30K to be able to survive as a company..
Thank you all so much for posting us!
$30k a month would have been awsome if i could do that too.
This content is a gem.
Appreciate the effort put for this! Thank you guys!
Great video guys! Thank you!
always looking forward to seeing you pose new video.
What the frigg were Jordy doing behind the scenes?
amazing work! thanks for sharing
I didn't expect jordy, love this crossover
Love your guys work and wish you the best!

That's Jordy from Cinecom?
if u ever need a swedish employe i will come directly :)
such a good video.. thanks for the peacefully vibes you sent here. you seems to be very, very sympathetic
That Jordy cameo!! 😂😂😂
legends
ohman..i would be soo soo happy to meet such passion driven people. i also want to create something bigger, rather than just being a one man show..
Great guys, happy you are succesfull..thank you for making youtube videos even you do not have to :)
Your content is inspiring, thank you!
This was really interesting thanks for sharing.
Best episode sharing for me
Sykt bra video Anders, blir inspirert av dette. Er det mulig i fremtiden å hjelpe til hvis dere trenger folk deltid eller fulltid? Likte den delen med Jordy 😅 Kjekt å høre at dere gjør det så bra!🙂
Subscribed! Awesome content
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I'm in my own thinking about how to start a company like this.
For Sony fx3 lens can you recommend sir
I love you guys. Really inspiring video. Thank you for this
Seeing Jordy was really refreshing.

Thanks very much. really a fantastic series. good development also in the pandemic. ❤️

Great video, love the transparency. You are lucky your rental is only 10% of your revenue.
Rått gutta! Gratulerer med fire sterke år, og lykke til videre!
