Thank you for the tips man, really appreciate the advice. As a novice, it’s truly an honor, and privilege to learn from one of the many builders of tomorrow. Love you man, and you got this🤟❤️
Really great and grounded tips Elliot! I feel I need to learn more about business this year than about the photography as life has thrown new curve balls, where I had been perhaps resting on my laurels before the pandemic
Thanks for watching! It's a tough one because us creatives love doing the thing that we do best. However, we need a good understanding of business and a clear strategy to avoid being just another starving artist.
Thanks Sam! I’m actually looking to move away from b2b video and more into film & commercials in the long run so it’s good to hear that these tips are transferable.
Well done Elliott, some sound advice. May I suggest you invest in some additional hand gestures in your videos. If you have to edit out bits, maybe continue your talk over silent clios, to not make it too obvious ... which you did on a few occasions.
You can't be a filmmaker in 2024 unless you are going to use a film camera, like an Arriflex 435. ANd we don't use that gear anymore. You make MOVIES, they are no longer films. That's the other guys. We work with Non-linear, Digital Video, and CGI. We do what film wished it could. Film and Digital Video require different skill sets with different historical timelines covering 150 years. Know the difference and be better at your craft. It's the 21st century.
That's not entirely true as many people refer to movies as films and that is okay. Nobody calls them moviemakers, all of them are called filmmakers. And many directors do still use film. Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, Paul Thomas Anderson and even Wes Anderson have all used film stock. I know most people use digital, but to say it's gone or not ever going to be used again is not true at all. In reality, film stock seems to be making a slow comeback into mainstream media.
The way I see it a filmmaker is someone who tells stories through the medium of film & video - regardless of the tools being used. And by the way, I actually really love the look and feel of 16mm & 35mm film. However, the fact is that it’s not right for every project and majority of modern day filmmakers like myself are shooting corporate video & commercial work day to day and just aren’t working with the budgets to shoot with film on every project.
@@elliotforemanfilmsSadly you know very little about the film process. How you feel is contradictory to how it is. Film is not only about budget it's about quality. Film production costs too much and Digital Video is superior. You are a movie maker. Are you embarrassed about the technology you are using?
@@DirectorMMBecause they do not know the difference. Those who still use film can because of who they are and what they have been using. They have been filmmakers (using film) why do they need to change? The 20 -30% cost overrun using film is ok due to who those filmmakers are, Tarantino and such will get the overrun back. Unlike you, I would not use you if you suggested film. It provides no production quality. Besides most of you not knowing how to use a FILM camera. I can hire a videographer for less than half what it would cost me to use a film camera and an operator who knows how to use it. Are you embarrassed by the gear and technology that defines your craft?
Love it Elliot! Especially number 5. Great video😊
Thanks man! Number 5 is definitely the most important. Glad you enjoyed :)
Great work man! Nailing these videos 🙌

I'm so glad I came accros your channel
Glad to have you here
Really solid video here! As a freelancer with 13 years experience in motion design this seems to transfer pretty directly to film.
Thanks Sam! I’m actually looking to move away from b2b video and more into film & commercials in the long run so it’s good to hear that these tips are transferable.
Total newbie here that hasn’t even started properly yet!
Some great advice that’s explained well in this video mate, nice work
Glad you found it helpful and I wish you all the best in your filmmaking journey :)
@@elliotforemanfilms thanks mate. That's really kind of you 👍🏻
Great advice in here mate, keep it up
Thanks man

Thanks for watching! Will keep this in mind moving forward and will hopefully refine the process with each video. Cheers!
Great stuff Elliot. Keep it coming!!
This is what I'm waiting for, can't wait for next content about filmmaking
Thanks for watching! There's gonna be a new video every Monday :D
Brother, you're out of sync 🫡 The merit is there though : ))
Yeah, annoyingly a slight editing glitch. Thank you for watching.

Are you okay? This is a weird comment.
