It’s funny how when we have a camera and we are NOT working, how careless we get because not only do we not give a crap, we do not WANT to give a crap. Cuz we’re doing it to have some sort of fun with a camera for once.
Love to hear your take on the strike, I’m a 479 member here in ATL, and my wife being a 600 member. Fortunately I’m still day playing at the moment. I get the idea of supporting the other unions/guilds, but this writer strike made me think why didn’t we (IATSE) strike back in 2021. We had a chance to change the industry for the better but instead we got a tiny pay raise. Idk since your making videos would love to hear a prospective since your someone that an IA member for way longer then I have been.
(This is all coming from a right to work market, ymmv greatly) IATSE/local 600 is weak and only cares about self sustaining at this point in my experience. I've been a part of a few organizing drives, had to strike on a show and didn't get to go back to work, left empty handed. I find there is a severe lack of resources/drive for trying to drum up new membership and educating the younger incoming generation as to why the IA and unions are valuable. Right now I think they are literally bleeding like a hog. For my market, we have like less than 10-20% of membership even making their hours for healthcare. Seems like a great deal for me to rate in as a assistant for 8-10k and still pay quarterly dues, and never make my healthcare. The shift to a much more gig economy in the industry is slowly chipping away at any chance for longevity for the IA unless they decide to pivot more aggressively. Moral of the story, I'm of the opinion alot of the higherups of IATSE & local 600 etc are more worried about preserving the status quo, their jobs, the unions current position, for ABSOLUTELY as long as they can. I don't think they will ever bring about meaningful change, or if they do, the membership will end up paying for it in the end anyway. They will NEVER rock the boat in my eyes.
Need to turn the internal stabilization on in the GoPro 11 next time… shake city

Always excited for the Chris Herr Vlogs. But also the infrequency makes me cherish them more.
They're limited editions ;)
I wanna see the shop someday 😊
It needs a fresh coat of paint, a lighting grid in the ceiling and some neon signage 🤌🏼
Good to see you uploading again!

Best of luck with the channel mate! Have missed it.
Love to learn more tips and tricks! Rehab PT is cool too since we are all doing the burial work.
Man idk if all your videos were gone at some point, I'm excited you're back! Hopefully the situation with the wage negotiations improve for everyone
Welcome back! Missed you.
Your channel reminds me of ponysmasher, hollywood director, still makes youtube videos every now and then for fun. love it!
Just checked him out, it’s great to see more people pulling back the curtain behind bigger film sets
That moment when you go "wait why am I here" 😂 I get the same way when I get around my gear too.
Go for it ! !
I'd be all up for it. 🙂 The yt algorithm has changed quite a bit since your vlog tho. I hope you'd still get nice view counts.
Would definitely try and befriend the algorithm
