There's where I'm at. I'm trying to improve my social media skills 😅
I experienced most of it as well. Especially the point about don’t care for the amount of followers. There was a time I focused so hard on likes and followers that I was too busy with that to create new worthy content. Since I’ve changed that my business is growing and I get so many more jobs. Thanks as always for this high quality video!
Of course man! Thanks so much for watching!
Just found your channel Danny. Really really happy with the quality of your videos. From the production quality, to your presence, and your actual advice is all just spot on! Well well done man, I see big things coming your way
Man thanks so much Sage! Really appreciate this note man
Your candidness literally caused me to insta-sub at like minute 1:15
"Just be a normal person" haha I love it
hahaha thats this video summed up in one sentence.
Currently bingeing your channel and see my Instagram in this one. 😂 Now I love you even more. Thanks dude. Also... I'll send ya an invoice Monday 🤑 haha

You radiate with positive vibes of young grandpa and i love it !
That aspects that you said really is realistic.

magic of youtube just recommended your channel, sometimes it does wonders!!!
I'm in man!!

Danny Gevirtz you got it man!! If you around Montreal area hit me up man, im a lot in the coffee world, wld be my pleasure to treat ya one!! (I got extra coats) if ya cold 😅✌🏼
Good stuff man, great to hear that you are getting work through IG. I'm not sure how much it's gotten me at this point but gotta keep up the feed!
Thanks dude! I also live near a major market idk if that has much to do with it? I also reach out to people often haha
@@DannyGevirtz Yeah that probably is a part of it. Are you reaching out to artists to work on music videos mostly or other types of projects?
Danny, I stumbled on to you channel tody and so glad I did. Excellent advice all around. Thank you for sharing your insight. I appreciate you! Keep on killing it!
So happy you found it! Thanks so much!
Glad you're from Philly. It's encouraging that you are not in "LA...NY".
For sure man! I have no interest in LA or NY too which I feel more secure about every day
Theres a lot of Golden information there, everything you said is so very true, using social media, networking, adding value and being yourself are all so very important. A very good piece of info that you mentioned is that knock backs will happen and they do but I have found over the years many good contacts have come from other contacts so its important to preserver no matter how hard it can be. Danny you nailed it again, great advice and thoroughly enjoyed watching the video. LOL@Salmon and Alaskan rivers, they actually do. :) Loved it!
Thanks as always Peter! What you said is true!
👌🏼👌🏼 great video
Thanks so much dude!!!!
Preview is a great tool. Danny dropping gems 💎
Haha thanks bro!!
So many of my friends call themselves creatives as their title on ig lmaoo
hahaha help them out!
Just found your channel and i am so grateful for it. Thankyou for all these videos man.
Thank you man! So glad youre finding value here!
Danny, men. I just found your channel and man thank you for the great advice and knowledge you share. I can tell you know exactly what you are doing.
Quality video as always. I always make it a point to sit down and give my fullest attention whenever I watch your video. RUclips needs more content like this.
Thats awesome man! Thank you as always!
Thank u so much for your advice, bless
Great stuff Danny!
Thank you man!!!!
Great video Danny ! Loved it !
Yo thanks so much dude!
“Everyone’s creative”. So true.
Such a good video!!!!! I like your style and the slightly awkward silences and setences.
hahaha im very good at awkwardness. Thank you so much!
So many things to worry about! you offer a perspective. I offer a perspective, so does another person. ultimately, People will cling to you or not. i think the important thing to know is, what kind of camera person you are. regardless of what your IMAGE IS, your work will speak for itself. focus on the art!
Excellent content as usual! Keep it up, Danny!
lmao, "let's collab". Literally the most ambiguous suggestion ever.
haha i agree man!
Damn it's sad how RUclips destroy the background...:( Awesome video!💯True, Instagram is one of the best tools for getting work as a filmmaker, I get 90% of my musicvideo requests from Instagram!🔥
lots of value in this video, made a lot of changes to my feed. 👍🏼
Amazing thank you!

“It doesn’t matter what you look like”

So many thanks danny sir. How i can get my first filmmaker job? What gear I should buy when starting? Please make video Sir. It's my humble request to you.
Thanks so much man! Ive actually made a couple of videos that discuss that already theyre on my channel

Thanks so much dude!
Awesome work bro

Thanks for the great tips dude!
Of course dude! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tips. Good video!
Great video very informative!
Thanks so much Alison!
Funny enough, I do photography, videography and cinematography.
I like mixing things up, keeping my creative juices flowing, keeping things interesting
You're criminally underrated
Haha man I appreciate that!
Great video bro
Dope content as always
Thanks so much brotha!!!
thank man for make this video. realy learn a lot from you 😀
This is an awesome video Danny, absolutely loved these tips. I'm in the midst of fixing up my own Insta and this has made some decisions so much easier. I was literally going to post a photo today and decided that it wasn't sending the right message for the future work I want to do. Keep up this great content!
So glad to hear that Matt! Appreciate you dude!
love you and your videos but tbh I couldn't help but chuckle at the irony of "quality" being spelled wrong when you were discussing high quality work lol 😂
solid tips!
Thanks so much Avi!!
Loving your channel. Inspiring for sure. Earned another sub.
Thanks so much! Welcome aboard!
Hey Danny, thanks for such an amazing video. Just wanted to ask about reaching out. Were you referring to reaching out to other filmmakers and photographers? What would I say differently if it was a influencer I wanted to make videos for? Thanks for the help!
yoo Dan, Just followed you on Instagram and realized you live in philly too ! small world. see ya next video !
Ay!! Love to see that man. I'm sure I'll see you walking around. Send me a DM and maybe we can get you out on a shoot
@@DannyGevirtz all love, thx and no doubt!
Great tips Dogg
Glad to hear that my guy! Thank you!
Very nice channel. You're a very talented imagemaker. I understand what you're saying about showing your work if you want to get hired, even working for free to make a name for yourself, Instagramming etc. I can totally understand your logic if you're addressing those who want to become a photographer/film maker for hire. However, if you are looking to make a career in photography or film making by creating original work, Instagramming and working for free is probably going to destroy your plans, because why would anyone pay to see it, if it's free on instagram/youtube/vimeo? There's where I would make a distinction, but yes, if you want to get hired, it is a great way to show someone who is thinking of employing you what you're capable of.
Gold advice. Thank you so much. Just curious: do you have a separate personal/private instagram account for non-professional usage?
1. Reach out to people

🎬🎥
i love yoû brother
is it worth having a personal instagram and a business instagram or do you just have one?
I guess wedding filmmakers are just videographers? anyways great tips
Haha I would say so. Theres nothing wrong with it at all its just not cinematography. You're not lighting anything properly which is a big differentiator.
@@DannyGevirtz I will submit that most wedding video people do not light. However, for reception (especially speeches), I light the speaker using a 120D with the fresnel mount, and usually gel'd to match the 3200-3600k temp of the room. I also use a little TorchLED light as hairlight when possible. We further add a mic stand and instruct the speech giver not to move - thus ensuring the lighting we've put together, along with the composition of our shots are not affected. We light. We look for light during the times the bride and groom prep - window light, of course... but we look for light and we use it. anyways, i dig your channel man. i think you made me wanna buy a C200 damnit HA
Hey man! Just curious if you started a business for all your work? Was that something easy to do? I work freelance and I'm not sure if there is a guide you recommend to help build to the point you need to open your own business?
LOL why did you diss Omaha NE like that lmao. they are working hard down there
I'm totally guilty of the "let's collab" thing tho. It IS weird when I think about it
What do you think about marketing yourself as a company? I work for an ad agency and there are always multiple subcontractors even at small shoots anyway.
What's really stopping me from branding my work as a company? I feel like branding my work as a person might come off less professional and cheap.
I have an LLC and I want to take on jobs on the side apart from my main job at advertising agency. Not sure how to start and how to market myself.
Honestly I don't want to be considered as a company. I personally just want to be a Cinematographer and get hired as an individual. Just the life I prefer. As for social media i feel like its a lot harder to promote a business and than an individual. I might not be the best resource for you!
I’m going down the route of a Cinematographer but I do not have enough work on my personal account. These are very helpful tips. I see many people post Filmmaker/Photographer etc...I don’t want to be known as just a Videographer. I want to only focus on Cinematography related work. I guess I find myself stuck creating content for people to know about me. Do you have any suggestions?
Go out and create projects yourself until you have enough for a complete body! Shoot whatever you want. Fake commercials/ short films/ docs! Go wild and have fun nothing needs to be perfect
Me being from Omaha Nebraska and watching this video😭
Would you suggest multiple Instagram pages for different work? I love weddings but I also do small business social content. Do I make one for weddings and one for business stuff?
Hey man! if i was shooting weddings often and I wanted to keep shooting weddings I would market it under a company name thats seperate than my own name and other work. There's a certain stigma that gets attached to people who shoot weddings. I mean i shoot them on occasion and theres nothing wrong with it but i would never market myself in that way. Does that make sense?
Danny Gevirtz yeah, makes sense. What do you about personal, hobby stuff? I shoot a lot of landscapes for fun but I don’t make any money off it. Do I do another page for my personal stuff? I feel like I’ll have 30 accounts at some point.
What if I want to make a brand? Then also I have to use my picture instead of the logo?
you can use the logo!
@@DannyGevirtz thanks for your reply!. I was watching your videos from past 5 days and yesterday I subscribed your channel. You pit out some amazing content 🔥.
You are a graet DP and I love the modern handheld vibe you are producing and I think that most of us can really learn something from a working DoP like you, but... it most of the time doesn't fell like you outlined what yu wanted to say and just record. Shure we don't need the most pland out and eloquent videos ever but for eymple this video yould be half the time if you just scripted it and skiped the rambling,
I think just by judging from you epic work you really have something to share with us...
Hey man! Sorry you felt that way about the video. At the end of the day I cut what feels like rambling to me and I keep what feels like it shows who i am as a human being so thats why i keep a lot of it. Glad you like the work!
Think i had you in my recommendations for a few months and saw a couple of your videos during lockdown. Came back today to go further in your chanel, great content you have. And it's so refreshing to have someone on YT who seems genuinely nice. You got yourself a new subscriber ! Now hit me on insta and let's collab...just kidding, keep up the good work ;)
That being said, totally agree with you, decided to get more into instagram recently for my production company (incisive.tv). And yes keeping it easy to identify and avoid to go over the top seems like a good recipe. Took me time to understand that in today's world as videographer/cinematographer/production company etc. you NEED to be present on all social medias.
i keep it simple, i just call myself a content creator, cover all bases lol
Haha id recommend not doing that
I mainly say i'm a filmmaker, I don't like the word videographer as I do a lot more than videography.
Hey man, love your work. Wanna collab?
Oh, wow. Look Mom, another very rare Instagram Howto. And whats here the difference from the other 1.000.000 Instagram tutorials out there? Let me guess.. the magical "2020" in the description :)
Feel free to not watch!
@@DannyGevirtz TOO Late. For this the almighty question
Dude, what's with the jab at Omaha? It's not Philly but still a big city with plenty of work (speaking from experience).
haha i didnt mean it like that sorry
11:00 you have to go in with the mindset of actually giving a shit about their work and actually wanting to do a piece for them rather than either seeing $$ or their amount of followers they have for exposure.
For instance if I see a musician and I really like their work and have a roughish idea on how we can take them (the musician) to a new level/different direction. Find something good, see if you can improve it, reach out.
Hey man, new subscriber here. Awesome content! btw do you want to collab? 🤣
Hell yeah! Thanks for subscribing brotha. Lmfao I get it way too often
I'd love to see the ig pageant of everyone that's here in the comments. Mine is @visaliaphotographer
Your throat must hurt🤔
YT compression killed your background
..... so you don't want to link up?
I swear to god!
