5 Filmmaking Myths That Could Derail Your Progress

NEW RUclips VIDEO
Whether we're seasoned professionals or just starting out, it's easy to get caught up in the negative self-talk or discouraging beliefs about being a filmmaker or cinematographer. While there is some truth to the obstacles to overcome to make film a career, there is also a lot of mythology around the business that shouldn't be believed at face value.
Today, I want to dispel five of those myths and hopefully encourage you to get out there and start creating.

I know you've only been active for a month or so, but your vids are so good - you come off a genuine guy who busted his ass, fought the good fight, and won. Looking forward to more :-)

Thanks so much for the kind words. I’ve always viewed myself as a blue collar filmmaker, so glad that’s coming through. The whole presenting thing is new to me - haha.

Awesome video. Wow. I can’t express how thankful I am to have come across your channel. I used to make tons of fun videos with my friends on this RUclips channel - over 2 million views! Then it kinda stopped. School, life, etc. I settled for a bit with my job. Now I’m actively pursuing videography as more than a hobby, but a full time passion. I’m working on tons of video projects, and making sure I keep practicing with my camera and learning every day (I entered a 48 hour film festival, and I’m up for best comedy and best cinematography!!). Anyways, thanks again for this video and your content, it’s people like you that make the little guy stay motivated with their dreams…I’ll keep chasing them 💪

Primero en español:
Acabo de ver ocho en tus Videos, mientras lavas los platos y realmente el mensaje llega cuando tiene que llegar. Muchísimas gracias porque son palabras muy inspiradoras para el momento por el cual estoy pasando y admiro bastante talento que tienes para abrirte y contarnos a todos tus experiencias y tus consejos. Realmente creo que es una de las mejores, sino no la mejor suscripción, aunque RUclips que he hecho.
now in English:
I literally just watched eight of your Videos, while you wash the dishes and the message really arrives when it should arrive. Thank you very much because they are very inspiring words for the moment I am going through and I admire the talent you have to open up and tell us all about your experiences and your advice. I really think it's one of the best, if not the best, RUclips subscription I've ever done.
