    Great channel you've got going on!
    I'm a filmmaker from Portugal and I'm striving to quit my job and go full-time with the filmmaking thing.
    Keep it up!

    Hey thank you so much for sharing your methods! A new freelance animator here. I agree sometimes I it’s just so hard to start a thing, but once you get into it, even unrelentingly, things start rolling. Also I agree it’s important to point out the “uncontrollable” nature to creative works. Sometimes an idea you just can’t force it to happen within a set timeline. I’ve never used google calendar before actually, imma go ahead and try it out. It’s great to see how you resort to moving tasks around sometimes, I think that’s a great strategy to kind of kill up the chunks of working time, and towards feeling productive, which is key to stay motivated.

      Thanks for watching Wang, appreciate your comment. Glad to hear you took something from the video. Depending on how complex your task list is, one thing I've switched to is Asana rather than Google Task as it allows for a bit more organization as well as shared task lists if you work with a team. Best of luck kicking off your freelance career!

    Just watched a few of your vids for the first time. Subscribed too! Nice work. I do have a question about what type of jobs you do and how you started landing those gigs as you first started out. Would love to hear more about that.

    • @ScottBell
      @ScottBell  5 лет назад +2

      Hey, thanks for watching and the sub! I do a lot of different types of projects but I focus on outdoor adventure and land conservation stuff. But I also do corporate promo type stuff and event filming to make sure I can pay the bills. I think my biggest advice to land work is to network and do work for free on the area you want more work to build up a reputation. Check my video, Doing with for free to get paid.

      Nice! I used to live in Van but decided I needed a bit slower pace so moved to the Island a few years ago. I do a bit of stock, hard to stay motivated on it. I use Blackbox, you? Definitely some great spots to shoot in this area.
