Want that cinematic look? Here’s the simple way to do it: Rule of Thirds! Think of a 3x3 grid over your shot. Put your subject on one of the lines, not dead center. Here’s why it works: 1. Balance: It creates a more natural and visually pleasing balance. Dead center can feel static, but off-center brings life to the shot. 2. Engagement: It draws the viewer’s eye across the frame, making the image more interesting and keeping their attention longer.

December and January are our dry period! Everyone’s out on holiday, or businesses are running on skeleton crew mode. For us in the creative industry, it can feel like everything slows down.. BUT here’s how to survive (and thrive) during this time: 1. Reflect on the past year: take stock of what worked and what didn’t. Use this time to learn and improve. 2. Plan ahead: create content, brainstorm ideas, and set the stage for upcoming projects. You’ll thank yourself when things pick up. 3. Reconnect: reach out to clients or collaborators. This is the perfect time to maintain relationships and even spark new ideas. It’s all about making the most of the downtime. How are you planning to get through this period?

Creative work is rewarding, but here’s the thing.. burnout is real. On this Motivation Monday, remember that setting boundaries is just as important as hitting your goals. It’s easy to get caught up in projects and deadlines, but don’t forget to take time off for yourself. The best ideas come when you’re refreshed and recharged. So, block out time for breaks, step away when needed, and come back stronger. Creativity thrives when you take care of yourself first. This week, let’s stay focused—but also make time to rest!

One company quoted $3k, another quoted $20k for the SAME project! It’s a common scenario in video production, and here’s why: 1. Understanding the Project: Some companies underprice without fully grasping the scope. 2. Team Size: solo videographer versus a full team—more hands often mean better results. 3. Equipment: Basic gear vs. high-end cameras, lighting, and drones can change the price significantly. 4. Creative Input: Some just film, while others bring creative ideas to shape the project. 5. Markup: Some companies simply inflate their prices without adding extra value. Choose a company that’s transparent about where your money is going and how it will enhance your project and trust between the two. Who's here to make sure you get the best results?

Wednesday’s all about making sure you have the right team behind you. When it comes to creative work, having the best team isn’t just about talent. It’s about chemistry, trust, and communication. Here are a few things I’ve learned along the way: 1. Find people who align with your vision. Skills are great, but if they don’t get your project’s purpose, it won’t click. 2. Communication is everything. The best teams keep things clear, direct, and collaborative, ensuring everyone’s on the same page. 3. Trust is key. If you can rely on your team to deliver and bring their best, the final product will reflect that confidence. Building the right team takes time, but when you do, the results speak for themselves. Surround yourself with people who lift the project higher!

Thinking about leveling up your social media with a content creator? Here are 3 key questions to ask before making the jump: 1. What’s the main purpose of your content? Are you trying to build brand awareness, generate leads, or engage with your audience? Knowing your primary goal will guide the type of content you create and how it’s delivered. 2. Who is your target audience? Understanding who you’re speaking to is essential. Are you trying to reach a specific demographic, or are you building a broader community? The more you know about your audience, the more tailored and effective your content will be. 3. What’s your budget and timeline? Be clear about what you’re willing to invest, when you need the content delivered and how often you want to upload. Having these details upfront will help ensure a smooth process and set the right expectations. These questions will not only prepare you but also help your content creator align with your vision.

Multitasking is overrated! Mondays are perfect for setting your focus for the week. One thing that helps me stay on track is dedicating time blocks for specific tasks. Set your main goals, but don’t forget to allocate a certain amount of time to handle things like emails, texts, and distractions that could pull you away from your bigger tasks. I used to think I could do everything at once but then I realized, trying to juggle was not a great idea. By giving those smaller tasks their own time, you keep your focus sharp on what really matters. It’s all about balance and staying in control of your time. Who's going to crush those goals this week.

"It’s a dog eat dog world," And I call "bullshit," In the creative industry, collaboration has taken me further than competition ever could. Sure, people will try to knock you down, but that doesn’t mean you have to play by those rules. I’ve found that helping others, learning from them, and sharing what I know has led to better work and stronger connections. Creativity thrives on collaboration, not on tearing others down. So, if you’ve been told it’s a dog eat dog world, take a step back and do things differently. Who build others up, share ideas, and collaborates with their clients?
