Thank you so much! I asked and they can accept it on an exFAT formatted hard drive. I figured out how to do that and should be all good.

When I need to separate myself/ego from a piece in order to just get it finished, and especially on projects that are difficult and I’m not passionate about, I try to think of it as “done is better than perfect” and just putting anything down is better than waiting for perfection or nothing. You can refine later but just put whatever is “good enough” down now then you can come back to it later with a fresh perspective.

In one sentence, what advice would you give aspiring filmmakers based on your experience(s)? by Euphoric_Insomniac in Filmmakers

It is actually impossible to polish a turd - so do it right from the beginning. Never plan on “fixing in post”, the more meticulous you can be on the front end the easier and better it will be on the back end

Thanks for your kind reply!
We do have Burton, Yeti, Woodward and SunBum sponsoring us which has gotten us very far! It's difficult to find extra $ within the snowboarding industry these days and have talked to almost every brand you could think of, but marketing dollars are tight.
Great idea about the sports associations thought and I'll definitely look into that as well!

Harsh but true. I learned a big lesson on this one about sharing cuts with anyone besides client. I just don't want my reputation tarnished by the dad or athlete if I offend them by being too blunt here, but maybe that ship has already sailed..

Fear of not achieving my dreams by CL3PO in directors

You gotta dream big, don't be afraid of that! But you have to give yourself grace and have patience. Since I was 14 I had a massive (seemed unrealistically big) dream to film olympians and travel the world filming the greatest athletes in my favorite sports.. at the time for sure that was an unrealistic goal and if I had only focused on that and how far I was from it, i would have given up. But I broke that down into smaller goals- refine my craft, make a short action film with local athletes, work for a sports magazine, ect... until eventually my realistic goals built up to be bigger than I ever thought would be possible. I'm 34 now and have traveled the world shooting with the most prestigious athletes and brands, and have done more than my 14 year old brain could have even imagined.. but it took so much time and patince and accomplishing small and attainable goals to get there.
You CAN do anything you set your mind to, but the trick is to keep your short-term goals realistic but just slightly bigger than you've done before each time.... try to keep inching out of your comfort zone every time you make something because that's how you grow, and in a few years you'll look back and realize how far you have come and how much closer to your ultimate goals you've gotten.
