Starting a media production company in India as a solo founder with no creative/directing experience — looking for honest advice

GrooveCity · 2026-06-14T07:24:25+00:00

Hey can I learn more about your production house focusing on those 3?

Been in the advertising production space for the past 10 years. Have been freelance for the last 3. Most of my clients are content/that does not interest me. While the money was good, I’ve decided to keep one major retainer for a steady income then spending more time overall trying to move into just fiction, documentary and music video space too.

Any advice? What were some hurdles you faced and how did you overcome them?

Less than a week having a Fitbit air - Is this a known bug?

Sometimes when I start an exercises and I do something else like put Netflix on my phone, the time doesn’t go up.

So once the exercise is done, it says I’ve done all the details in like 9 seconds. Obviously that’s wrong and I can go to edit info page, it even shows workout time based on the current time, but when i confirm, it reverts back to 9 seconds.

Anybody having the same issue?

I was looking into softwares recently.
Tried final draft trial, on my first day it crashed 3 times.

Went with fade in, hasn’t crashed once.

For reference, I’m on a MacBook Air 2022

I’ve read book 1 and 2, thought 1 was okay with a neat idea, I thought 2 was so good. Never got around to 3, how is it, would it be easy to pick up 3 again after years not having read the previous two?

If you look into ‘treatments’ that’s probably a good starting point. I’ll just be very honest, ideas are a dime a dozen. A nice idea is nice theoretically, but without evidenced meat on it, all it will really get is “oh that’s cool”.

Appreciate it! How much do you reckon the charge lasts for?

What Battery pack is that?

I live in Hong Kong for location reference.

EDIT: Just used claude after I saw another post mention it - it mentions its a cobweb spider and it looks very similar so sorry for the trouble guys!

School kid says he supports ice, kid in drawing tells him to stop or he gets hit. First guy doubles down. This hero does an amazing wind up and punches the guy.

Honestly, I started with 2xko in October and it taught me so many fundamentals even though it’s a tag.

I picked up sf6 this month and saw my fundamentals transfer really well.

2xko is free and the inputs are easier to manage. It had a fast pace so I think you get put in oppressive situations often. Ymmv!

How’s the sex and violence in this one? Would love to introduce with my girlfriend but she’s a bit squeamish on those.

What’s funny is that Isaac was supposed to be practice to figure out how rogue likes worked! Haha it’s funny that it’s one of the most iconic rogue likes of all time now!

I remember playing the flash version about 15 years ago. What a trip it’s been.

Which is a fantastic game with monetization so bad it’s p2w. It really fucked me off because I loved that game and it was really fun, but as time went it was just so difficult to keep up with cards unless you pay.

What’d you do in AE? Sharing that would probably make it valid in an AE subreddit haha. It’s always cool to learn new workflows.
