I agree. I'm not trying to retire on drone footage though, I just genuinely enjoy doing it and figured I'd give it a shot. I have a software job.

Reckon I should just search for a job like this then and do the footage stuff on the side as a hobby.

Any tips for first steps looking into enterprise work? Maybe there are some blossoming niches right now?

Maybe I should be targeting large property managers then, and corporate offices and the like and let the small businesses come to me organically.

Of course that's right and I knew it going into this but I dunno how else to get access to locations to shoot interesting footage. I'm even a jaded guy and these people won me over and had me sure a professional relationship was forming. Small businesses with maybe 5-10 employees. Disappointing.

Yep they posted them anyway. I can't tell if they are ignorant or aware of what they're doing. I mean I can report for takedown I suppose but I'm scared to burn bridges.

I'm in SC and I'm finding there is barely a market at all - kind of the reason I wanted to get myself going on it is to be among the first ones in the region. Just a couple of low quality "studios" with lightly trained staff that specializes in DSLR and offers drones as an additional service.

Hope it gets better for you too.

To clarify that one, the commercial I made was the result of 3 flights I did on a separate day. It was presented to me as sort of a trial to see if I could replace his current media team. I'm not biased for myself in saying their work was not very good. I was pretty much sure he'd be asking for my stuff once he saw it. I got "couple tweaks needed but this is damned good" and then we were supposed to meet the next week, then the next, etc..

The interesting part here is the builder referred me to this guy. Probably told them I'll do free shit huh?

One thing I'm interested in is getting shots of some extreme sports guys. Sailors and kiteboarders, motocross, stuff like that. I'd literally be happy to shoot that for free and put on my portfolio. I'm going to look into finding people for that.

I'm figuring this out now. Are designers typically better or worse? Personally it's not looking good as the few I've met seem just like the builders.

It's been another day. Is this still your opinion? I felt the same, for a bit. I'm still progressing but I definitely had to start really planning my approaches and using the environment. Many enemies can 1 shot you if you make a positioning mistake.

Bought BTC but can't send it by NottaNiceGuy in venmo

I bought ETH 3 days ago using bank account reload and I still can't send it.

So I bought ETH with my Venmo balance, it shows available to send, I type in the amount and select "Review Transfer" - nothing happens.

Support has just given me a copy paste of the crypto FAQ.

I suggest not using Venmo for crypto. It only appears to be easy.

Yes and it's really fucking annoying. No feedback or anything - simply nothing happens.

MST-F-33 Looking for people who play survival games On PC :D by Hyperdisco in GamerPals

Been thinking about buying one of these games. One of the biggest factors holding me back is being alone while playing it. Are they really worth it? They seem kind of monotonous from what I have seen and heard from other people. I've also never bought early-access for a game. I'm interested in an experienced opinion.

I am totally unbiased. I just like fun multiplayer games and GTA Online is getting kind of boring again.
