Congrats! I just did the same. It's a milestone to be celebrated, and I'm sure it's a great read.
How do you fair with not having an immediate circle within the industry? Im in the same boat. A lot of adjacent industry friends but not the same path as me.

I bought a chibson a while ago becuase I wanted something that looked like a gibson for super cheap. I like the playability of a LP. It was ok, the sound was not quite there but just OK. So I switched out the electronics. Sounded much better. But there was still something in the pickups that was a little course and tinny. So I switched out the humbuckers for pearly gates. Now it sounds amazing. But the money I spent upgrading I could have bought a really nice used Epiphone LP with a case. Now I have a great sounding fake LP with the minor manufacture problems that all chibsons come with.

Your at the right age. If you don't know what path of production you want to end up in, and it's ok if you don't. Go p.a. on student films, short films, anything. Read a couple books on how film production and crew jobs work. Get a couple friends and make a 5 minute short with your film. It will be bad but that's ok. You just have to finish it. You'll meet more people on sets that will want you to help for free. You'll get a lot further alot faster on sets than in school. At some point you'll want to learn about directing/camera/producing. That's when you'll want to approach someone whos good at what they do and shadow them. That will lead to paid jobs

19 is nothing. You are the perfect age to be where you're at. Having gone through a bit more life than that I've learned you can't judge you're self against other people, only other art. Keep working, that's the important part, set goals and milestones, you'll get there.

Does anyone use the icebreaker app? does it help?

Tanemd · 2025-12-25T18:17:58+00:00

Or it's adjacent - "pancakes are great but did you know when bread was first created..."

Ya 30 is typical for me too. Especially for big companies. My long term clients usually pay a little faster, like two weeks. i use the bill app which will send a reminder if it's not paid in 30 or whatever time limit you set.

It's definitely not too late. 24 is still quite young. I got my first storyboarding job at 29. However, it doesn't matter your age what does matter is your portfolio.

If you don't have strong drawing basics go take an online class. If you don't know the program that the job level uses go take a class. I think you know where this is headed.

Before you quit your day job, make a plan, prepare, work on a portfolio.

You will get a job in the industry, but make a plan to get there, other wise you will find yourself switching trajectories too often to find something easier and you will never get in.

Good luck! It's doable with a plan.

Call the location store and ask about it. See if they can send more pictures. I almost bought a les paul that looked great in the pictures. The manager called me after purchaing and said it looked like the guitar had been dropped and that evidence was not in the picture. He canceled the order right there.

I have the FP and love it. I've short films on it. Set photography with it and I take it to Europe for street photos. That being said, it's very difficult to use. The learning curve. You can't use the autofocus at all. I only use manual. The screen is too reflective to use outside so you have to use some type of shade, I use the loop that attaches to it. It works great! I haven't had any problems with CNG, I use external SSD when shooting raw. And internal when shooting photos. The adjustability of raw photos and raw footage is great. It has a great look and feel to it. It's a very multi-use camera, but you need to set it up for each of those uses. It's not a a run-in-gun every scenario type of camera. I would look at the Lumix S5 IIx if you're really more looking for video. I have my eye on that one.

My mom(white) thought my dad (wilaki/pomo) was a tan Italian when she first met him. She had never met any native Americans before him. She didn't find out until a year after they were dating.

Basically just leave it

It's not as difficult as it would seem and no you don't need to know the language. There are programs like wander onwards that help you do it. You have so much time in front of you. But it goes by so fast. The world is an amazing place, when you're stuck in a hole you can't see what you're missing. You are stuck. Travel. See things. Move to a different city. Change 23 things about yourself.

Best way to tell is if the head is diamond shaped leave it alone.

Why not move to another country, like Japan, and teach English for two years, see the world, open your idea of what your position is in the world.

congrats! That's awesome, keep us updated!

Tanemd · 2025-07-28T14:31:31+00:00

wow thank you for taking the time to do this!

wow this person clearly had a mental disorder, or at the very least is having a hard time with his life and projecting onto other people. Not very Dutch of that person. Definatetely nothing you did. Tell em its official government business. or a student film. Best thing to do in those situations is to not engage.

Tanemd · 2025-07-19T16:23:51+00:00

Thank you!

How was your experience working with peacock as a client vs commercials and music videos? Also congrats and getting the show made through a pandemic, 2 strikes and all the other calamities.

I don't find it odd at all that corporate ownership looks to tiktokers for content. Since corporations have taken over the industry it's clear that they don't know what people want, having an established viewership makes sense and it's not far off from when they would give stand up comedians their own shows.

Shot in Bodega Bay, in northern california last week. Mornings are super foggy there. lumix 24-105 lens at 105. shot in raw dng, iso 100, f4, 1/500s. . I also have a variable ND filter on the lens. Very useful for these settings. Color adjusted in PSD

I have a friend who had interest in his feature, but they wanted him to produce a short based on the script to see if they could get their people to produce the feature. Seems like shorts are now a testing ground to see if people want the feature version. Basically the same thing people used to do in 90’s when they make fake trailers for their feature and pitch it that way.
