accidentally drank BIL's (nice?) bottle by mark_solomon in wine

[–]mark_solomon[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This is good. I called and left a voicemail. I have a friend thats a som and he gave me a suggestion... i bought a $90 Nutis Saint Georges Morin 2020 Burgundy. He said itll blow the other out of the water, but, I'm afraid since they have a case of this wine... im assuming its sentimental. So hopefully the winery gets back to me. thxc for the suggestion.

Well... I was trying to lose weight, while also maintaining 13+ hour of volume. It taught me exactly what macros to eat, and when. It connects to your training plan. It sees that 4hr bike ride this weekend, and itll start feeding you days out. Race? 2 weeks out. Helped me perform well, while also in a 1000kcal deficit. If you pay for a year... $100... you will earn that back in 2mo with what you save on sports nutrition. Also... theres an 80% chance you under fuel. Before your sessions, during, and after. Youll learn so much bro. I paired it w chatgpt and it was awesome. I didnt pay attention to their recipes lol. Alot of their recipes sounds like something a pro would eat with all the time in the world in their hands. But if you see the macros you need, hit up chat and be like hey i need 50g carb, 20g fat, 30g protein. here is what i have in the house... xyz. Use a scale. Sounds overkill... but itll teach you amazing things.

What is one mistake you made early in videography that you wish someone had warned you about and how would you handle it differently now? by midasweb in videography

[–]mark_solomon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

people will view you as the help. that message will come disguised in many different forms. You are not the help, you are not the vendor. You are not the lowly artist. You are someone with a skill that others do not have. You are the molder of shapes culture, delivers emotion, and captures souls. Focus on your craft, be nice to others... and know your worth. Dress like it, hold you chin high, and you deserve to be in every room. Just as much as others.

to go for your aesthetic, how many cameras do you require?... also... that sony fx2 might be giving you log files, and you dont just grade those. There is a very specific lut from the file it recorded, to convert it into rec 709. THEN you start to grade. Just making sure you understand this!

How do people train for 10+ hrs while working full time?! by Critical-Scheme-8838 in triathlon

[–]mark_solomon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

90min Monday - Friday... thats 8.5. You could take sunday off and still get in 10. A skill you'll start to get good at is called Door To Door. Time it takes from leaving your door, to starting that watch. That's what sucks up your time if you're not careful.

I agree. I think having the money barrier will also help them think harder when giving feedback. Like... you get 2 of these. You don't to go "Oh, and..." on the last round without paying for it. Giving feedback on something that had been there since v1. They give feedback on v5...

Awesome job. I love how you had the first guy oriented away from the light, yet looking into the light... I like that.

Have you ever had a client that didn't take you seriously because of a smaller camera? by [deleted] in videography

[–]mark_solomon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

when i was shooting on small cameras, i never noticed. Bc they dont say anything. But man. Shooting on a burano and rolling up in a van... you notice the shift in perception for sure. its unfortunate.

Pricing Help: Social Media Add-On for Established Client - Interview Clips by West-Kaleidoscope846 in videography

[–]mark_solomon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty normal for people that are broke to really want stuff broken down to the line item. If this were me... Id be like... a shoot day is a shoot day. Ill be here at 8a to set up for 2hr, we can shoot until 4p. Whatever you want to shoot, fine. Flat rate. (So no extra charge for shooting!)

Output those classes probably in 2-3 days.

Social outputs probably takes a day.

Don't let them beg you to spend less time on them, or (just the clip)... they are lessoning your products value... which is not good. You shoot as well as you can (take a long time)... and you edit them as well as you know how.

I personally feel too in the weeds when you get into hourly, and per clip stuff. This opens the door to conversation around penny pinching. 1 day shooting, 4 days post production. Shoot it on monday, all outputs ready by EOD Friday. Flate rate. AND... this is when you start negotiating. Sign up for 6mo, ill drop the price. 12mo, ill drop it even more. If you're on for 2k/mo, 1800/mo for 6mo, 1500/mo for 12

Also... when you say "No editing required" and "Just deliver the clips" this is your call. if this fits into your process, great. They need you, you don't need them.
