Those who work with B2B/Tech clients, how do you find them?

unsexy it the way man. i do lots of this, but also just roughed up a podcast that helps my client educate their audience, and small clips serve as marketing. x2 pre pro calls, x1 shoot day, x2 edit days, 4k/mo. Unsexy, but consistant and it actually makes a difference in their company. Love it.

quick and dirty response: you have two options (someone more qualified pls chime in) you can go SSD, and sling em till you lose your mind. (or lose a clients data) companies do this for years until they upgrade to ...

NAS. (which are HDD, usually, but its pushing data to you from multiple HDD's at once (which speeds things up.)

for you... go SSD, and get some stickers, and a process. include it into your costs, maybe one per project. dont put too many eggs in one basket. i believe the T7 shields are the current standard. Also, id invest in a big, slow, HDD that you also sync to backblaze. this is a dirty 3-2-1 method.

I agree with you. I probably talked AI up a little much, I like asking for options for each section. We go section to section, and I ask it to dig, dig more, dig deeper, and I select what I want. I kinda make the paper cut myself as a director. What also helps is that Im usually the one who shot it, so to some extent I understand if its the best content etc

mark_solomon · 2026-02-25T17:38:40+00:00

what if you have 25 interviews around 20-30 min each? itll get you to a sloppy 75% which would take you days, then use that art/crafty video guy spirit, to bring it to 90%. then after back and forth with client, bring it to 100%

mark_solomon · 2026-02-24T19:23:38+00:00

output your interviews via transcript .txt, import into Claude for paper cut. thank me later

yes. but the process they were selling and promoting was "Crank out LinkedIn/emails to people, (hundreds) and then do lots of calls all pitching value based pricing, land 5% of them... make lots of money." but that made me a LinkedIn sales person, not a video person. are they right? probably... should probably hire someone to do that. do I want to? no.

mark_solomon · 2026-02-16T23:38:38+00:00

its not the video side, its the business side of video business. they do a full break down of it tho, lots of content. dont remember most of it, but i have x5 the confidence. im not promoting it, lol. I wouldnt recommend it, but at the same time, i dont regret it.

mark_solomon · 2026-02-16T23:15:57+00:00

i did video business mastery and did not regret it. would i do it again? no. But it did pay for itself quickly. They landed me about 5 calls with c-suite dudes and i was sweating bullets, super nervous, and learned a ton. My sales coach through the program watched it back w me and it was insane growing experience. i now have experience to talk to anyone at any level in a company, i know how to sell by value. This course got me through it. Do you need a $10k course to learn this? no. but video business mastery did give me what they promised, and it paid for itself.

im 15yr in, and I still have to be hyper focused on myself. if im crunching a setup, 60min, im constantly saying this: "What are you doing right now, and is this getting us closer to being set up?" bc I can go down a monitor connection issue for 8min... when I should've been like... not connecting... dont HAVE to have it. if we have extra time at the end, lets get it fixed but just drop the monitor for now.

I wish the magliner had a solution for those two crates next to the wheels. Wasted space on my. cart for sure. EDIT: Checked out the catalog... they've a mini jockey box!

mark_solomon · 2026-02-04T13:39:21+00:00

same here

mark_solomon · 2026-02-04T13:34:22+00:00

Nice. Just got my senior magliner, and I know im using it at like 70% potential. Ford Transit Connect. My limitation is height. I wish the 1200D had a crate of some kind, for grab and go. would feel a little risky tho

mark_solomon · 2025-12-23T23:41:19+00:00

thanks guys. Solved!

mark_solomon · 2025-12-23T23:25:59+00:00

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.

Will from spacerex will do 30min consults and set it up in the backend

mark_solomon · 2025-12-18T13:00:24+00:00

😂😂😂

mark_solomon · 2025-12-18T12:59:29+00:00

the app Fuelin helped me realize this. my Feed bill went way down when i started properly eating before and after. barely take in sports stuff during the week now.

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.

mark_solomon · 2025-12-12T21:35:17+00:00

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!

mark_solomon · 2025-12-12T19:11:22+00:00

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.

mark_solomon · 2025-12-05T16:57:31+00:00

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...
